Tews is really starting to make a name for himself in the northern California region, Del Oro is off to a good start of the year and the senior ace has been fantastic. I haven’t seen Tews on the mound this year but last week against Monte Vista he was nails and was up to 92 mph. The kid is overall an athlete, from making diving plays in the outfield, to throwing on the mound, or leading the team in offense. His first at bat of the game he laced a double to the left center field gap, a lot of the balls he hits go towards the middle of the field. Tews was the sparkplug that ignited the big seven run inning in the top of the sixth inning, his solo home run to dead center was the start of a massive offensive statement. Seems like its all starting to come together for Tews, he was battling a wrist injury in the past years and has played football too. Tews has a serious shot to make a team better next year as an impact freshman, I tend to see those players who pick one sport after high school even get better. Best of luck to Tews and his DO squad as they will try to make a run to the post season.

Tews is a 25' RHP from Del Oro High School, he isn't in football mode anymore so he can focus on baseball full time now. Standing at 5'11" and weighing in at 194.2lbs, Jack has a lot of upside for athleticsm on the mound. His FB was the 3rd best of the event at 87.9 MPH sitting in the range of 84.9-87.8 MPH. Jack's FB had a Hop+ score of 95 which will play at the next level up in the zone. The 88 looks a lot more firm when standing in the box. The SL sits in the 72-74 MPH with a max spin rate of 2,059 RPM. CH is 78-80 MPH thrown with 94% spin efficiency. The 4th pitch of Jack's arsenal includes a Cutter topping out at 81.1 MPH with a 2,052 RPM. Jack should be one of Del Oro's top arms this year in the SFL.
