21-3A FLAMETHROWERS

[MWhizzie]

Hicks didnt show your nothen in the game he pitched against jasper the final game he gave up 5 hits and they would have one the game if there wasnt so many errors

but they didnt i was their is saw that game he did alright but nothing spectacular

[j_dog]

I will have to keep my eyes open.   Didn't see anyone from 21-3A getting close to 90 last year.

Of course, it looks a lot different from behind the plate.   

I saw two pitchers 21-3A getting close to 90 last year, both in the same game.  Not my judgement.  It was stated fact by the college scout sitting in the bleachers with a gun on them.  The two pitchers:  Stringer for BC, and Reagan for Jasper.  As I remember they were consistently throwing around 88, and hitting 90 and up.

in hs most coaches would take a strike thrower over a flamethrower any day......hicks can pump into the upper 80s now and clark doesnt have a cannon but gets kids out

[Guest ST4life]

I dont think anyone that plays jv was better that monse rodgers and treece in fact hicks and mcdonald need some work they didnt really show me anything last year

for thinking that HJ has the fastest baseball pitchers I  guess you came over here to talk about baseball because you where geeting scared on the basketball forum

Hicks is a solid player.  Better fielder than pitcher.  No way he throws in the upper 80's....  Sorry..

[East TX]

Hicks is good at any position;however, when he pumps a fast ball--he is pitching it in the upper eighties.  He most always puts a lot of spin and slice-spin on his pitches; at lower speeds.  Watch him sometime when he is- pushed- on a throw from SS, he can throw a rapid ball.

[cardinals4life]

[Guest ASISEEIT]

man ASISEEIT i have to tell you your reall smart

cardinals4life, before you talk about how smart someone is, learn how to spell "you're real"..lol

As for Harrington, I know he is in 4a...  He actually does throw in the upper 80's like you claim Hicks does..

I'm not downing Hicks in any way but I saw him pitch over the summer and he did fine, just not in the upper 80's......  Any team would love to have a player like that..

[Dog4Life]

I've seen Hicks pitch a couple of times in the last few months, he Definitely hits the upper 80's.......With control.

[The dirty doody]

hicks throwing in the upper 80's is the same as me wieghing abuot 90lbs when im a good 260.

[Dog4Life]

Not sure what to tell ya 'Bones', he does it...........

over the SUMMER??

someone can gain speed in 4 months.

maybe a good 3-4 mph.

say Matt Hicks threw 83-84 in June or July,

add 3-4 mph, its now Dec. and you have a good 86-87.

Thats upper 80's and either way, Hicks is a sophmore and will most likely hit 90 by his senior year if he is healthy. Answer your question?

If Custer would have had machine guns it would have been a different outcome.

Let's try to stick with the thread and get away from the personal attacks.

[KFDM COOP]

I agree!! I just deleted several posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MIF04]

The Hicks kid is documented over the summer topping/touching 87.  He does not pitch at that velocity but, on at least 1 pitch, can hit 87.  He is a max effort kid with some questionable arm action.  It is effective now because it does product some spin on the ball but one can question how well a player with his build will hold up/progress.  He projects better as an infielder IMO.
