A few Monday night notes . . .
Junior-college standout Tommy Collier made his first start for Falmouth tonight and it doesn’t look like the step up in competition hurt him. Collier tossed six shutout innings and struck out nine, continuing the trend early-season of dominant starting pitching.
Over in Cotuit, a highly-touted player showed up on the lineup card. Devin Harris, a draft-eligible sophomore from East Carolina who wasn’t on Cotuit’s original roster, was in the lineup tonight and delivered an RBI. Harris, an outfielder, was an eighth-round pick by Baltimore last week, so I believe he’s the highest-picked player who’s currently on the Cape.
Harris was a breakout prospect for ECU this year, hitting .344 with 14 home runs, to go with 13 steals. Here’s a snippet from Baseball America’s draft scouting report: “Sophomore-eligible outfielder Devin Harris has big tools and looks the part of a prototypical right fielder. He’s an average runner at 6-foot-3, 227 pounds, with a plus arm suited for right field. Harris has massive raw power as well and the athletic ability to make adjustments . . . Harris fits in the first five rounds for a team that believes in his bat, but could fall because of the signing leverage he has as a sophomore.”
His arrival in Cotuit means he might be looking for a little more leverage. He’s definitely a player to keep an eye on this summer.
More on all of this and the rest of Monday’s happenings tomorrow morning. Hopefully, we’ll have some box scores.
