On Friday and Saturday, Clarksville HS hosted games as part of the PBR KY-TN Challenge.  We were on site for all 7 games that occurred at the site, which saw Clarksville go 3-0 and had at least 1 game looks at 7 other teams.  Below, read up on a whopping 45 players from the event:

NICK JAMES / LHP / CLARKSVILLE, TN / 2019

FB (86-89, T91, T90 twice), CB (73-77)

-          3.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K

North Carolina commit showed an electric 2-pitch mix.  6-0, 195-pound lefty features a medium, athletic frame w/ present lower half strength, some physical projection.  Pitches from a full wind-up into ¾ to H ¾ release from the third base side of the rubber.  Learning to get his arm consistently on-time, will have times where it lags behind or works too quickly, causing him to miss to his arm-side.  High-effort delivery w/ super quick arm.  Angle.  FB shows short arm-side run.  Gets on you as a hitter.  CB was consistently above average on this day, generated 5 swing and misses on 7 swings.  Tight medium downer w/ late bite, above average depth.  Put-away pitch.  Around the zone with his 2-pitch mix.  Sprayed a bit with the FB, but 8 of 10 CB’s were strikes.  Flashes ability to paint at the knees with the FB.  Projects to command.
