93-94 touching multiple 95s and 98 once on multiple guns. Slider was 78-80
2016 National Showcase
Jun 15, 2016 - PG Grade: 10 - Joseph Perez is a 2017 3B/1B/RHP with a
6-3 205 lb. frame from Pembroke Pines, FL who attends Archbishop Edward
McCarthy HS. Big and strong athletic build, pretty mature physically. Right
handed hitter, took an outstanding BP, showed big bat speed and raw pull power,
used his lower half very well, ball explodes off the bat. Swings were more
tentative in the games without the same aggressiveness and bat speed. Big arm
strength at third base, stays balanced well and fields the ball out front, also
plays first base. Potential primary pitcher in the future, has limited present
experience on the mound. Shows big arm strength from a high energy delivery,
big downhill plane to the plate, fastball topped out at 96 mph early before
settling down. Slider flashed big vertical depth at times. Power arm with a
power bat. Good student, verbal commitment to South Florida.
Tulane senior C Jeremy Montalbano had surgery to repair a torn
ligament in ankle & a plate inserted where he broke his fibula on play at
plate Sun
Nola.com:
- When injuries left the Green Wave shorthanded in the bullpen last season,
Montalbano threw seven innings of relief during the year to help his team out. But
his foray onto the mound was quickly brought to an end when Montalbano suffered
an elbow injury that would require him to undergo Tommy John surgery during the
offseason.
The redshirt senior has gone through a rigorous process to
get his arm back in shape and prepared for the season, and though Tommy John
surgery usually results in pitchers missing an entire year, Montalbano said he
expects to be "a full-go" when the Green Wave opens the season on
Feb. 17 against Army.
D1 Baseball - Jared Poche once again was thrust into the
spotlight this past weekend in Houston. LSU heralded righty Alex Lange didn’t
have a great start against TCU and the Tigers had to go to their bullpen early
in the game. Therefore, they desperately needed a strong start from the
Lutcher, La., native in the second game against Baylor. He didn’t disappoint. He
struck out five, didn’t walk anyone and allowed just three hits in seven
shutout innings. For the season, Poche has now thrown 22 innings and
surrendered just four hits.
South Carolina closer Tyler Johnson to miss some time with arm soreness.
Perfect
Game - PG Grade: 8.5 - Tyler Johnson is a 2014 RHP/OF with a 6-2 170 lb. frame
from Midlothian, VA who attends Trinity Episcopal School. Tall lean athletic
build, very projectable body, good pitcher's build. Pitches from a three
quarter arm slot, long loose arm action, good extension out front, long in
back. Has a slight wrap early in the backside of his arm action but works
through it easily with quick loose arm. Offline to 1B side of the rubber,
better direction should add velocity to fastball in addition to physical
projection. Maintains arm speed well on changeup, changeup is plus at times but
lacks consistency at this point. Curveball flashes bite and throws it for
strikes. Throws a lot of strikes, has an idea how to pitch. Has some flaws but
when he cleans them up he has a chance to become a very high level prospect at
the next level, impressive raw tools. Solid hitter and OF as well but upside is
on the mound. Very good student. Verbal to South Carolina.
