Radar Convention in Cleveland Tonight

[BackyardLegend]

If you were traveling through Bradley County tonight, you probably could've exceeded the speed limit without much worry. That was because all the radar guns seemed to be at Cleveland High tonight for the Cleveland-Ooltewah game.

 

No less than 10-12 scouts from major league teams were present to watch Cleveland High's ace Blake Carver pitch. He didn't disappoint those in attendance. He only allowed 1 hit and no runs in 3 innings of work. He did not pitch more due to the fact that district play starts next Monday and they need him to pitch in one of those games.

 

In case your wondering, Cleveland won the contest 6-2.

 

It's amazing how fast news travels. Once a pro team gets on someone, it's not long before all the teams are lookin' at a prospect. The Yankees, Braves, Cubs, and Pirates were just a few of the teams that were in attendance.

 

They had Blake clocked consistantly at 87mph. Throw in a curve ball that seemed to fall off the table tonight, the scouts were nothing less than impressed the southpaw.

 

Blake's popularity among pro scouts can do nothing but help others, from both squads, trying to showcase their talent. One scout was seen clocking Cleveland's second pitcher Jon Koch. I hope others will benefit from the opportunity that is provided.

 

As great of a pitcher that Blake Carver is, He is an even better person. His faith in God and his love for his family is a great testimony. He is very humble, but he's confident in the abilities that God has blessed him with in baseball. The sky is the limit for how far baseball will carry Blake. Anyone that knows or meets Blake can't do anything but hope that the University of Georgia signee succeeds in baseball.

 

So, the next time you hear Blake Carver is pitchin'...Just put the pedal to the metal because all the radar guns will be in use!

 

Good luck to the Raiders and to Blake this year!

My boy Kyler Burke smashed a double off the right field wall off of Blake Carver. But you're right, he pitched well. Good luck to him!

[Guesswho?]

I love Carver, but I hope he stays under 90 mph this year... I want to win!

Has Carver really closed for the Braves?!?

[curlyfry]

yeah he has..... ...not

[vballer14]

Yeah, I didn't think that he had. But, I saw on here that he had and I was just wondering. Thanks though for the response.
