The Louisiana Knights got off to a 1-0 start in the WWBA World Championship on Thursday morning, taking down the Mets Scout Team/Georgia Bombers by a score of 4-2. Peter Heubeck (2021, Baltimore, Md.) got the ball for the Knights in front of a crowd of scouts and was quite good, striking out 8 over 4 frames while allowing just 1 run on a hit and a pair of walks. Heubeck is a lean, projectable right-hander committed to Wake Forest; and he jumped onto the national radar this summer with a combination of present stuff, projection, arm speed, and metrics, and he had a good performance here. He ran his fastball up to 93 mph, settling in the low-90s with good plane, getting his arm vertical at release and really backspinning the ball when he works up as well, showing the same flashes of a potentially plus curveball long term as well, thrown with 12/6 shape and hammer depth when spun correctly.

The Knights got good relief appearances from Chase Allsup (2021, Dothan, Ala.) and Timothy Williams (2021, Shenandoah, Va.) to close out the victory, with the pair combining for 3 shutout frames. Allsup is a big, physical right-hander with a max effort delivery that is all about blowing velocity right by hitters, sitting in the 90-95 mph range over his 2 innings with good life to the arm side, flashing a slider as well but predominantly pitching off the heater. Williams, a lefthander who we haven’t seen in a year, looked very good in a short appearance, throwing only fastballs en route to a pair of strikeouts to earn the save, working 91-93 mph from the left side with good angle. Both of these relievers will be good to see throw again, if the Knights advance to Sunday.
