A pair of highly ranked junior right-handed pitchers highlight the 14 player Grey Team roster. Riverside's Adam Jeanette (right) was a late addition to the roster and is scheduled to toe the rubber on Wednesday. Jeannette sits in the mid-80s and has put together a stellar junior season on the mound that included a no-hitter (7-1, .231 ERA, 36 K, 5 BB). West Virginia RHP/C Philip Hoffman will take to the mound on Tuesday sporting an upper 80s fastball. The No. 1 ranked prospect in the WV Class of 2017 recently registered 18 punchouts in a complete game state semifinal win in helping lead Wahama to a second West Virginia Class A state title in as many years.
Others to Watch:
2017 OF/RHP Hudson Novak (Laurel Highlands) - 6-foot-3, 195-pound two-way prospect put up big offensive numbers this spring showing present power with eight doubles, two triples and five home runs. On the mound Novak went 4-0 with a 0.00 ERA while showing excellent command (30 K, 5 BB).
