Move Over Pat Venditte

Say hello to Ryan Perez, a rising senior at Westmister Christian High School in Hampshire, Illinois.  Switch pitching is not unheard of, but Perez hits 92 mph with his right arm and 90 with his left.  I know that high school statistics can be overwhelming and Ryan's certainly fit the bill.  Last season he was 9-1 with 3 saves and a 1.64 ERA.  Pretty reasonable.  Now we get wacky.  OBA: .076 (16-for-210); K/9: 19.5 (143 K in 66 IP); WHIP: 0.58 (22 BB).  Over the course of the season he threw 65% strikes and 62% first pitch strikes, while inducing 65% ground balls from the few batters he did not strike out.  Perez tossed two no hitters, including a perfect game.  Needless to say, the 6'0" 180lb Perez is drawing some serious interest from the scouts.  Here's some video --







Cheers.
