Another addition to the Fall Roster

I've received word that Ryan Yuengel, RHP/3B, from Festus High School (MO) has enrolled at Mizzou and will play baseball for the Tigers. Word is he was recruited as a pitcher, not an infielder.

Yuengel, Tigers keep JCC title hopes alive (Surburban Journal)
Festus senior Ryan Yuengel was hesitant to call his outing Monday against Crystal City his best of the season.

"It is one of the best I have thrown," said Yuengel, who did not allow a ball out of the infield for the first seven innings of Festus's 6-3 eight-inning victory against the Hornets.

Yuengel did not want to call it his best as he did have a no-hitter with 12 strikeouts earlier in the season against St. Vincent.

"I probably did have better stuff today," said Yuengel, who struck out a career-high 14 Hornets. "It was just your basic fastball and curve. The key was that I was able to get the curve over for strikes."

Yuengel allowed only three infield hits through seven innings, but the Hornets were able to scratch out a pair of runs, one with the help of Yuengel's throwing error in the fifth inning.

Festus pitcher Ryan Yuengel kept the Post 22 hitters off balance. Through eight innings, the right-hander struck out 12, walked three and allowed all three of Post 22’s hits.

“His fastball — I don’t know what it was clocked at — but it was really popping,” Ploof said. “And his curveball was really good.”
