Farragut and Catapano

[PKnCo42]

I have heard many things about Catapano the lefty pitcher at Farragut. I am just trying to figure out how good he really is and how Farraguts chances are this year at making a state championship run. I know that they are always a top team and always have a good shot at a state championship but ive heard from numberous people that this years Farragut team may not live up to the expectations this year as it has in the past..

If Farragut falls short of recent success it won't be due to Catapano. He was good enough to be the #2 starter on a national top 5 team two years ago. He was good enough to be recruited by a number of major DI schools.

He pitched against us last year in Regionals. He obviousily has velocity on his fastball, but he also has good location. Location is sometimes overlooked be a lot of people. They just care about the speed of the fastball and the break of the curveball. He will definitly find lots of success on the mound for Farraguat, plus a D1 scholarship to go with that.

 

I'm not sure on what Farraguat is bringing back to the table this year. They did great last year after they put us out, I would look for them to make a pretty good run this year. Hitting and Pitching has always been a good key part of their game, I'm not sure how they will hold up on the pitching end after Catapano, but their hitting should be strong.

I saw Rob C. pitch at the Blue / Gray showcase at MTSU 2 years ago. He had all the College and Pro Scouts wanting his contact number. He was hitting low 90's and spotting his curve well. I am sure he will do his part to help Farragut. He also hits well.

He is really good. He was throwing very well in his first scrimmage against Catholic threw 4 shutout innings with 11 k's.. when both ace pitchers left it was 0-0 in the 4th

Rob competed in the 18 yr old perfect game world series as a 17 year old last summer and defeated the highest rated team according to Baseball America, the East Cobb Braves, who had four draftees in their lineup. The Admirals will once again compete with anyone in the state as long as Rob is their ace hurler. In addition, they return a few capable sticks in their lineup and are, as always, well coached. Farragut will, once again, be a state-contender, but not without a knock-down dragout scuffle with teams such as SD, Halls, DB, SH, Jeff. Co who all return great line-ups and aces who are very capable of shutting down hitters on a consistent basis. Should be a fun year.

he is as good as they come. this is coming from a rival team but played with catapano at the perfect game national showcase and he was not touched. great player and even better work effort

[hsfbinsider10]

Best lefty I've seen in TN, no doubt.

who is farragut's number 2? i believe they have a great shot at state this year, but can all their pitchers get it done against the greatest competition when rob isn't on the hill?

[StriperGuy24]

Caddie and Mikey Minor from Forest are the two best pitchers in the state. Rob is a natural. If i could pick anybody that I wanted to pitch in a big game, it would be him. Good friend, and even though he should of signed at Tennessee I wish him the best of Luck an NC

[GradfromtheNest]

It would be tough to choose between Minor and Catapano! I love watching both of these guys work.

Lawson Cheek is number 2, he proved himself last year when he came in relief last year against halls during the region final down 8-0 and held them to one run the rest of the game and let the admirals win 12-9. He has been a very consistent pitcher and pitched today against william blount and won 8-3. Farragut has a pretty deep staff after him as well.
