ReelFun, I redact what I posted earlier. I was the plate ump for the game Saturday vs Episcopal and was really impressed. It was my first time working as a plate ump in a Runnels game since 2011 whereas I've seen Tidwell this year, so maybe I was off base with the previous comment. Cartwright located his pitches well, was crafty w/ offspeed stuff and good enough FB pop to succeed at SEC level with continued development. I saw Nola a few times in 2011 and really don't think they are that far apart in terms of stuff and abillity to fill up the zone (based on my small body of work in seeing both at the HS level). Props to a few of the EHS hitters for some good swings. I thought the pitch on the hit that sent the game to extras was well located, the hitter just won that battle. Any chance he sees AB's at LSU? He looked pretty confident in the box. Congrats to you and your son and I look forward to following his career. I may try to make it out to watch Runnels in the playoffs if they are afforded the opportunity to host

Thanks mmill32. I agree that he and Nola are a lot alike in their abilities for throwing strikes. LSU is not big on their pitchers playing the field so IDK if he will ever get to bat. He is a great hitter, even though his numbers are down a little the last couple of years. He lost interest in hitting since he committed to LSU. He is a very good middle infielder, but he would really be an asset in left or right field, he can throw any base or home on the fly. He has only played outfield a few innings in his life. When he was 12 I think, he was playing center field and twice made an 8-3 out. the umpire missed the first one and the crowd went wild. He didn't miss the second one. lol
