2014 Local Draft Prospect - Junior Harding

[srock]

Junior Harding.

As a junior at Cambridge-South Dorchester High, he threw 10 innings in the state regional to beat my alma-mater St. Michaels High (Go Saints!). Here's the local article.

Yes, the Saints pulled off a hidden ball trick in this one.

Harding's last pitch was clocked at 96 mph. Two different people at the game confirmed this.

"This was just an amazing game to be a part of, Femi said. "And I really think that Junior is the best pitcher I've ever coached for or against. I coached Troy (as an assistant at C-SD) and against another guy ... who pitched in the majors. In 30 years, Junior's the best I've seen."

Zach Correa for the good guys isn't too bad either

BTW, Harding has committed to South Carolina in some form.
