I was about to say I thought he was getting pretty close to the bigs.  He's a great pitcher.  What I like about those stats is the 4 walks-30 strikeouts.  That is just amazing.

How long do you think it will be before he reaches the bigs? Some pitchers get there when they're 20...What do yall think for him?

Gradfromthenest, Thanks for your comments! Were you at the game Saturday?

What position does your son play? Appreciate you all coming up to Farragut to play. When you play great competition (like our 2 teams) everyone gets better!

Looking forward to seeing you all again, perhaps in Memphis?

 

Soup, Tell #1 congrats on his 2-for-3 outing against NC State! Looks like he is off and running. We are all proud of him.  thumb  Let him know we appreciate his efforts too when it comes to helping #16.

Gradfromthenest is a young pup! It will be a few years before he has a young one on the field.

Larson is the stud of the group.  By far the #1 man in the rotation.  If I'm not mistaken he throws a fork ball to back up his fastball often which hits the 90s fairly easily.  Don't hold me to that fork ball though...I may be thinking of someone else.  Lockwood is a Strong Left Handed kid who I hope quits playing football and will concentrate on Baseball.  It would be a shame for him to mess up his arm with the potential he has.  He sometimes gets out of control, but Has drastically improved in that area over the years.  Nasty curve as well.  I would say he throws mid to upper 80s.  As for Cody, he was undefeated last year as a sophomore like Catapano.  Granted he didn't face the competition Catapano did but still nonetheless, undefeated as a sophomore is pretty good no matter your competition.  Cody probably throws lower to middle 80s and has some nasty junk.  He puts the ball where it needs to be and is a really smart pitcher.  He stepped up big for Halls early to mid season and became the 3rd man in the rotation.  So, Halls has it's pitching rotation back in tact for this year off last year's runner-up finish.  As I've been saying in other forums, Larson held Farragut to 1 earned run I believe in that championship game that he lost to Minnesota twin Kyle Waldrop 3-1.  It was a tremendous pitching game if you like pitching  thumb

IN your opinion what makes a pitcher great. Im a young kid hoping to get to the point where i can be on here someday. I'm learning to throw the curve and my heat is decent for my age, but only throwin fastballs gets me in trouble against good teams. I'll be in high skool soon with alotta players leavin the squad ill be joining. All i want to know is what makes the best pitchers and how can i get there?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
