Six High School Standouts Sign With IHCC

Centerville -- Indian Hills baseball coach Cam Walker has announced the signing of six high school seniors who will be joining the IHCC program next fall.  Walker is excited about what the six future Falcons will add to the 2013-14 Indian Hills squad.  "These six guys will all play a role in continuing the great tradition that is IHCC baseball," said Walker.  "We are excited to add them to the very talented group of freshmen that are on the roster this spring."

The signees include:

Nick Green, righthanded pitcher, Ft. Carson HS, Fountain, Colorado
Green will return to the mound this spring after sitting out his junior season with an arm injury.  At full strength, he brings an upper-80s fastball with two very good secondary pitches.  As he regains his strength, Green could increase his velocity to the low 90s and will be a good addition to next year's starting rotation for the Falcons. 

Kyle Keck, outfielder, Ottumwa HS, Ottumwa, Iowa
Keck brings a lefthanded bat with good athleticism that will help him transition to playing the outfield at the next level.  The staff feels he will develop quickly into a very good college player as he possesses a work ethic that is second to none.  One of the top high school players in the area he should push for playing time right away with three sophomore outfielders leaving the program after this year.

Mitch Langer, first baseman, Ft. Carson HS, Fountain, Colorado
A high school teammate of signee Nick Green, Langer possesses a big-time middle-of-the-order presence.  He has plus-power at the plate and has already worked out for many professional scouts between his junior and senior seasons.  Langer is 6'4" and weighs 220 pound and runs very well for his size.  He is expected to be a strong defensive player at first base as well.

Michael Levar, third baseman/righthanded pitcher, Cheyenne Mountain HS, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Levar is expected to work off the mound and be a position player for the Falcons.  He, like Langer, will provide a middle-of-the-order bat.  As a pitcher, he has a mid-80s fastball with a very good breaking ball.  Levar could be a part of the starting rotation or work out of the bullpen.  A very athletic player, he should also be able to make a smooth transition to third base at the collegiate level.

Jordan Magers, lefthanded pitcher, Kirksville HS, Kirksville, Missouri
Magers has been destined to be a Falcon for a long time as he has attended IHCC baseball camps for the past 10 years.  He comes from a very successful high school program and should see a jump in his velocity and pitching ability once he transitions into the college game.  He will give the pitching staff another lefthanded arm for next year.

Jayson Sanchez, righthanded pitcher/shortstop, Brawley Union HS, Brawley, California
Sanchez is coming off a phenomenal junior campaign in which he won Pitcher of the Year honors in the Imperial Valley Conference in southern California.  He led the league with eight wins and a 1.38 ERA in one of the top high school conferences in California.  Sanchez will look to make an immediate impact as a position player in the middle infield, where he played when he wasn't on the mound.  He also has great bloodlines as his brother, Jacob, is currently playing professionally.
