BASEBALL AMERICA
• Army has a pair of players who figure to be good senior signs next June. Lefthander Drew Clothier has a prototype 6-foot-3 frame and an 87-89 mph fastball that can reach 92, and two-way player Cole White figures to get a shot as an infielder thanks to his bat; he hit .408/.481/.575 in 179 at-bats last spring. Army also landed a few very intriguing freshman arms, led by 6-foot-5 righthander Kirk Porter, who can run his fastball up to 94 mph. With 15 freshmen on the roster, coach Joe Sottolano said the young Black Knights could take their lumps early in the season, but he expects them to be dangerous down the stretch.

LHP Drew Clothier (Army): The 6-3, 195 junior throws in the low 90’s occasionally and is beginning to harness his breaking ball and split finger change up. Clothier has pitched in 10 of Army’s first 17 games as a swing starter/closer and is 2-1, 3.20 with 1 save. He’ll pitch in Hawaii this summer and look to take Hill’s spot at the top of the Army rotation next spring.
