Zach White to Wake......

Sorry..I already tied him up with a contract. Ya gotta be quick to outmaneuver me.

 

Do you think.....

I could get someone to let Will (Class of 2020) commit early?????????

 

^^^^^^^see post above

 

Glad to see Wake getting some of the local talent! Most recently Eli Robins (LHP Glenn 07) and now Zach. I have heard that other local players wanting to join that program!

 

They have

already got verbals from two of the top rated 08 pitchers in the nation in Mac Williamson from Wake Forest Rolesville HS and Daniel Marrs from Va.

 

Daniel Marrs high school teammate Austin Stadler is coming to Wake as well. Shaping up to be a great class.

Congratulations to Zach White and his family

 

In my opinion, the best 2008 pitcher Wake Forest has signed so far is Mike Dimock. They have a great class of pitchers coming in.

 

^^^I hope you are correct, because if Mike is better than Zach, the Deacs are heading to Omaha! It's always about pitching, ya know.

 

Haha, Oh I agree. I'm not at all saying that White isn't good. My last post was meant strictly as a compliment for Dimock.

I got a chance to see White face off against Dimock a couple weeks back at Appalachian when the Dirtbags played the North Carolina Baseball Academy.

These two started on the mound against each other and threw 4 innings each. After the first four innings, Dimock's NCBA team was beating White's Dirtbags 5-1. And also Dimock was probably facing better hitters, as the Dirtbags lineup is more highly touted than NCBA's.

Dimock sat 90-91 the whole way with excellent command of his fastball, curve ball, changeup, and slider. Outside of the Dirtbags top 3 hitters (Hanover, Litwin, Myers) nobody really made solid contact off of him at all.

I'm excited about Wake Forest's pitching staff the next few years.

 

^^Tman, appreciate your response, & I have no doubt you are accurate.

But I'll say this in Zach's defense: He's not a September kind of guy. Instead he's in-season tough: the more he pitches, the nastier his off speed is. His out pitch is not his fastball, although both his 2 & 4 seamers have good movement. It always seems to me that when he's well rested, he works up too much. He's most dangerous when he's grinding.

Again, I'm a Deac fan for sure. A year from now (when my son's team has an off day) I'll be spending alot of time at Ernie Shore field (future home of WFU).
