LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 New England Indoor Showcase (Saturday)
Xavier Zykoff is a 2022 RHP/OF with a 6-2 160 lb. frame from Poughkeepsie, NY who attends Spackenkill. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and long limbs, lean build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.21 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, starts square to the plate, chest high leg lift moving into delivery with a long stride down the mound; compact arm action through the back working to a three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 80 mph, mostly true in life but hides it well to create some deception. Curveball served as an out pitch with steady 10-4 shape up to 73 mph, tends to slow arm action prior to release. Fields position well. Takes short and quick steps to the ball in the outfield, quick transfer out of glove working into a higher slot, extra steps moving into release, true carry on throws with some present carry. Right-handed hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow at the plate, utilizes a leg lift trigger for timing in the box. Gets the barrel going in swing, stays short and quick to the ball, shows a handle for the barrel. Tools project in the box with added strength, showed comfort working to pull side, occasionally gets longer through the zone with swing. Excellent student.
