    Freshman Robert Proffitt, Catcher is playing for the varsity at North Meck. He has caught a lot of innings. In the early games, they DH'ed for him. Against Butler, he was hitting in the lineup and had a sacrifice bunt down the 1B line and hit a sharp single down the 3B line.

    He's been playing a lot and playing well.

    Proffit

    NCBBall: I got to see Proffit last Friday and he did a good job against Butler. I saw him throw out a runner at third but how good is his arm to second?

    He's still developing his arm. I'm expecting it go get a little stronger every year. He's got so much peach fuzz on his face, he looks like he's 9 years old......

    I'm wouldn't worry about that until he matures. He's going to get faster.

    Josh Thrailkill is emerging as one of the top 06 pitchers in western
    NC. He is 4-0 (thru 3/20) for TC Roberson's varsity and reports have him already hitting 84 mph. An interesting player to watch over the next few years !

    Re: Proffit

    Depends on the pitcher. If you have a guy on the mound who holds runners well, he does fine ... has thrown out 3. If they can get good jumps and the pitcher has a long unload time, he doesn't have the arm to make it up. He needs a pitcher that can help him .. unload time between 1.1 - 1.3, longer than that and they've got the base.
