  • 17U Wwba National Championship -- Top Pitching Prospects
    17U WWBA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP -- TOP PITCHING PROSPECTS With 110 teams in the event, there was no shortage at all of premium prospects on display in Marietta through the week. Today we’ll take a look at the top 50 2007 pitching prospects. Next up will be the top 50 2007 position prospects, followed by the top 40 underclassmen. There were a number of position players who would potentially make the top 50 pitcher list if they were primary pitchers. Among those were SS Brooks Pinckard (TASBA), OF Junior Gray (Xtra Innings), OF Jeremy Kerley (TASBA), SS J.C. Menna (NJ Twins) and IF Jordan Lucas (EC Braves). 1. LHP Josh Smoker (EC Braves): Now throwing consistently in the low 90’s with the same type of polish he showed as an 86-88 pitcher. 2. RHP Brandon Hamilton (Knoxville Yard): Pro body with present pro stuff. Threw 90-93 with a true mid-80’s slider with good tilt. 3. RHP Jarrod Parker (Summit City Sluggers): The hardest thrower at the 17U championship, Parker touched 95 mph and doesn’t use much effort to do it. 4. RHP Evan Danieli (NJ Twins): Threw 88-92 but more impressively, can spin the ball and repeat his delivery at 6-8. 5. RHP Kyle Blair (Nor Cal): Combines both polish with plus stuff; his curveball was especially impressive at times. 6. RHP Eric Goeddel (Nor Cal): As good as his teammate Blair’s curveball was, Goeddel’s slider was better. 7. LHP Forrest Moore (ABD Bulldogs): Assumes Josh Smoker’s former title as “Best Sub-90’s” pitcher in the class.
