PBR Fall Showcase Player Spotlight: Dane Petersen
September 15, 2018
This fall, we will be taking a closer look at each member of the PBR Fall Showcase Team, known as the Appalachian Aces. Today we highlight 2019 RHP Dane Petersen (Ripley), who is currently Uncommitted.
Kuykendall on Petersen: "Dane knows how to pitch. He has a smooth easy motion and can throw 3 pitches for strikes at any time. More importantly, he gets guys out. His projectable frame, and wiry build, make him a guy that has a high ceiling. I project him to be a valuable asset to any college program."
