He may not be hunting terrorists like his namesake, but Jack Bauer is certainly creating havoc on the mound. And this isn’t just any high school pitcher – it’s a 17-year-old left-handed pitcher with the kind of velocity that turns the heads of fans and scouts alike. His fastballs? Hotter than a summer day in Georgia! And his mission? To make jaws drop, one triple-digit fastball at a time!
On Tuesday, Bauer’s performance against Coffee High School in Georgia felt like something out of a movie. Sitting comfortably between 97 and 101 MPH on his fastballs. In fact, Bauer even hit a jaw-dropping 102 MPH at one point! For a high school pitcher, these numbers are nothing less than extraordinary.
According to Prep Baseball Georgia, his jump in velocity from last season, where he was sitting in the mid-90s, has now turned heads, with many now projecting him as a potential first- or second-round pick in the upcoming MLB Draft. The scouts have surely lined up, and it’s clear that Bauer’s fastball is no longer a mere secret!
