RHP Pitchers...........................TOP
Shawn Armstrong ECU FR 6-2 190 West Craven NC Electric right-handed pitcher, regarded as one of the top senior pitchers in the country. Pitches effortlessly in the low 90s with his fastball, and also shows solid feel for his curveball and change up. The East Carolina coaching staff feels that Armstrong will provide instant help in the starting rotation. As a junior for Head Coach Ryan Whitney at West Craven, Armstrong posted a 5-3 record, with a 2.36 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 44 innings earning all-conference honors, and being selected as the team's Most Outstanding Pitcher. He also hit three homeruns, drove in 21 runs and was selected to pitch in the State Games of North Carolina and also invited by Major League Baseball to participate in the East Coast Professional Showcase in Lakeland Florida last August. Impact Baseball Ranked Armstrong third in the state in the "Top 50 Seniors in North Carolina". Baseball America ranked Armstrong No. 60 in the country in its Top Prospect Ranking this fall. Armstrong continued to blossom this summer pitching for the Bayside Yankees and Manager Mark Cuseta posting a 3-0 record with a 2.50 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 39 innings allowing only 25 hits.
Coach Godwin's Comments: "Arguably the best right-handed pitcher in the state of North Carolina and one of the top arms in the country. Shawn has great presence on the mound and has the potential to be an impact pitcher right away."
