KFDM COOP Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Braeden Riley at Woodville continues to impress folks. He was 4-0 as a Freshman on the Varsity and went 12-0 as a Sophmore and Junior on Varsity. He's already 4-0 this year. Channel 6 will be doing a story on him.
MIF04 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 This a great kid and great player (good family, too and they run one good restuarant up there, too)!!!!
whsalum Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Great all around player.Good pitcher but defense is his strength.Trying to hit something by him is like trying to slip daylight past a rooster.
MIF04 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Like the analogy of 'daylight' and a 'rooster'....and he is one slick fielder. He is "Schneider-esque"....
Guest Orangeboy Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 That's the kid that shutdown a good Silsbee team. Some of the Silsbee kids said he is the best pitcher they've ever faced.
jackleg Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 this kid can absolutely play some ball. Had the good fortune to watch him play on several occasions... He will impress you!!!
MIF04 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Not a hard thrower but very effective, very smart. I would guess he is in the low to mid 80s (80-84) but haven't seen an actual 'gun' on him.
whsalum Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Not overpowering,throws probably low 80s.Has excellent control and very good breakin ball.I have watched him forever and his glove will be his ticket.Extremely hard worker and a student of the game.Everyone gets hung up on speed ,if that was the barometer Maddux would have never won a game.
whsalum Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 I agree there arent but 2 Madduxes,but my point is you dont have to throw 90 plus to pitch.Location and movement get people out also.Anyway back to the topic,good kid ,good player nuff said.
