Reply to "Who was the best pitcher you ever witnessed pitch at the HS level?"

Jessie Biddle (Friends/Philadelphia).He'll be in AAA (Phillies) as a 22yo this year. He's a 2014 Top 100 MLB prospect. The best I ever faced in Legion was Bert Roberge (Edward Little/Auburn Me) He was an even better hitter. He pitched six years for the Astros and Expos.

I had two Legion teammates I thought had a shot to make it. Both injured their arms in college and it was over. Both threw hard and had nasty temperaments. One was 6'7" and threw 90 in high school. I had to face him in college summer ball when he was throwing 94. At that size and velocity it felt like he was shoving the ball down your throat. After getting two hits off him he decided to drill me in the ribs. The other guy was one of my best friends growing up. And he had no problem drilling me in college summer ball after I nearly undressed him with a shot up the middle.
