2015 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Austin Nappi is a 2018 RHP with a 6-0 190 lb. frame from Matawan, NJ who attends Red Bank Catholic. Medium, athletic build with present strength throughout frame. Primary right-handed pitcher, varies arm slot from mid three-quarter to high-three quarter and hides the ball well through the back with a high leg lift at beginning of delivery. Uses lower half well in delivery, topped out at 73 mph fills up the strike zone with a three pitch mix. Slows arm slightly but has a nice feel for curveball, showing 11-5 shape. Changeup shows nice fading life to arm side at 65 mph. Takes short steps to the ball in the infield, stays low through actions, accurate throws with strength that will continue to develop. Right-handed hitter, starts with an upright and balanced stance. Upper body swing with line drive path. Short path to ball with hands, creates contact up the middle and to pull side, showing occasional lift with a feel for the barrel. Very good student.
