6/28/24
Uncommitted. Dominance on Friday morning of the 15u National Championship games with an excellent three pitch mix on full display. Super aggressive, attacked every batter, filled up the zone consistently. FB ran up to 83 but stayed in the low 80’s throughout the outing, 2 sm had late-life with an over the top arm slot. CV was deceptive and thrown methodically, had hitters off balanced and out-front constantly. Lots of pop-fly outs and ground-ball outs. CH sat in the mid to high 70’s with depth, and drop-off, had good feel and control. Flirted with a no-hitter until the bottom of the sixth, final stat line: 7.0 IP // 4 Hits // 1 ER // 4 K’s // 97 Pitches.
