The first time laying eyes on this kid and was intrigued to see him, as he just was named the Utah 2A MVP at Kanab HS, in putting the Cowboys on his back and carrying them to an upset finish over #1 ranked South Sevier in winning the 2A State Championship! An athletically even props, long lean and taller frame at 6-1 180 and looks to be able to add another solid 10-15 Lbs of quality muscle and size to his frame. The pitching side of things grab your attention as he worked the FB 83-85 with a conventional med to high flexible knee kick to his delivery and gets the ball out of the glove clean and into a med compact HTQ arm stroke. Can get better ext. out front and does things in a controlled manner to quiet the body and feather the ball into the glove with command of the FB and CB for K’s. A strike thrower that pitched 59.2 innings with 12 BB and 97 K outs, that placed him in the top 3 in the state for punch outs. Has the added advantage of playing for a new coach that was a top JUCO and D1 player in his own right in Craig Brinkerhoff, that can guide and direct on how to prepare as an athlete for the college game. Scouted his coach as a player. Bone is now playing higher class summer ball for the first time and it will be interesting to see where this summer takes this kid from a developmental standpoint. Look for even bigger things to come from this kid over the next calendar year!
