Shineflew

LHP Jaxon Shineflew (2023) may not have had the same electric stuff as his counterpart, but the sophomore southpaw did an excellent job changing speeds and creating deception to be successful. In his start with a chance to clinch an area championship, Shineflew was extremely efficient, only facing three over the minimum through his seven innings of work. Shineflew worked mostly right around 80 mph while touching 82 mph in the 2nd with the fastball, and pitched out of multiple arm slots to generate arm side action. Breaking ball had sweeping action to it at 72-73 mph with spin around the 2500 rpm’s, and was thrown almost exclusively to left-handed hitters. Kept it low in the zone and out of the hitter’s reach to do any damage with. Also featured a 74-75 mph changeup thrown to right-handed hitters with the same arm action and movement as the fastball. Not much hard contact against the pitch, as he kept it on the outer-half to induce many rollover and weak ground balls. Finished tossing 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB & 3 K’s to earn the win on only 85 pitches.
