TOP PERFORMERS TEAM 1

  • One of Team 1’s top all around performances from opening weekend at the Fall Program was RHP/3B Clay Piatt (Granville, 2017). Piatt flashed one of the top fastballs on the day sitting between 82-83 mph. Added a double at the plate late in the 7th inning as well.
  • A few other prospects that recorded hits in game action for Team 1 were Evan Knaus (Boardman, 2018), Bradley Wolfe (Fairfield Union, 2017), and Jared Horner (Ravenna, 2017).
  • Bradley Wolfe (Fairfield Union, 2017) had the most impressive outing on the mound for Team 1. The right handed pitcher sat between 82-84 mph while striking out all three in his inning of work on just nine pitches.
  • OF/LHP Anthony Williams (Grove City, 2017) showed an increased jump in velocity from last years Fall Program. The southpaw consistently sat 79-80 mph while touching 81 mph a few times. His breaking ball also proved tough on hitters as it offered sharp, late break at 67-69 mph.

TOP PERFORMERS TEAM 2

  • Jackson Rudoff (Centennial, 2017) offered a strong all around day in the opening weekend of the Fall Program. Rudoff displayed a 77-78 mph fastball with some late life in the zone, while also spinning a late breaking 65-68 mph slurve. Also added two singles at the plate.
  • Gerald Pintarich (The Linsly School, 2018) and Collin Skufca (Wooster, 2017) both added well struck doubles in game action as Team 2 split the two game series with Team 1. 
  • Starting pitcher for Team 2 Gerald Pintarich (The Linsly School, 2018) came out of the gates in Game 1. Pintarich displayed a good fastball/curveball mix keeping plenty of hitters off balance while striking out 5 in his three innings of work.
  • Dylan Payne (St. Francis DeSales, 2017) also showed success on the mound in his two innings of work. The right handed pitcher mixed speeds effectively and struck out two of the six batters faced.

Team 3 vs Team 4

Top Performers Team 3:

  • Team 3 bats exploded on opening weekend of the Fall Program. Leading the charge was Carter Jones (Springboro, 2017) and Dimitri Bergados (St. Francis DeSales, 2017). Jones recorded three hits in total, one of which being a double. Bergados recorded three hits as well, knocking a single, double, and triple.
  • Dimitri Bergados (St. Francis DeSales, 2017) also showed good feel on the mound. The right hander filled up the zone with his fastball/curveball combo; striking out one as he worked a quick 6th inning for Team 3.
  • Mitchell Perry (Norwalk, 2017), and Bailey Armentrout (Kenton Ridge, 2018) recorded a double during game action as Team 3 swept their series with Team 4 finishing the weekend 2-0.
  • 2017 OF/2B Ryan Shorts of Olentangy Liberty High School showed he is a gamer and gets after the baseball. Shorts plays with advanced foot speed in the field and on the bases and registered a 4.45 home to first time.
  • Two-way player OF/RHP Johnny Condit (Springboro, 2018) had a strong showing for Team 3 Sunday. On the mound, the right handed pitcher used a submarine type pitching style and served as a nice change of pace as he worked a quick 2nd inning. Condit also added a three-hit day for Team 3 including a late 5th inning RBI single that put the game out of reach.

Top Performers Team 4:

  • While Team 4 scuffled as a whole this Sunday, a few prospects stuck out. Josh Brobst (Bishop Watterson, 2018 & younger brother to Ohio State Outfielder Jake Brobst) added a well struck triple at the plate, and also showed some arm strength on the mound sitting 79-81 mph.

  • 2017 RHP/3B Carson Ward (Bloom-Carroll) featured a solid three-pitch mix in his outing Sunday. His 76-78 mph fastball showed arm side run, and his 62-64 mph breaking ball offers some added depth on an 11/5 plane. Also mixed in a 66 mph changeup with fastball arm speed.
  • 2018 C/OF Tanner Radford (Centennial, 2018) recorded pop times between 2.33 and 2.44. Also was clocked running a 4.80 home to first time.
