07/27/2012 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition - Session 5 James is a big, thick RHP/1B that will graduate in 2013. Currently, he projects best on the mound for the next level. Delivery is sound / repeatable allowing his arm to work loose / free to the plate. Arm strength is slightly above average as indicated by his top velocity of 81 mph. Fastball shows a range of 77-81 mph on a downhill plane. Breaking ball displays a 12/6 shape with loose spin. Changeup shows fading action. He slows his arm speed on his off speed pitches, tipping off to hitters. Command / control are a plus as he throws strikes with all of his pitches, locating to both sides of the plate. At 1B, feet are active as he works to square balls up and displays clean hands. He needs to develop better footwork around the bag and present hands more out front to continue to improve defensive grade. At the plate, Gorsline shows a balanced approach with rhythm. Hands work inside the ball as he uses all fields. Power grades will improve as he learns to use his lower half more. James has abilities with a lot of room to improve.
