Apparently we recently picked up another JUCO pitcher commit.

Hunter Kiel from Pensacola State CC in Florida. LINK It's pretty far down the link.

quote:

---

A 6-foot-3, 214-pound right-handed pitcher with a strong, athletic, durable frame. Long arm action with a stab and wrap on the backend into a high-3/4 release, lightning arm speed and some effort. Smooth rhythm, level shoulders, and in-line direction. Overall fairly athletic delivery, yet still raw. Fastball sat 90-96 mph with heavy sink and solid control.

ETA: He's struck out 37 people in 27.1 IP this year. But he's also walked 36. His WHIP is only slightly under 2. He's seemingly got some control issues to work through.
