JUCO Fall Notebook: Midwest

Players listed below from the following programs: South Mountain, Central Arizona, Scottsdale CC, Arizona Western, Chandler-Gilbert, Mineral Area CC, Crowder College, Fort Scott CC, Hutchinson CC, Cowley College, Connors State.

Drew Hill, rhp, South Mountain (TCU commit) – A transfer from Utah Valley, Hill’s name popped up early in the spring as a righthander with some velocity and a quality breaking ball. In this look, Hill only threw one inning in an intrasquad game, but pumped 93-94 mph fastballs to both sides of the plate with a quick arm. Very soon after that, Hill was up to a confirmed 97 mph with his fastball to go along with a swing-and-miss slider and has since signed with TCU.

Toren Craig, ss, South Mountain (Long Beach State commit) – One of the better middle infield defenders in the country, Craig’s is a glove-first profile but one that will be an asset both to South Mountain this spring as well as LBSU in the future. Light on his feet with range, hands, and balance, Craig can make all the plays and has enough arm for the left side as well to go along with an above average run tool.

Lucas Knowles, lhp, Central Arizona (Kentucky commit) – A transfer from the University of Washington who pitched in the 2018 College World Series, Knowles transferred to Central Arizona during the summer and was very quickly scooped up by Kentucky. A lefthander with athleticism and ease of operation, Knowles worked 87-89 mph in this look, working downhill with sink to both sides of the plate, mixing in an average slider and quality changeup as well to round out his arsenal.
