Battlefield District Games: Week 1: March 12th - 18th

I keep hearing about a flame thrower at King George.

Yes/No any info?

tops out 93 has a slider and a split change. Very athletic kid

What's his name, how big is he and what's his graduation year?

Senior Damien Carroll played basketball, i think he is 6'3"-4"ish I have heard braves are interested but you know how rumors fly.

Dutchman why so interested just out of curiousity? not sure if you run a team or???

Oh no I don't run a team -- anyone who runs a team would already know about this kid....

I'm just a local who's doing my best to keep up with the local HS team's and some of the areas top players...

Someone was telling me "this kids throwing 90" but you never really know....

93 and a slider - niiiiice....

It's exciting to see HS kid's throwing this hard, and I'm sure he's probably garnering a lot of interest from the Braves and others.

Thanks for the updates.

I've personally watched Damion grow up over the years. Have known him since he was 11 years old. Prior to JV & Varsity he played on a travel team based in King George.

He's had scouts from several major league teams - Braves, Royals, Red Sox - look at him in the past year alone. This year's first scrimmage had at least 4 scouts putting the gun on him.

As noted he can turn it loose - he's consistently in the 89-92 mph and I've seen him throw 93-94 on occasion.

Oh and did I mention he can hit? Four HR's last spring. I've personally seen him hit one 425+ feet at Caroline - went into the trees well behind the right field fence.

King George 7 W&L 0.

Damion Carroll recorded 16 K's in the 20 batters he faced. Only gave up one hit in 6 innings. Dustin Phillips retired the side in the 7th in relief.

Must have been 14 scouts watching Damion. I snuck a peak at the radar guns - Damion was consistently in the low 90's - 91-92 mph.

3/12 M Eastern View 2(H)Fauquier 1
Eastern View High School’s baseball team opened the season with a win Monday, scoring two early runs and holding off visiting Fauquier in a 2-1 defensive struggle.
Defense was a question mark heading into the season, with the Cyclones basically breaking in seven new starters, but after committing just one error Monday, EVHS head coach Danny Nobbs said he couldn’t think of a better way to start the spring.
“We knew defense was going to be the key factor coming in, but we actually played a phenomenal defensive game,” Nobbs said by phone Monday. “The guys came out and did their jobs, and we really can’t ask for any more.”
Denver Jenkins plated Brandon Settle to score the Cyclones’ first run, while Guillermo “Nemo” Martinez brought the other run across the plate.
Settle led the Cyclones at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double, while freshman A.J. Stead recorded a double in his first varsity at-bat.
Senior lefty Tanner May — the Cyclones’ ace — got the start and the win Monday, striking out eight and walking five in four innings of work. Sophomore Jacob Jackson went the rest of the way and earned the save.

3/13 T Wash& Lee 0(H) King George 7
Damion Carroll struck out 16, allowed one hit and walked three to help King George get a nondistrict win at Washington & Lee.
Michael Hundley was 3-for-3 with three runs scored; Dylan Dombrowskas was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored; and Zak Kegley went 3-for-4 with an RBI for the Foxes (1–0), who host the Eagles on Thursday.

3/13 T Fluvanna (H) Spotsy

Watching the the Courtland vs Monticello game yesterday.

They started a lefty sophmore. Had good movement on his fastball with good command.

3rd baseman had a nice swing and drove in a run along with the 2nd baseman.

Relief pitcher righty sophmore also had good control with a 3 inning save.

TCWPreps sent out the 411 on Damion last summer and Liberty jumped on him in making a a verbal offer.
