LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Mid-Atlantic Prospect Showcase
Jarek Vargas is a 2021 LHP/1B with a 6-2 208 lb. frame from Toms River, NJ who attends Manchester Twp. Recorded a 7.53 second sixty-yard dash time. Large, square shouldered frame with present strength and long levers. Primary left-handed pitcher that works exclusively from the stretch with a slightly above belt high leg lift and tilted upper half move at balance. Incorporates shorter stride out to foot strike with minimal hip drive and stiff front leg, which could improve overall command with minor refinement. Fastball worked in the 75-81 mph range in this look, topping out at 83 mph from a vertical over-the-top arm slot. Shows the ability to create downhill plane when in sync and does exhibit present arm speed. Command was slightly erratic in this look but can improve with minor refinements to his overall pitching mechanics. Did show feel for spin with 12-6 shaped curveball that flashed true downer action when thrown with conviction out in front. Secondary first baseman with deliberate actions around the bag, deep fielding position and accurate throws across the diamond. Recorded arm strength up to 76 mph in drills. Left-handed hitter that hits from an even based stance with a lower back elbow and leg lift trigger. Shows consistent bat-to-ball skills with strength in hands and developing feel for the barrel. Middle-to-opposite field approach with inside-out swing path and best impact to the left side of the field. Solid overall skill set that will continue to improve with proper adjustments.
