With Del Norte’s season hanging in the balance, Hoffman delivered a composed and dominant complete-game effort in an elimination playoff matchup, allowing just one unearned run over seven innings to keep the Nighthawks' postseason hopes alive. In a pressure-packed environment, Hoffman showcased veteran-level poise, sharp command, and the kind of grit that defines playoff baseball. He set the tone early, working 84-86 mph with his fastball and touching 87 in the first few frames. As the game wore on, Hoffman held steady in the 82-83 range. He relied on a well-rounded three-pitch mix that kept hitters guessing throughout. Hoffman’s offspeed offerings — a 68-69 mph curveball with gradual depth and a 76-77 mph slider with sharper bite — gave him multiple looks to work with. The slider, in particular, became a go-to pitch as the game progressed. He used it effectively to backdoor right-handers, induce weak ground balls, and miss barrels in key situations. His sequencing was mature, and he mixed speeds with intent, rarely falling into predictable patterns. The senior didn’t rack up high strikeout numbers (2), but he didn’t need to. He pitched to contact and trusted his defense, generating a steady stream of ground balls and soft contact. He finished the game with just 82 pitches, an incredibly efficient mark considering the stakes and pressure. When runners did reach, he stayed composed and made pitches, stranding multiple baserunners and showing toughness with RISP. This outing capped what’s been a standout season for Hoffman. He now owns a 6-1 record with a 1.05 ERA, and he’s done it with consistency and pitchability more than raw power. In a do-or-die setting, he gave Del Norte exactly what they needed: a composed, efficient outing that kept them alive to see another day. Though Hoffman also contributes as an outfielder, his value on the mound continues to shine through. His ability to mix pitches, compete in the zone, and handle pressure gives him the profile of a true gamer.
