Looking for honest feedback. What level do you think he could be recruited for?
Yellowjacket, welcome to HSBBW!
Unless I am missing something on the video, I only saw 2 pitches.....1 for a strike and 1 for a high ball. He appears to me to have good mechanics which is always a must. Velocity is hard to guess at but as a lefty it's never that important..lol.
IMO, I'd put up another link with him throwing quite a few pitches so we can get a better feel of his "stuff", etc.
Also, his age, class, etc....??

His stride is way too short .
How can anyone judge what level he can play at after a short 2 pitch video.

Hey guy's. i am also a 2010LHP I throw 83-84 and top out at 87 but 87 is not me. I throw harder in the 6th inning than the 1st. I live in Fl but really want to play in NC or Charleston.I am an avg student and have been cleared by the clearinghouse.. I haven't been offered because I don't throw hard enough, but before I'm done, I WILL GO PRO! But 1st I want an education. I will try out for anyone against anyone- I just want a chance
Guys thanks for the comments. Just a bit more information,he is 6'0" 140lbs (doing intense training to get bigger such as weight training and cross country) 6'0" stride length, a 2010 senior, pitched 45innings last year in high school with 60k's, throws 2 seam with movement and sinking action (not many fly balls) and with command, a nice change up that has same movement as fb, knuckle curve ball with tight spin and a lot of break.The video was shot at Golden Park, Columbus, Ga. Jordan pitched a complete game against Columbus Chain giving up 4 hits, 2 earned runs. We lost 3-2 on an unearned run in the seventh. Jordan is playing for the Savannah Chain Black College Showcase Team this fall. Schedule is on www.chainbaseball.com . I will try to post more extensive video in the near future. Again, thanks for the suggestions. Good luck to other LHP that posted, keep working hard it will pay off
