Charlotte Catholic
Has some good pitching, not overpowering but get a lot of pop ups. Lefty, Daniel Stewart, has good offspeed stuff but tends to leave his fastball up and out of the strike zone. He is however, one of the best pitchers I've seen this year. They defintley have a home field advantage @ Waddell. I was wondering why their infield was playing "in", almost on the grass, then I realized you are hitting uphill and the infield is really slow. One of the slowest I have ever seen, it also takes time for opposing pitchers to adjust to throwing downhill. Their outfielders are extremely talented and quick, overall a well coached bunch.

 

I completely understand the home field advantage situation and that really does make a difference but in regards to the comment about pitching downhill... is that not what they teach you to do growing up? Pitchers throw downhill

 

I'm talking below sea level here, when you can't see the Right Fielder from home plate?
