I hope your right, but was clocked with a fastball of just around 82 mph as recently as July 5th. Granted, it appears he has a somewhat funky delivery which could give batters problems.

Perhaps a diamond in the rough but certainly not very highly rated.

Well, I learned that he grew 7 inches in 3 months in 2012. So that's pretty impressive...

I also found elsewhere that he committed to Richmond in October 2012, which coincidentally was when he had the world record growth spurt. At that pace, I'm sure they expected him to be about 7'6" by December.

Kevin Steen's coach had this to say about Steen:

"He throws a two-seam and four-seam fastball, and both have movement. I heard from a couple of reliable sources over the summer that he's consistently touching 90 mph."

In addition to pitching, he plays SS, 1B and outfield. "If he does the right thing, he'll play every inning of every game for us."

Marshall, Air Force, College of Charleston and UAB had offered Steen.

He's also a standout basketball player for Oak Ridge.

With Serrano as our head coach I will happily take a senior in high school that is consistently hitting 90 and let CDS work on his off speed stuff

Eric Freeman will make an impact at UT. A walk on from Farragut ('13) who missed the last half of his Jr and entire Sr year for Tommy John surgery. He has size (6'5") and was throwing 90 before his injury.

Daniel Vasquez is a 2015 OF with a 5-10 170 lb. frame from El Cajon, CA who attends Granite Hills HS. Medium frame, athletic build. Bat really stood out, direct hand path, hard line drive contact, aggressive swing with quick hands. Potential to develop power over time, contact oriented approach at present, good bat speed, can make adjustments to generate more power over the next few years. Short arm action on throws from outfield, clean defensive actions, sound footwork. Simple delivery, fastball up to 85 mph, good depth on slider, mixes four pitches well, good feel for pitching for a primary position player, may develop enough on mound to be a possible two-way player at the college level. Excellent student.
