Pitt CC takes 3 of 4 from Lousiburg

i saw pete levitt in the state quarterfinal game last year for cape henry and the gun was reading anywhere from 81-84. wouldnt you say a 10-15 mph increase in a year is a little unbelieveable?

I don't know what you saw at that game, but it was just one game. I was there and Levitt was nowhere near his best, and that is why they lost that game. However, perhaps if you are so much in the baseball "know", you should ask one of the 15 or so pro scouts who are showing up to his games what they are getting on their guns now. Velocity is not everything. You still have to throw strikes. But last year at Cape Henry, Levitt was pretty consistant at 86-88, touching 90-91 on occasions.To move to 88-92 touching 94 is not unbelievable.

I've been on hsbw for a few years now and one thing ive noticed is your repeated defense of cape henry and Pete...i happened to have had the privledge of competing against Pete in both basketball and baseball. Pete does throw the ball very hard and i won't argue his 90's velocity but his off speed stuff has always been a great question with him. Any improvement?

P4R- I am a supporter of baseball in general and have been a supporter of Cape Henry in particular, although not exclusively. Defense is called for when truthfulness is challenged! Pete has struggled with development of the off speed, as many young pitchers do.I believe he has been working on a splitter, and has greatly improved his curveball. He barely threw one in high school, and I think Coach Eason has taught him the importance of the off speed out pitch at the next level. He is a work in progress, with a ways to go. As I said in the previous post, velocity is not everything-you have to throw strikes and strikes for outs! But velocity gets your foot in the door.

i agree. throwing strikes is a big part of pitching. but i also agree that you are pete levitt and cape henrys biggest fan. nothing wrong with that. good to hear that hes throwing low to mid 90's

Well, now that you don't think I am fibbing anymore, how's Zaine Jack doing?

Zaine seems to be doing good. I talked to him today at the PA game. Verbally committed to VMI.

I wanted to reiterate that Pete has developed tremendously in the last 6 months. And I highly doubt the gun was reading 81-84 in the state tournament game. Just 2 weeks prior against Norfolk Academy in the TCIS semi-finals Pete was throwing 88-91. Hitting 90 in the 4th inning, not to mention throwing from the stretch(by choice). Pete's worked hard on his change-up and either that slider/splitter whatever he's throwing now. He has stepped up and put himself in a great position for June already or even a Div 1 transfer.

Pete's stuff is electric i was merely saying that in order to take that step to the next level he needed to add something off speed, which i'm glad to hear he has. And yes the number rule of pitching is throwing strikes. Good Luck.

zaines great as always. hows pete ballroom dancing goin?

After winning the Pro-Am division at the age of 10, I believe Pete hung up his dancing shoes to concentrate on baseball. He has not competed since.

impartialbut,
i am sure the dancing community and the 10-15 scouts showing up at each recital were saddened with their loss. with that said, i would like for you to give pete my regards when you next go to visit for parents weekend. i want you to know that i support pete in every endeavor, whether baseball or ballroom dancing.-dont get jealous zaine i support you too <3

My mother always told me, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all, even if you are really sly about making it sound like a compliment. I am certain Pete will be successful with or without your support. Perhaps your should spend more energy loving Zaine and less trying to show up people on this board. Just a thought.

whoa there compadre. bring it down a level. i support pete and was never try to make " sly compliments" so try reading that again

but i do have a problem with peoples parents on this website doing nothing but talking up their sons. nothing against pete and im not directly aiming this at you but this website has turned into nothing but kids talkin **** to eachother over the internet.
