Baseball Recruit from CenLa

If he's throwing upper 80s consistently he's in good shape. There is work to be done with his mechanics, especially in the finish. He drives well with his legs and gets his hip through quickly enough and has a little natural wrist action that helps his velocity. When he learns to reach out and finish he will become even more consistent and add 2-3 mph. He's a good one to keep an eye on. I like the idea of him going to LSUe and having a chance to pitch a ton.

Yeah he's on the watch list for draft picks this year coming from Louisiana (list includes people from college too). I spoke with his mom who said he had scouts come watch him and bring him out to eat, but after arguing with an umpire and being ejected, they shied away (rightfully so). Buuuttt, in his last 30 innings pitching, only 3 runs have been scored (one on an error). He isn't just a pitcher though, as he's their clean-up hitter with high BA and double digit home runs this year.
