Saw on Instagram that Blake Helms senior Rocky Mount Gryphon baseball player has committed to play baseball for Barton. This past season Blake was 8-2 during the regular season. Do you think he was the main man on the mound or not. The Gryphons only won ten games all season.
Instagram was hot yesterday as Isaiah Alston the senior Gryphon shooting guard basketball player has committed to play for John Thompson at NC Wesleyan. Isaiah average 20.8 points per game and had his moments that he could score 15 points in a matter of seconds throwing in threes. He averaged 4.8 rebounds as a shooting guard and not quite two assists per game.
The end of basketball season has come and gone and one former Lady Gryphon that I had not mentioned since Christmas was Carmen Richardson. Richardson freshman year at Queens College in Charlotte she played in all 27 games averaging 17.9 minutes per game. Hey 17 minutes per game is major contributions for a freshman off the bench. She shot almost 38 per cent at guard averaging 5.8 points per game. Not a bad freshman year at all for Carmen.
This week's update on Brian Goodwin playing in AA Harriburg Pa. Brian hit his second home run of the year but that batting average is a concern. Down to 218 which is where he was hitting before his shoulder injury last season in AAA Syracuse. Injuries have been the down fall of many players in any sport. Brian is listed as the 13th prospect for the Washington Nationals but last year at this time he was number one.
Hobbs Johnson lost his second game of the season at Bolixi Mississippi pitching in AA for the Milwaukee Brewers. His record now stands at 3-2 with and ERA of 3.26. If you recall earlier in the season Bolixi has not played a home game yet due to the fact their stadium has not been completed but it is close now.
The most odd first year in pro baseball must belong to Trea Turner the former Wolfpack shortstop was a first round draft pick for the San Diego Padres. Turner signed a 3.9 million dollar bonus when he signed with the Padres on June 13 2014. Christmas he was the player to be named later in a three way trade between the Padres and the Washington Nationals.
MLB rules state that no rookie can be traded until one year after his first year of his contract ends. So Turner has spent the entire spring in San Antonio the AA affiliate of the Padres playing for a team that doesn't want him. So what has Turner done. He has hit 325 and played flawless shortstop for a team that will not have him after June 13th when his year is up.
Still trying to recover from the Wolfpack baseball game that ended after midnight Monday. It is about the worse two innings I have ever seen any team play.
