Novato Hornets Baseball

[NorCalU @NorCalU1]

@NorCalBaseball ‘26 @JPHarmon9 had a great start to his season, punching out 11 in five IP, giving up only a bunt single. He’s one of the best arms in the state and should have a great year.

Why isn't JP Harmon (Novato, CA) on any 2026 Draft Boards.

He should be.

Spoke to 3 different ‘26 grads last two days. All went to a “camp” they were invited to. One didn’t even bother meeting after. The other two found out class was filled and done recruiting. How do programs do that? Families, please qualify with specific questions. Makes me angry!

‘26 3B/RHP Hunter Lynch of Novato HS

After ripping a foul ball at 106 off the bat in the previous AB, Lynch rips a single at 103.2 mph EV in his next opportunity. A strong, 6-2, 237 pound frame.
