Arms were on display for the Royal vs Black matchup. Mitch Keller (2014 - Xavier HS) was impressive in his 2 innings of work pitching at 90-92 MPH with his fastball touching 93 MPH. He also showed an improved curveball at 77 MPH. He will be followed closely by pro scouts all spring.
Jonah Patten (2014 - Ossian, IN) pitched at 88-91 MPH with his fastball and threw a hard curveball at 77 MPH. Good run on his fastball and threw his curveball for strikes.
Michael Peters (2014 - Coal Valley, IL) pitched at 86-89 MPH with his fastball with a quick loose arm action. He threw a couple of hard curveballs at 73 MPH with good depth and spin to them.
Chris Comito Jr. (2015 - Norwalk HS) pitched at 85-88 MPH with his fastball with good running life to it. Located his off speed stuff for strikes. Interesting projectable arm for the 2015 class. Iowa commit.
Drew Denkinger (2015 - WDM Valley HS) pitched at 85-88 MPH with a loose easy arm action. He repeated his delivery well and threw his curveball for strikes. Interesting uncommitted arm for 2015. Projects for more velocity.
Tanner Wood (2015 - Pella HS) had a hit and 2 RBI. He has a smooth left handed stroke with some bat speed.
