Harrison Central’s Brendan Hardy (RD 31/PK 920) will be
signing his minor league contract with the New York Mets tomorrow in Port St.
Lucie, FL. He’ll be foregoing his original commitment with JCJC to chase the
dream

RHP Brendan Hardy -
R/R, 12/15/99 - Harrison Central HS - 6'4", 190
Hardy played the infield in shortstop in high school but the
Mets announced him as a pitcher. Hardy struck out 69 out of the 240 guys he
faced on the mound. The Mets will likely need to go
over slot to get a deal done with him.
Per tweet, around 88 w/ Fastball, and breaker in the mid to
high 70s. - Tickled 90 at one Perfect Game event
Hardy says he will make his decision today - "Hardy
previously signed to play collegiately at Jones County JC, said he's
"50/50" on whether or not he will sign to play professionally, and
will make a decision by Thursday. However, the former Red Rebel is grateful to
even be considering a professional baseball career."

"I
just want to thank God, especially," Hardy said. "Thank God and my
parents. (Also) my teammates played a big part in it because they were just
like family. That was my second family. I'm an only child, so they were my
brothers, and they just always supported me no matter what."

Nice pick of high schooler Hardy in Round 31.
