MOUNTAIN VISTA 11, CHATFIELD 5 (4.4)
2022 RHP Christian Foutch, Chatfield HS (Arkansas commit)
Christian is an athletic RHP with a great pitcher's body and an outstanding right arm. His fast ball has some boring action and he maintained velocity throughout at 91-93 touching 94. He has an over the top east delivery with a slider that sat at around 85-87 , and a devastating split finger that stayed between 82-85 with sharp, late breaking action, depth and good vertical movement. The split is an outstanding swing and miss pitch. Christian has the command to throw all three pitches for strikes and attacks the strike zone. His ability to throw with velocity and then to have plus a breaking ball which should provide him an opportunity for great success at the next level. A clean delivery and repeatable mechanics should are a plus.

Tyler demonstrates the ability to be an offensive force. He can hit with power to all fields, has excellent plate discipline and an advanced approach at the plate. On this day, he had the opportunity to demonstrate that he can handle pitches up in the strike zone, down in the strike zone and to control the barrel with balls on both sides of the plate.

BRIGHTON 7, LEGEND 6 (4.7)
Brighton and Legend matched up in a very intense and competitive game. 2023 RHP Brok Eddy, Brighton (Arizona State commit) was impressive in his start despite pitching in 20mph headwinds. Eddy went 6 innings giving up 3R. He has the ability to pound the zone with all of his pitches. FB ranged from 84-86 most of the day and touched 88. Has ASR that creates ground balls vs RHH. He is very consistent in locating his FB on the outer half of the plate. His CB 72-75 is a dominant pitch. 12/6 with a late break and appears to have 2 separate gears. Brok’s overall development continues with strength and maturity. Would consider Brok Eddy one of the top pitchers in the State of Colorado!
