A little about Brad Roland! Swain RHP 2008

Hgt: 6'2 Wgt: 165

FB MPH: have seen 87-88 cruises 84-86
Has a solid curveball and has developed a nice changeup.
Lean, muscle build
Clean, fluid delivery and makes throwing 87 look effortless! Mechanics are flawless.
Solid student, during fall baseball was carrying above a 3.0, I haven't had to ask him after that. This is a plus young man, respectful and good natured, I have told many coaches thru emails and conversations, that I believe 90 or better is in there with some added weight and work. Kid can throw a football 70 yards.

College coaches can check their old emails, I sent this exact bio to about 50 of them during the fall to invite them out to our games.

Anyone would like his contact info, please feel free to PM me and I will send it back to you.

 

Keep us posted on the interest and his continued success. This is a great resource for exposure and it's a great time as some college coaches are free and active to recruit.

 

What grade is he in? What are his summer plans?

 

BR.....

2008 HS Senior, my apologies, I took it forgranted in the title.

Summer plans, I honestly don't know, but I know he will be working at his family's diner, 5 or 6 mornings a week.

 

Sorry Kevin11 you took for granted that I could read just because I was on TBR. I looked 4 times and could not see 2008 that was written so clear.

Sorry.

Good luck to you guys in the playoffs. How many of your Swain boys are going to be able to play legion ball in Hendersonville this summer? I have enjoyed having Justin Crawley and Chris White over here. They are both fine young men. I hope Chris comes back this year and brings some boys with him.

My son is too old to play this year but I will be out there cheering them on.

 

...I get that all the time. I found that being honest about my edmucashun serves me well.

just kiddin' with ya niknat

 

I was edumacated in Sacalina too you know.

 

Kindred souls, my freind

 

So I heard a rumor that Brad hit right around 90 the other night in that great game at West Henderson. Is there any truth behind this Kevin or is a rumor about all it is?

 

I would have to wager a guess........

I honestly don't know, but I told someone in my opinion 87-88 was what I would have guessed. He has always thrown hard, but now his secondary pitches have gotten better.

Gaining a little weight in college and more strength, 90+ is definitely a possibility and who knows my estimates could be off from the other night, but I would safely say 87-88.
