Chattahoochee Valley CC commit. Willhide would toe the rubber in a massive Top-5 Power 25 matchup, and it was clear from the start that he was up for the task. Willhide, a fiery competitor, put together a gritty performance to give his team about as massive as a win you're going to get in the regular season. Dialed in from the very beginning he would keep hitters off-balance with a 4-pitch mix. Fastball sat 84-86 T87. Pairing nicely off the fastball was the curveball that was flipped over at 70-73 and created depth. As well as working in a slider at 71-73 and a changeup at 79-82. Willhide would cruise to a complete game while striking out 7 across 7.0 IP of 1-run ball.
