Glad to see Jon thriving in the spotlight finally. Especially happy to hear he has signed to play the next four years. I know his mom and dad are very proud of him as I am. Good luck the rest of the way to Jon.

I agree, he is a good student/person and has great parents!!

From what I've seen in personal games myself.

In no ranked order:

 

Adam Milligan - Hardin Co - good FB, decent stuff but has signed APSU football???????? not sure what he's thinking

 

Jonathan Keck - Lexington - results say enough, great athletic frame, above average FB, has big upside as he hasn't been throwing that long

 

Jon Patterson - Lexington - results say enough as well for jon, but work ethic is best quality as he doesn't have overpowering FB, but pinpoint control

 

Drew Hayes - Mckenzie faces all 1's since he's all they have on the hill consistent, not to mention he tops out at 94 and consistently stays 88-92. His control of all pitches sets him somewhat apart of a few guys.

 

Clayton Gant - USJ - plays for solid program and faces all 1's and 2's, above avg FB, with solid offspeed stuff, and has above avg control

 

Dylan Cupples - Dyer Co - a rough outing or two as of late, but good athletic frame, velocity is ok, not sure about his other stuff tho

 

Michael Panthofer - JCM if he spots up he's great, good curve, but FB tends to be flat, has to spot in order to win

 

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but I'm drawing only ??? here...I'm sorry if I missed some, but if people add I'm sure they'll all come out. Not to mention all the pitchers listed here, I'd be willing to give the ball to on any day, these kids are great representations of the strength of west tenn baseball.

USJ's Spencer Nelson, Class A State Champ MVP and Vol State Signee. Good fastball, excellent deuce and great control. What sets him apart from others is his insatiable appetite for baseball. He lives it and loves it. Heart of a lion on the mound.

Frankly we don`t get much news about Memphis teams in West TN (outside of Shelby County) What high schools are those kids from?
