08/04/2010 - College Prep Super Regional - Middletown, CT - PM Gerard is a thin, athletic, 1st baseman / LHP who currently projects better in the INF. Defensively, Gerard has loose actions, good hands and feet, and he fields the ball out in front of his body. He makes plays on balls hit his way and throws accurately with some life to his target. Defensive grades can get better if Gerard can quicken his feet and add arm strength. On the mound, Gerard has a smooth, fluid delivery, which he repeats well. He pitches to contact and keeps his CB down in the zone. Improved command and more finish and extension on his pitches should help mound effectiveness further improve. Offensively, Gerard has good balance, a nice set-up, and he takes a strong / aggressive swing. He has good barrel accuracy, and can drive the ball to the opposite field. Gerard can improve offensively if he can keep his swing short and tap into more lower 1/2.
