He does need a faster fast ball, he's 6'3" but only about 175. The coaches have been trying to get him in the weight room but after a couple of weeks he stops. He told he in 10th grade that he wanted to be an Electrical Engineer and knew that he could only go so far in Baseball. We went to a couple of Div 3 schools where the coaches like him, but he fell in love with Clemson when he went there. He has been accepted to 11 out of 12 colleges so far (as an Electrical Engineer), some giving him partial scholarships (academic). He is one smart pitcher, every fast ball is low and he works it inside and out, he knows some kids will climb the ladder so he trys that also.
Any way, Clemson has good club and intramural ball. Clemson Varsity is top notch ball. He said maybe when I'm a senior and put on weight and the coaches discover him, he could get in one inning as a relief pitcher, sorta like Rudy. He's a realist

Their number 3 hitter stuck out his first time up, then hit a weak dribbler to first, then waited and roped a double to left. the 4 and 5 never touched him, 7 and 8 hit texas leaguers. Kids in high school are fast ball hitters and he eats them up. Pitch selection is so important and most kids don't have the patience
