He is a pitcher, first base and third base. Because of the big senior class he plays mostly on JV, where he can get the most rotaions at pitching. He has moved up and down all season long from varsity to soph., will play at any level just so he can play, not a selfish person. He loves to play baseball. Don't know his exact stats on JV or varsity. A very good and well mannerd kid. About 6'1" and around 195, a fast ball that is very lively and steady at 82-84 mph. Been clocked at Field of Dreams in Houston as high as 88 mph in a game, a good slider, and a curve ball to die for. For some reason he did not bat early in the season. In the past few games (don't know actual stats) batting in the .600 range. Give or take. I have not made 100% of the games in 21-3a but the ones I have made he is one of the best. But sense you put a criteria on it, this is JMO. But who nitpicks anyway?
Are you telling me that Silsbee has a freshman that throws between 82-84 and he pitches for the JV? I have a hard time believeing this.
Well, believe it. As stated before, Silsbee has 3 or 4 pitchers all trying to get pitching time in with two games a week. It's pretty crowed there. So this young player pitches where ever he can get the most reps. This is just how the coach wants it.
Ive had the opportunity to keep up with Silsbee over the last few years and I don't think a freshman throwing in the low to mid 80's would pitch on the JV. Is he wild or something? Do you realize how hard 80 is? I know that the Skinner kid throws around 85 and I remember Schooling throwing in the high 70's and low 80's. What about the Chambers kid from a few years back? Wasn't he a low 80's guy? That would mean this kid throws just as hard. If it's true then Silsbee should be pretty dang good over the next 3 years. Hopefully I will make a game that he pitches in.
