PERFECT GAMES TOP TEN LIST OF JUPITER MOMENTS AT THE WWBA CHAMPIONSHIPS Wednesday October 29, 2008 Covey Emerges Among Hard-Throwing Elite In 160 pool-play games played on 12 fields over a four-day period, 166 pitchers were clocked at 90 mph and above. A total of 298 hit 88 or better. Hard throwers were in evidence throughout the tournament, but no pitcher threw harder than Winning Inning (Fla.) righthander Mychal Givens (Tampa), a projected first-rounder in 2009 who was clocked at 96—and yet lost his only start while giving up three walks, four hits and four runs in three innings. Eight more pitchers were clocked at 94, including Covey, who worked all seven innings of San Gabriel Valley’s key 3-2, pool-play win over the talented Royals Scout Team. Not only did Covey allow just one hit, a wind-blown triple, but he struck out 17 and most impressively was 94 from the first inning to the seventh. No pitcher in the entire tournament (with the possible exception of Miller) may have created quite as much buzz. Ranked No. 34 in the 2010 high school class at the outset of the tournament, Covey progressed to a potential first-rounder off his dominant performance.
