HI NOTES: Mizzou Recruits Shine at PG Indoor Showcase

Lots of chatter about 2013 Mizzou Baseball recruits Devin Williams and Jake Brentz, plus a potential Class of 2014 recruit, Tanner Gragg.

About 3½ months have passed since Brentz set the scouting community on its ear with that one fastball, and a lot has changed. He walked into Perfect Game’s headquarters here for this weekend’s 13th annual PG Pitcher/Catcher Indoor Showcase as the country’s No. 52-ranked prospect and has signed with the University of Missouri from the powerful Southeastern Conference.

Brentz rolled with the flow during his pitching and hitting workouts at the PG P/C Indoor. His fastball sat tight in the 91-93 mph range and touched 94 three times; his changeup registered 83 and his curveball 71. A PG scout noted that he “showed good extension with good balance (and an) aggressive fluid stroke” during his hitting session.
. . .
“I always wanted to play in the SEC and I’ve always been a Missouri fan, so it’s a great situation and a good fit,” Brentz said.

A great fit, that is, if he ever makes it to Mizzou’s Columbia campus...
