Notes

Comments

3/16/24
(2024, Clarksville) The uncommitted senior was sharp in his start Saturday where he routinely attacked the zone and just really controlled the game from the onstart. Henderson was a recent standout at Prep Baseball Tennessee Preseason All-State where he sat 86-88 mph with spin ranging in the 2400-2500’s. He has impressed in multiple outings thus far and was no different against Mt. Juliet where he went a complete game shutout surrendering only 3 hits to go with 7 strikeouts. One thing that really separates Henderson is his ability to throw strikes and command the zone, something that is often lost in today's game. He started hitters off 20 out of 25 batters with first pitch strikes. He would go on to throw a total of 79 pitches with 60 strikes. A college is going to be really lucky to ink his signature as he has gone under the radar thus far, but will be a late steal. He would be a guy you can throw up against anyone and know that your team is going to have a chance to win as he is coming off a 2023 All-State First Team nomination.
