Notes

6/22/23

McPherson leaves Reed-Custer this year as one of the most decorated athletes in the school’s history. At the plate, he recorded 39 hits, 26 RBI and 7 HRs in 101 ABs. He also slashed .386/.496/.713 on the season. However, McPherson stacked up the accolades and phenomenal performances on the mound. His 0.13 ERA is the second-lowest single-season ERA in Reed-Custer history. Named PBR Pitcher of the Week of 3/27, he tossed the third perfect game in Reed-Custer history vs. Herscher where he struck out 14 batters. On top of that, he fired a no-hitter and two other one-hitters during the season, all while allowing just 1 ER on the year.

4/21/23

Wisconsin-Whitewater commit. McPherson was a big part in helping the Comets go 4-0 on the week. In an Illinois Central Eight game against Lisle, McPherson threw a perfect game (his second no-hitter of the season) on 75 pitches, tallying 14 strikeouts. At the plate, he went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. On the week, he went 5-for-14 (.357) with two home runs, six RBIs, and four runs scored.

Season Stats (Pitching):
3-1 record, 24.0 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.42 WHIP, 48 K, 2 BB, 8 H.

Season Stats (Hitting):
(.422 BA/.509 OBP/1.275 OPS), 4 HR, 11 RBI, 16 R.

Week 3: McPherson was named the Week 3 PBR Illinois Pitcher of the Week after throwing a perfect game where he struck out 14 of the 15 batters faced.

3/31/23

Wisconsin-Whitewater commit. In a 4-2 win over Bishop McNamara, McPherson pitched six shutout innings with 14 strikeouts and two hits allowed. He also tallied a double with a run scored and two stolen bases to help lead Reed-Custer to a win.

RHP Jacob McPherson (Reed-Custer) is in the middle of football season as his high school’s QB1, and yet he was still able to put together a polished ‘pen at this event. The broad-shouldered 6-foot-2, 205-pound athlete is a multi-sport prospect who ran a 6.99 in the 60-yard dash prior to taking the mound. There, McPherson delivered from a long draw out of the glove, working out of a high ¾ slot, and he ran his fastball up to 82.2 mph. McPherson paired it with a sharp 12/6 curveball with tight spin and depth at 68-70 mph, at a 2,280 rpm average spin rate. He also showed a third pitch, a changeup, at 70-74 mph.
