Winter Showcase in North Vancouver
Today I went to North Vancouver for a Winter Showcase at the Inside Performance Baseball Facility. It was a workout with 30 of the top pitchers in BC. There were 38 of the top hitters in the province as well. There were several MLB scouts as well as coaches from various colleges and universities. The fields were split between Juniors and Seniors. I felt like I pitched well. My curveball was good and the fastball felt great.
Here is a quote from Corey Eckstein - KC Royals Area Scout and Player Development Director for the Abbotsford Cardinals
"Some loud noise today from #AC pitchers at MLB Workout. Harold 90, Jackson* 89, Loewen 88, Stewart 88, Smith 87. Nice job fellas."
The exciting thing for me personally was I am the only junior in that mix and 3 of the 4 have already committed to colleges in the states. I can't wait to get on a real dirt mound with baseball spikes. Until then I will keep working.
