Blue Grey Tryouts

There was a small turnout at Wofford today for the Blue-Grey tryouts, but Gus Bell was there, the weather was perfect, and the players who showed up all had some good strengths. Wofford has a great facility, too; Gus was so impresssed with the place that he anounced that he intends to have a Blue-Grey Classic there in 2005.

I was impressed with Justin Sarratt, a middle infielder from Gaffney -- anyone know anything about Justin? There was another South Carolina player there who looked really good with the bat, but I didn't get his name.

Brendan Van Popering (Charlotte Catholic, Junior) looked really good; he hit 85 with his fastball, and those who know Brendan know his strengths are his ability to spot the ball and his off-speed stuff. That increased velocity will make Brendan even tougher. Brendan also ran a 7.2 60.

Matt Andress (South Meck, Sophomore) also looked good. He is very strong and really looks like a player already. He is one of several young South Meck guys who will bust out when they get a chance to play at the varsity level.

Did anyone see the Guilford tryout yesterday? If so please give us a report.

 

Did nobody go to Guilford for the Saturday tryout? Come on somebody, give me a report.

And nobody knows Justin Surratt?

Help please!
