i guarantee he can throw 90 on a good day for sure.

Has he ever hit it on a gun?
He threw 87 at a mandan camp and 91 at a wayne state camp...i guess...dont quote me on those numbers...i could be wrong, thats just what i heard on the street

if that's so i don't think anyone will be able to touch him all year, ill be excited to see him throw this spring/summer, should be fun to watch a pitcher throw 90 haha

90 miles an hour is fast but its just a matter of timing and good hitters will be able to make contact.  a few at bats against him and the timing will come and people will have a better chance but thats where his other pitches will help him out.
i hear he has a good changeup....

better than most i would say, but if u throw that hard everyone is gonna get alittle excited and swing early, so if u take any speed off when u can throw that hard its gotta be somewhat effective

Sorry to change topics, but Jason Novacek, great in center field. He is fast, makes all the plays plus most great plays, and has a great, accurate arm.. He also has the bat to go with it..

at catcher? he has such a tough job back there, and he does a great job, him and krahler and lorenz really can call a great game, and last year was rogelstads first year catching for lorenz so im excited to see how it goes after a year of gettin to know each other

i bet rogelstad dont even like catching.....who would wanna catch for lorenz, break ur hand

pretty sure he hates it
Why would he, he's good at it the way it sounds.

anyone can catch the ball if the pitcher puts the ball in the right spot but if its not in the right spot and hits the dirt coming in a 90 miles an hour it does a number on forearms.  usually lorenz throws the ball accurate tho when he brings the heat.

Now Lorenz can throw 90 miles an hour? I can't wait to see this kid throw!

hes a horse on the mound

I watched Midkota's catcher( Quick) last year at Regionals. He was a big part of the reason they went to state. He also was impressive at state. Lakota impressed me also. I heard Midkota has another quick as catcher now and also Travis Duffy. You need to have a smart catcher if you're going to get anywhere in baseball.

well the funny thing with that is that tanner lorenz did hurt himself he pulled a ligment in his arm and is not able to be back to throwin right handed for a couple of weeks. also.. with amazing catchers i heard on the street that there is a kid from harvey that is able to catch a baseball comin 110 mph with a radar gun present plus a coach:dude:..

i thought that common sense would establish that it was most likely a "pitchin machine" throwing the ball

he was more than likely standin about the length of the batting cage which is like.. 50 ft long and caught it more than once i feel that that would be a very difficult challenege and also with a pitchin machine u really have somehwaht of an isea where it is goin but not really.
