Five Tool Premier Summer Collegiate League

Most Valuable Pitchers: Evan Godwin (HP Baseball Crew – Baylor University)

HP Baseball Crew’s Evan Godwin proved to be a top of the line ace this summer and was the strikeout leader in the Premier Summer Collegiate League. The LHP will be entering his second year at Baylor and looks to keep the momentum he built throughout the summer. Godwin’s bread and butter pitch is a wicked curveball that he effectively tunnels with a two seam fastball. Godwin attacks the zone and is able to generate swings and misses due to his pinpoint location. This one is going to turn a number of heads in the Big 12 this upcoming spring.
