2018 Scout Notes from PG Park at LakePoint

2/15/2018 8:48:06 PM Jack Friedman (2018, Decatur, Ga.) earned the start on the mound for Paideia Thursday night and did not disappoint. The righthander gets outstanding use of his lower half and it helps with his velocity sitting in the 88-91 mph range. His arm works well too hiding the ball well the back with good arm speed. That arm speed is maintained on his breaking ball that showed hard biting action and sharpness. Friedman's fastball is mostly straight and thrown from an over the top angle, but the ball gets on hitters quickly and made for lots of soft contact in Thursday's outing.
