Korey Cirks (2017 RHP, Villa Park, CA) took up a submarine pitching style in January from what we're told and really executes it well. He was 74-76 mph with the expected life for three easy shutout innings and showed a sharp breaking 67 mph slider as well. It's a pitching style that is going to get hitters out at the college level.
Brandon Deutsch (2017 RHP, Los Angeles, CA) threw four scoreless innings, topping out at 85 mph early and settling down into the low 80's/high 70's and filling up the strike zone. He also threw a curveball and change up.
Bryan Pope (2017 2B, Ladera Ranch, CA) is a primary infielder but we liked him on the mound this weekend just as much. He threw two innings, working in the 83-86 mph range with a sharp downer 71 mph curveball.
Jack Mori (2017 OF, San Mateo, CA) had a nice game on both sides of the ball. He hit a big double to left centerfield that was the hardest hit ball of the day, plus threw a scoreless inning with an 81-83 mph fastball and very sharp, late breaking 76 mph slider.
Drew Sims (2017 C, Winchester, CA) sacrificed a bat to do it but he followed Mori's double with a double of his own into the left field corner, scoring the game's only run with two outs in the bottom of the fifth and final inning
Dylan Aronne (2017 OF, Dana Point, CA) continued his hot hitting, picking up the only hit for the Cardinal team, his third of the day, with a line drive single.
