re: MLB pitcher throwing to HS batters

Is the MLB pitcher named? Who is it? Sorry if that's a dumb question.

Not a dumb question. It matters. At my peak? I'd say yes. I'm a lefty and would hit against a tall lefty that threw 96-97 and was a 2nd round draft pick when he was in and training. Never made it to MLB though.

He picked me because I owned him as a 9th grader when he was a senior. Went at the top of the 2nd round to St. Louis. Went 4-4 with 2 HR's with a double and triple against him.


ETA-but current pitchers like Skenes and others seem to have filthier shite than the best guys back in the day. I don't know what a 105 mph fastball looks like.
I was recruited in the early 90's by Arkansas, LSU and MState so I think I could get a bat on the ball. Hitting it solid would be a different story. I would've like to have stood in against an elite MLB pitcher back then just to see what it looked like up close. I hit against some retired guys that were well past their prime at some camps, but no one I'd ever heard of until then.
