PBR Florida‏ @PBRFlorida  -   2017 RHP AJ Labas of Trinity Christian Academy sat 91-93 FB, 81-82 CH, 77-78 SL in the 1st. Settling in at 89-91

 PG - 2016 National Showcase   Jun 15, 2016 - PG Grade: 10 - AJ Labas is a 2017 RHP/1B with a 6-3 220 lb. frame from Middleburg, FL who attends Trinity Christian Academy. Extra big and strong build, looks like a college linebacker. High energy delivery that he repeats very well, high elbow in back, arm is fast and clean coming through from a high 3/4's slot. Steady 89-91 mph fastball, gets a bit of late life to get off barrels and has good downhill angle. Slurve type breaking ball has very tight spin at times with sharp biting action, showed feel and command of the pitch and was plus at times. Did not show a change up this outing but will be very interesting if he can develop one with his present fastball/curveball combination. Good student, verbal commitment to North Florida.
