LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 Mid-Atlantic Prospect Showcase
Dennis Whitford is a 2022 LHP/1B, OF with a 6-1 175 lb. frame from Parlin, NJ who attends Sayreville War Memorial. Recorded a 7.66 second sixty-yard dash time. Long, lanky frame with plenty of room to fill out. Primary left-handed pitcher with a fairly simple delivery, belt high leg lift and shorter stride out foot strike. Works from a high three-quarters arm slot with developing arm speed and segmented arm swing. Fastball worked in the low-to-mid 70s, topping out at 75 mph with occasional cut to it. Secondary offerings are still in the developmental stages with curveball showing slower 1-7 shape and the changeup being thrown at similar arm speed to the fastball with not much separation in speed. Secondary outfielder with deliberate actions into and through the fielding process, fields cleanly off front foot into an elongated crow hop while working into a long over-the-top arm slot to throw. Recorded arm strength up to 72 mph in drills. Left-handed hitter that hits from an wider, spread stance with a high back elbow and toe-tap trigger. Incorporates slight weight shift into contact with slotted elbow load and a flat swing path. Whole field approach with consistent bat-to-ball skills and developing feel for the barrel. Solid swing mechanics with best impact to the pull-side that will continue to improver with minor barrel plane adjustments. Good Student.
