Uncommitted Spotlight: Velo Jump Has Herron Thinking Bigger

Noah Herron RHP / Brunswick, OH / 2019

BRUNSWICK - A year ago, Noah Herron was throwing a 75-78 mph fastball. His college baseball outlook was low.

But things have changed for the Brunswick junior, whose velo is now in the 82-84 mph range.

“I went to a PBR Warhawks Scout Day and felt the ball coming out of my arm well,” Herron explained about a recent clocking of 84 on the radar. “I trained a lot this offseason with a pitching coach at Oberlin (Connor Faix, who is now coaching at North Iowa Area Community College). We figured out an arm path that would make me more efficient and that’s helped a lot.”

Eastern Michigan, Lake Erie and Ashland are colleges the 6-0 170-pound right-hander has been in contact with of late.

“Before last summer I hit a big growth spurt,” Herron reflected. “I started working on my strength after summer ended along with working with Connor. All that combined to help out.”

It has given Herron a new perspective on college baseball.
