Uncommitted. Game 2 of this region match up was a big one, and Joiner got the ball against a fellow lefty. After the 1st he really settled in and started filling up the zone. The fastball was 83-85 with some arm side run and sink. Once he found the feel for the curveball he started to find his grove. He forced contact, and despite giving up a couple hits he still attacked hitters and left the game in the 5th with the lead. Joiner will be a good follow headed into the summer as he is one of the top uncommitted arms in the junior class.
