Rash, Mathews up to 90+
Gm # 27 | 4/7/2012 | 3:00 PM Blue vs. Red

Alec Rash (2012 - ADM HS) pitched well for the Red team flashing at fastball at 92-94 MPH.  He also showed some feel for his slider with sharp late break.  Rash threw a couple of change ups at 84 MPH and threw a really good one with sink and run to it.  It shows promise as a third pitch for him.

Calvin Mathews (2012 - Davis County HS) was his usual self even in the sloppy conditions pitching at 88-90 MPH with his fastball.  He threw a lot of strikes considering the deteriorating mound conditions with the rain.  His velocity projects and he's got a loose fast arm action.

Nick Biancalana (2014 - Roosevelt HS) showed good arm strength on the mound pitching at 85-88 MPH.  He struggled with his release point, but with his arm strength and off-speed stuff he's a good young follow for 2014.  

Toran Shahidi (2014 - Ames HS) had a good game at the plate going 2 for 2 with an RBI.  He hit a line drive up the middle off an Alec Rash fastball, and also put a good swing on a Calvin Mathews fastball.  He's got some hitting tools and is a good young player for the 2014 class.
