Pitcher/utility player looking for 16U Travel Team

[ORbaseball]

Player for Oak Ridge High School Varsity looking for 16U team in East TN area to paly this summer. A good pitcher (3.50 ERA, 2-1 this season, with only loss to Kingsport D- with three pitches (curve and split-change to go with fb), good control (67% strikes, only 6 BB in 25 innings), and good efficency (52.6% batters on or out in 3 pitches or less; allows defense to stay in the game). Fastball in mid-upper 70's and getting faster (late bloomer), but location and curves for strikes are his strengths. Also hits well (hitting over 0.500 on JV, 1-1 on varsity), and can play any position in a pinch(also caught for many years with Thunder Baseball travel team). Not looking to play every game or displace anyone else on a team, just looking to help out a team where we can and get some more reps. Email me at robert.roberts@ametek.com. We know it's late, but finances are not an issue; willing to contribute more than fair share of $$ if right opportunity presents itself.

Unless your name in Jordan Lane there isn't anyone on OR that can throw mid-upper 70's.

No, it's Rob Roberts (in case you can't get that from the email), Connor Robert's dad, and bring your radar gun and betting money. Just so you know, Lane hit 86 on Memphis coaches gun at AC game, Freshman Kevin Steen hit 86 on Sevier County's gun, Sophomore Reid Elwood hit 82 at Dobbins-Bennet, and Senior Jake McLaughlin hits 81-82 routinely. It's not speed that matters anyway, it's location, change in speed and movement. HVA beat us 4 times this year with fastballs that never touched 80mph, yet we beat Durand, Beeler, and other faster pitching. Also, I don't reply on your posts acting like a hater, so chill out. We're just looking for some extra playing time, not trying to build hype to get a scholarship. Also, Connor came in at the end of the elimination game in the 3AAA District Championship and pitched 3 scoreless innings agaist HVA last night to keep us in the game; they were hoping to save him for the championship game today, but had to bring him in 'cause he always competes and throws strikes. He's the slowest varsity pitcher on our varsity...but not for long.

Would you be willing to travel to Chattanooga? We have a 15-16 year old team that needs one more player. It would be in a "pick up" type capacity. It would be full time, but we work with families if you have other things planned. You can send me an email at rustonpierce@gmail.com
