LHP Chad
Girodo, Mississippi State -- The talented left-handed pitcher had just a
5.87 ERA for the Bulldogs this past spring, but really blossomed this summer
with a strong showing. He made 16 appearances and had a 0.99 ERA in 27 1/3
innings. He also struck out 44 and walked three http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=7522
Kyle Zimmer has been with the Kane County
Cougars for less than three weeks, but he’s already making a big impression. Following
his last start on Friday, Aug. 10 — a three-hit, 10-strikeout performance in
6.2 innings against the Clinton LumberKings — Zimmer endured a two-plus hour bus
ride with his team back to Geneva, Ill. His next start will come five days
later, and there’s much work to be done before then. The day after Zimmer
pitches is no walk in the park. He’ll wake up around 8 a.m. and head to the gym
for a two-hour workout, which consists of anything from core to legs to
conditioning. Then he’ll get some food and go to the ballpark around 1:30 to
get his shoulder work in. Then he’ll throw. Then he’ll run. Then he’ll do more
core work before shagging balls during team batting practice. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=7534

Prep Baseball
Report - IL: Keaton Wright,
a LHH corner infielder from Triad HS, commits to SIU-Edwardsville. Wright led
Triad to a 4th place finish in Class 3A
Frankie Piliere - Andrew Thurman out of UC Irvine had excellent stuff
for YD tonight. 90-93, up to 94 and breaking ball was a weapon… Velo recap of
Game 1 of the CCBL championship. Kendall Graveman -
87-89, 90, Andrew Thurman 90-93, 94, Holder
89-90 & Suggs at 96-97…
Aaron Fitt - He was
the best I've ever seen him (Suggs). Nothing below 96, his best velo of the
summer & this is 3rd day in a row he's worked
Matt Garrioch - Rob Kaminsky has a plus curve right now. 72 with great
shape, tight spin… Kaminsky not showing great command but consistently 91-93.
Not as good as at PG National. Still easy 1st rounder. Curve up to 79 there… Rowdy Tellez has zero chance of playing anything other
than 1B. Body concerns me. Plus power potential displayed at PG National… Oscar Mercado needs to become more physical but is a
great defender… Kohl Stewart is exciting but
he's a thrower right now… Zack Collins looks
like a hell of a hitter. I don't have a good feel for his D behind the dish
though…
Bleday topped out at 87mph on
the mound to lead a promising group of 15 pitchers who toed the rubber at the
event. His 76mph curveball and 80mph change up were equally as impressive. Blaise McCarty (Riverside), the No. 55 ranked player
in the Class of 2013, topped out at 85mph in his bullpen session. McCarty added
a 74mph change up and a 70mph curveball to his arsenal. Matt Rafferty (Seneca Valley), Class of 2014, displayed an array of
impressive pitches including an 81mph fastball, a 68mph change up and a 74mph
cutter that was one of the nastiest pitches of the day. Nathan Neiderhiser (Bishop McCort), Class of 2014, showed a great
deal of polish for a pitcher of his age. Niederhiser topped out at 81mph with a
70mph change up and a 69mph curveball from the left side. Lastly, Matthew Yough (Karns City), Class of 2015, displayed a
great deal of promise. The young right hander displayed solid mechanics and a
deceptive delivery. http://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/PA/Wrap-Up-From-Western-PA-Top-Prospect-Showcase-3619475280
