2015 Recruiting Class

Basil, I have to admit when I saw some of this kids stats and just his delivery, I wasn't impressed. I'm sure the coaches know what they are doing but i'd be interested in what they saw.

That being said, I was told he threw a no-hitter a couple days ago. That's pretty impressive....

I go back and forth on no-hitters in high school. In high school, you really only need to get through two, maybe three, hitters to have a shot at a no-hitter. He has a good high school curveball, if that was working on a day he could do some damage.

Soft lefties that live on the outside can give right handed heavy teams a lot of problems when the team hasn't seen the soft lefty that lives on the outside corner before.

The kids a good player, no doubt. But I see him to be a DII or JUCO guy. Hope he proves me wrong.
 

Nothing to add, but want to chime in that I enjoy the info and commentary on the prospects. Looks like the beginnings of another good class to follow up 2014's.

If the plan is to use the kid out of the bullpen, he doesn't have the typical lefty specialist package. You typically want a hard slider with change up. He has neither pitch according to his film. At 82 mph without a dominate off speed pitch, I'm not sure what value he brings. That curveball looks like it wants to be 12/6, but it isn't there; it will struggle staying in college strike zones.

Might be the pitching coach sees some potential and thinks he can help correct the kid's shortcomings. Just cuz a kid isn't ready in HS doesn't mean he can't improve.

I wonder if Coach Esrstad is looking at any pitchers from Japan or Hawaii like Shane Komine? Could use an Ace like him!
