LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 13U National Showcase
Merrik McGrath is a 2028 RHP/1B/3B with a 6-1 190 lb. frame from Alpharetta, GA who attends Mount Pisgah Christian. Large, broad shouldered frame with present strength proportioned throughout. Ran a 7.71 60-yard dash. Primary right-handed pitcher, side step into a hip high knee stuck at top of delivery, lands slightly closed with strike foot coming down the mound; works to a three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 84 mph and lived in low-80s, heavy sinking life to it through the zone with present arm speed; tends to drop slot on release of slider, bigger shape to it with solid spin out of the hand. Fields the ball cleanly out front in the dirt, actions play well on a corner and shows arm strength/carry for the left side, shows ability to change slots with some intent to complete the play. Right-handed hitter, begins with a medium base and a lower back elbow in the box. Short and direct path to the ball, hands stay tight throughout swing, can continue to implement additional lower half into swing but already able to impact the ball with some authority to the pull side and middle part of the field when on time. Very good student.
