RHP Braxton Turnbow (2021) has been the ace of the staff since moving to Thompson HS recently, and he took the ball on Tuesday night in a huge area matchup and went the distance on the mound to earn the win. Stands a durable, 6-3, 200-pounds and uses a high ¾ arm slot that produced a fastball that worked 84-87, and even touched 89 mph once on an elevated fastball with two strikes to get a swing and miss. Featured a cutter-like secondary offering at 80-81 mph that was just enough off of the fastball to induce weak contact and maintained the same plane with late cut. Changeup was also used effectively at 78-79 mph, mostly against left-handed hitters. An absolute competitor on the mound that made some big pitches to hold an offense that featured numerous Division 1 commitments to just one run. Finished earning the win while tossing 7 IP, 5 H, ER, 2 BB & 4 K’s. Unsigned senior that could be a great addition to a college program.
