Slagle 82-85

Paschal 84-87

three leftys that throw low to mid 80's as well, so watch out for this team.

 

Lol, all these guys must be transfers or were hurt last year. They can hit but their pitching is average at best. dont kid your self.

Actually, you can go look at some of these kid's profiles on perfectgame.org, and they are throwing these speeds. That said, you can also view the JC coach's outlook he wrote on TBCA.org, and there are some lofty ERAs (last year's)among those +80mph arms. You still have to locate and change speeds to be effective. I'm not saying these kids are not that good, as I haven't seen any of them. But I did see Oak Ridge's ace, Jordan Lane, throwing +85 (had the gun on him, so I know) this past weekend during a scrimmage, and one of JC's district rivals, Cocke County, had kids that pulled that 85mph for doubles in the gaps. He was having trouble early on locating the off-speed due to 20-30mph winds, and tried blowing his fastball by them. Four hits and 3 ERs later, he decided he'd try harder to get the changeup working ,then he shut them down. Still, I'd be like any other coach or scout and take these strong arms and "coach 'em" until they could locate and developed an effective off-speed. It's hard to teach speed.

FarragutU still remembers watching a JV game vs Jeff Co. in '06 where FarragutU's JV won 26-2. Funny how fast a program can find 8 studs who throw 85+. FarragutU knows though that it doesn't matter how fast you throw if you can't throw strikes.

What happened to all this great pitching for JC? Doesn't appear to have held runs down past weekend. With that kind of gas, should blowing teams away.
