The Vikings (43-20) may also have the best arm in the state, college or high school, in 6-foot-6, 215-pound freshman lefthander Dane Gronewald, who contributed a 6-2, 2.79 record to Jefferson’s drive to a national-tournament berth.
At athletic southpaw with a loose, deceptive arm, Gronewald can flash above-average velocity to righthanded hitters while neutralizing lefthanders with his off-speed stuff. (perfectgame.org, 5/27/11)
♦ Played for the Duluth Huskies in the Northwest League this past summer
♦ Gronewald pitches Winfield to semi-final win (St. Louis Post Dispatch, 6/4/2010)
Dane Gronewald dominated the Pembroke Hill bats in their Class 3 semifinal on Friday afternoon at Meador Park in Springfield.
Gronewald allowed just two hits and struck out seven in a complete-game shutout as the Warriors defeated Pembroke Hill to clinch a spot in Saturday’s championship game.
“Dane woke up ready to pitch today,” coach Trent Crenshaw said. “He knew that we were going to ride him. He’s given it to us all year. He’s definitely one of those kids you hate to lose. This was his last high school start. I’m proud of him for what he did.”
