Ketchikan, AK vs. Willow Canyon, AZ

Nathan Bonck, a Seattle University commit, is about as projectable as they come with his 6-6, 200 pound frame that has plenty of filling out to do.  Bonck threw 5 innings without giving up an earned run, from an effortless delivery and clean arm action.  Bonck gets downhill plane and occasional cutting action on his fastball from his three-quarter arm slot.  His fastball was up to 84 mph, but expect an increase in that as he continues to mature and get stronger.  He struck out eight hitters mixing in a slider and changeup.

Fernando Lugo showed the ability to go the other way, collecting two doubles to right field.  He has a shorter, compact swing with quick hands at the dish and runs hard out of the box.  Both doubles drove in runs, making his RBI total two for the day.

Nick Nanikivell was the timely hero for Willow Canyon.  Coming off the bench, Nanikivell took full advantage of his opportunity smashing a ball past the shortstop in extra innings to bring home the game winning run.  Nanikivell did show good strength in his size, and the ball came hard off the barrel. 

Cardinal Newman, CA vs. Desert Mountain, AZ

Sophomore catcher, Jack Silverman, showed good barrel turn on his sac fly to left field.  He displayed solid bat speed and strong pull side contact for a young player.  Behind the plate, he has a strong arm, tossing out a Cardinal Newman steal attempt with ease. 

Another sophomore, Holden Boyce impressed at the dish showing off some very quick hands and hard pull side contact lacing a ball through the right side.  Boyce moves well on the base paths and the outfield.  Expect him to look much more physical in two years after he matures and continues to fill out physically to his current 5-11, 165-pound frame.
