PBR Future Games Preview: 2018 RHP/OF James Balogh





By Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting 

On August 4th through August 6th, PBR Pennsylvania will take a select team of players in the Classes of 2018 and 2019 to represent Pennsylvania at the PBR Future Games at Grand Park in Indianapolis, IN.

Players receive exposure unlike any other event for underclassmen. Last year, more than 130 colleges from all over the country were in attendance, including coaches from every Division I power conference in the nation. Only players who have a legitimate shot at being a Division I recruit and who have an interest in the possibility of making a verbal commitment during their sophomore or junior seasons have been considered.

TEAM PENNSYLVANIA SPOTLIGHT: 2018 RHP/OF James Balogh

James BaloghName: James Balogh
Position: RHP/OF

State Ranking: 44
Height/Weight: 5-foot-11, 160-pounds
High School: Pocono Mountain East
Summer Team(s): D1 Renegades

Most Recent Showcase/In-Game Performances: 
Date: 7/20/16

Scouting Report: 
Athletic 5-foot-11, 160-pounder with loose, clean arm action. Gathers over rubber well, while upright finish, at times, led to inconsistencies in release point and command on this day. Stuff was down a tick from when we last saw him. Fastball sat 81-83 with occasional late, hard armside action. Curveball at 65-67 flashed late slurvy action, but was inconsistent, while change-up checked in at 68-70. Still expect athleticism and arm action to lead to a velocity jump at some point.
