That's Houston Memorial, not PA Memorial. The same school where Koby Clemens attended a few years ago.

I had the privlage to work with this young man at baseball USA all last year and see him play, and I have never seen a better pure high school hitter from both sides of the plate plus he has a cannon of an arm.  he was suppost to go to texas a&m but i dont think he will ever see olson field.  Even better about this young man is he work ethic, he would be in the cages for hours and hitting for hours and he plays hard and plays with alot of class i never saw him once show up a player coach umpire or fan.  Congrats to a great young man

Agree on all above but he probablly won't ever see a bat unles he goes in the NL. I bet he didn't have a AB in JUCO.

[Critter]

Because he is drafted straight out of HS.....Read first.....And you would've known he didn't even go to JUCO...

Sorry thought we were talking about K Angelle, I did read the scouting report on the Houston boy aweek or so ago.

The Aherns kid from Memorial is the real deal.  Great hitter, above-average arm from SS...I have watched him since he was 13.  And a great family.  His dad, by the way, is the #2 guy over at Baseball USA.

He had signed with A&M and this is a tough loss for the Aggies.
