@MaxWarner2027 @SMarquell0927 @Luke_Haley13 Uncommitted 2027 @eli_shoppell was the big winner from last night. Was electric, carving at 87-89. Mix includes a gyro slider at 82-84, a curveball in the upper 7s that peaked at 2900rpm, and a unique CH at 2400rpm/95+ eff.

[Blaine McRae @Run_BMC12]

@MaxWarner2027 @SMarquell0927 Uncommitted ‘27 RHP @Luke_Haley13 stuffed zone at 87-89 and spun the breaking ball up to over 2700, at 76-78. Mixes in low-mid 8s cutters and changeups which he’s developing feel for. Physical frame at 6’2” 205

[Blaine McRae @Run_BMC12]

@MaxWarner2027 Uncommitted ‘27 LHP @SMarquell0927 battled through some inconsistency for a solid day. Sat mid 8s and flashed some really quality stuff. Has the ability to generate whiffs. Everything will coalesce for Sam soon, and he will be an excellent arm.

[Blaine McRae @Run_BMC12]

Uncommitted 2027 @MaxWarner2027 threw a quality inning.

He flicked low 8s, mostly relying on his SNK/SL to the outer half, but flashed his + changeup. Got 5 S&Ms and two GBs in 24 pitches.

As he puts strength/weight on his frame (6’2” 165), the stuff will tick up in a big way

We had a big day of live at @MWPitchingDev
Over 20 arms threw an inning as they continue to prepare for their respective high school seasons. Below is a super thread of some of my favorite arms from the day… as always, proud of the work our guys put in.

[Max Warner @MaxWarner2027]

All glory to God! Thank you @CTrinkle23 for the mention! @MWPitchingDev @Run_BMC12 @GSP_Hitting

[Blaine McRae @Run_BMC12]

Luke put in his offseason work at @MWPitchingDev

He dialed in his pre throw routine, touched up his cutter to give him a bridge pitch, and worked on his rotational direction and maintaining posture. I would bet the house on Luke getting even better through the next few years.

[Cooper Trinkle @CTrinkle23]

Fort Wayne baseball rn 📈

The 28 class is loaded in the area & some of the best arms in the bunch showed out at @baseball_HU today.
