Henry
de Noble

2014 All-Centennial League - 1st Team
2013 KABC 6A All-State - 1st Team

9/13/13 - Manhattan, KS, bullpen session:  RHP Henry de Noble (Manhattan HS, 2014) demonstrated the same easy delivery as in late summer.  His velocity bumped up a bit flashing some 87 mph FB's to go along with a good string of 85's near the strike zone. Breaking ball was 72-74 and mostly a sharp, late-breaking pitch.  Change-up was 78-79 and more of a show pitch at this time.  de Noble is a good athlete demonstrated by the 6.81/60 he ran after his bullpen session.  He's already drawing interest from top junior college programs in the area and is likely another velocity jump away from casting a wider net college-wise.

8/18/13 - Council Bluffs, Iowa, IWCC Tournament: RHP Henry de Noble (Manhattan HS, 2014) features the prototypical pitching prospect build: 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, wide-shouldered with long arms. A 2013 6A All-State First-Team Pitcher, de Noble's fastball was an easy 81-83 mph (85 tops) with a 74 mph breaking ball and what looked like a cutter type pitch. He threw a lot of strikes and will be a pitcher to follow as he develops throughout the fall and spring.
