The Sr. Lefty got the start against a good Prosper lineup. He battled through some tough situations and gave his team a chance to win. His fastball sat in the 81-85 mph range. He showed a feel for an over the top 12-6 CB and a CH. They both registered in the mid 70’s. The Murray State signee still has plenty of projection and room for strength, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he had another velo spike in college.
