top 10 pitchers

[bisonman]

anyone know where any of these players are looking to go to college, what are some predictions from you guys on where the top 10 players might go...

They all went pro.

[baseball]

good joke...

[nike07]

yea, it was a good one

[baseball]

:up:

i've heard around the school that lorenz might go to nebraska, minnesota, or some northern iowa school, those are the d1s, then theres some d2 schools interested, and a lot of jucos, like iowa western, boone, indian hills i think its called, sounds like nebraska is accually pretty interested in him

[bison_18]

That doesn't surprise me. If you have as big as frame as he does you're gonna get alot of looks. You don't even have to be that great either. Those teams can take a frame like that and make u a good pitcher. It's just the way it is, scouts look for bigger players. I'm not sure how tall lorenz is but i think he's around 6''8'' or so.

[tanner lorenz]

in between 6'6 and 6'7, but yea, great point bison, bigger kids will get more looks by colleges, its just the mentality of todays scouts, for pitchers that is

[spoilers23]

ok im just curious how hard does lorenz throw??  i saw him twice and i've heard 90....he threw alright but i dont think that hard......i think people underestimate how fast 90 really is.

[bison_18]

Well he was clocked at 87 in mandan at the camp there. With a little long toss and some change in mechanics, 90 is in reach.

i believe he was clocked at 91 or 92 down at wayne state or some college like that, it was a camp anyways, and he threw pretty well down at indian hills and nebraska camps from what i hear, 90 is very fast, but sometimes fast looks slower, and slower is really fast, hope that makes a little sense

i think it was more like 89 90, 92 is really pushing it

Fast looks slower?? I don't quite get that.

[baseball]

hes sayin for the on deck circle to the batters box.  It could look slower from on deck then it does at the plate and vice versa.

[tanner lorenz]

yeah, i agree i've seen it where someone looks like their throwing 90, but their only throwing 82, and ive seen someone throw 82 when it looks like their throwing 90

[spoilers23]

to me it always seems slower in the box than it does from the dugout or ondeck circle

[bisonman]

if your release point is 2 feet closer to the plate than the next, same speeds but the pitch will seem faster because you see it less.

that was the difference between lorenz and buxa last year.  they threw close to the same speed lorenz his just a foot taller so hes alot closer to the plate when he releases the ball.

[tanner lorenz]

well, that would mean its faster, because pitch speed is technically measured by speed from release to the plate, so it accually would be faster, it wouldnt be the same pitch speed

[baseball]

stop watch method sure...but what about a radar gun?

[cash]

I have known many scouts that use the stop watch method and it's very accurate if you know how to do it, but, obviously, radar guns are more trusted.

I heard that grafton has a pitcher that can throw 90.  is this true?

[bison_18]

A.K. Klinske was clocked at 87 @ a tryout camp in Mandan in July, so was Lorenz from Harvey.

[ndfootball06]

watched him throw this fall in a league, looked a lot stronger and was throwin straight gas

[baseball11]

Quoted for truth.

Klinske can throw hard no doubt, but sometimes when you as big as he is, the batter is already beat menatlly cause he is scared. I've face A.K a few times since Pee Wee leagues and had some success but the kid is really good. When we faced him this season, he was pitching on two days rest. I hate to face him on a full five or six days rest. Thing is though, if you only have a fastball, you are going to get beat in high school. Unless you throw like 95 or higher.
