4/2/26 - Got a chance to pitch against another top 5 team in the state. Used my five pitch repertoire to induce weak contact and get timely strikeouts. Fastball was 82-84 with lots of arm side movement and a great feel for both sides of the plate. 5 2/3IP, 4H, 1BB, 0ER, 5K @TheCanesBB @PrepBaseballNV @B_HarrisonPBR

‘28 RHP Connor McDonald (Palo Verde) FB - 82-84, commands in/out CB - 70-71, more 12/6 SL - 72-75, late tighter action CH- 70-72, locates down in zone The sophomore right-hander cruises through his first 4 IP against a stout Centennial lineup, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 4. Present pitchability, throws all of his pitches for strikes, nothing straight #BeSeen @Con_Mcd27 @TheCanesBBWest @B_HarrisonPBR | @prepbaseball

Hard to believe the first half of the high school season is over. So far leading the team in innings, wins, and strikeouts. Ran the fastball up 86, but sitting 83-84. Getting more confidence everyday in my five pitch mix. Excited for what the rest of the season has in store. @TheCanesBB @PrepBaseballNV @B_HarrisonPBR @PaloBaseball

Grateful for the opportunity to play with Canes NST and spend a summer in the southeast.
