DP Scout Day: Carolina Forest Panthers

By: Dominick Duggan – November 21, 2011 With Thanksgiving on the horizon and Carolina Forest High School wrapping up it’s fall season, Diamond Prospects was there to catch a glimpse of what the Panthers will have to offer when the spring season arrives in 2012. Despite a bit of soggy conditions, you could not ask for a better day from Mother Nature in mid-November with 75 degrees and clear skies. . Pitching will most definitely be the cornerstone for Head Coach Jack Jolly’s team this season, which is why he decided to shut down the majority of his staff on this particular afternoon. There is no doubt that he will make every effort to protect the Panthers most coveted asset; a pitching staff that is full of experience and headlined by seniors Erich Knab (left), Robert Gray (right) and Chris Orlando (top). With most of the pitching staff in a resting mode and a handful of upper-classmen absent from the workout, today really gave us an opportunity to see how deep the 2012 Panthers will be, also a snapshot of the program’s future. 60’s Name Grade Time Joshua Fryar 12 7.36 Robert Gray 12 7.51 Erich Knab 12 7.01 Tyler Kochan 12 7.44 Chris Orlando 12 7.00 Joshua Abercrombie 11 7.71 Dillon Blunier 11 7.30 Cullen Marcis 11 7.27 Justin Nunes 11 7.83 Tyler Wyeth 11 7.71 Ryan Flynn 10 7.24 Robert Jolly 10 7.65 Austin Kelly 10 8.60 Camren Schildt 10 7.40 Logan White 10 7.83 Joey Dwulet 9 8.31 Noah McKeaige 9 8.60 Cameron Cauble 9 7.38 Sloan Drummonds 9 7.25 Drew Dyar 9 9.90 Bryan Forbes 9 10.30 Andrew Brong 9 8.50 DP Note: 60’s were run on a soft/wet track.
