Top Junior Pitchers in Florida

Mike McCalla of Douglas has done a great job and looks pretty darn good with that high leg kick and pretty good curve ball.

Good pitcher out of Umatilla threw 3 no hitters last year and touched 91-92 this fall for the Orlando Scorpions. RHP Jeremy Lucroy.

Corey Bevis, Oviedo High School

I agree on Corey Bevis (Oviedo) and also Franklin (Lyman)...although, he might be a sophomore

alex avila and danny farquar(sp?) from archbishop mccarthy in broward. Both juniors touching 90

Pitching competition amongst the 05's in Palm Beach County - IMO are:

Chris Volstad - Palm Beach Gardens
Mike Zenko - John I. Leonard
Luis Maldonado - Boynton Beach

Thanks for the info...but there's got to be more 05 pitchers out there!!!

Caleb Graham RHP, 6.2' 195lbs play for Gaither in Tampa Fl. Smart and good pitcher, wom the Saladino MVP in 2002. High 80's nasty curves.

It seems that each year very talented seniors emerge that either didn't get alot of press, or received limited press. No doubt that the "name" 05's will end up being joined a group that are relatively unknowns who end up dominating. Also, in some cases vary talented junior position players don't pitch much (or at all) and end up pitching their senior year out of either need or they have committed to a college and do so to help their team.

TR Hit and friends;

Thank you for this information on the 2005 high school pitchers.

Please have the players complete a player profile on the web site <www.areacodebaseball.org> and I will mail an invitation to the players for the Montreal Expos Area Code Team tryout June 16 at the U of Miami.

There is no fee to enter this pro tryout.

You are invited to attend as a guest of Nike and Area Code™ Baseball.

Mike Holland from Englewood High School..Lefty...80-82...great movement...nice curve and change

Top '05 pitcher in FL listed in the last Baseball America rankings is:

Shane Funk, RHP, 6'6" 220, Arnold HS, Panama City Beach, FL

Just in Bay county I would put my money on York.

YES and he's already verbally committed to LSU !

baseball 1, are yall going to play 375 in that tourney that yall are playing in middle june?

a lefty named Lacoste at Paxon HS in Jacksonville is a tall lefty that can get into the low 90's according to some scouts

Remind me when it the tourney comes around, me and my brother want to watch yall play. Talked to a couple of Crestview football coaches and they said Dean isnt to shaby.

Dean is the REAL DEAL !! How about the sophomore pitcher from Vernon, I heard he did very well this spring. Where is he playing summer ball.

Also, for any who read these boards, our team (Team Florida USA) has had a couple injuries to pitchers and are looking for a couple VERY GOOD arms for the remainder of the summer schedule. If interested, email me at:

Thank you

He is playing with his HS team about once a week. He also plays in a Sunday league some. Last time I talked to him he was going to try and find someone who played good competition but with most of the games on the weekend next year as it is a to late now. His FB workouts dont allow him to play a lot during the week, and as much as they throw the football in July he doesnt pitch any then. He did have a good year, but his mechanics went to pot at the end of the year.

what is his name ?
