I'm excited to announce that I will be furthering my Academic and baseball career at Wichita State University . I want to thank Family, Friends, Coaches, and Teammates. Go Shockers! #ShockerBaseball @savagebaseball1 @GoShockersBSB @kcbullets_dale

Braden Berry (St. Joe Blast 2020 Grad) Braden is a big strong kid that comes in at 6’2” and 220 lbs. don't let his size fool you because he also showcases a little speed on the bases and in the outfield. Does a good job in the outfield with solid defensive skills and arm but profiles as a 1B for the future. The bat shows true potential with an upright stance and high hands that leads to an explosive lower half at contact. He can get a little long in the swing but shows true gap to gap power which will only get better as the swing matures.

I have also see him listed as a RHP.

I don’t give a **** if this is beep baseball at Starkey — 32 consecutive strikeouts is an amazing achievement. Hope the new coach can hold onto him.

[RoyalShock]

The old consecutive strikeout record in Kansas was 12 . . . in 1953.

[Ricardo del Rio]

32 is hard to believe.

[RoyalShock]

[ShockTalk]

But can he strikeout lefties?

[WstateU]

Good question, but he can 'hum' it...

[1972Shocker]

It sounded fast coach..

[RoyalShock]

[SB Shock]

So how fast is this kid throwing?

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

Topped out at 88 as of October 2018 https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/...aspx?ID=510106

Wish him the best, but all that does is open the door for a ambitious, worthy and dedicated student athlete who wants to be at WSU and wants to win.

I totally don't understand the thinking of the decommits and transfers. Coach who has done nothing of significance - ever - as a D1 HC gets relieved of duty. A killer staff replaces the melancholy mess, including a freaking former MLS manager of the year and part of WSU baseball's pinnacle, and kids are all like "nah... think I'll look elsewhere." It's like division by zero or something. What in the ever living eff?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Todd Butler must be a salesman the likes should be recorded in the annals of human history. If the dude started a cult he'd be the next Brigham Young. He counts as his converts some of the very people on this board, and if nothing else the scale of the sway he can pull is awe-inspiring.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

In all fairness its not really your place (or anyones) to understand it. There are multiple reasons someone decommits and for all we know the kid had been in contact with the coaching staff and was told he didnt have a spot or perhaps his role might be changing. Im also pretty sure these 18/19 year old kids either dont know or done really care about what happened in 1989. They do know the WSU "brand" but hell Eric Wedge could stand behind most people on this board at a McDonalds and Im certain a large portion wouldnt even recognize him.

The thing about posting something publicly in English is that you sorta, you know, expect the readers to understand it. I'd say it IS in our place to read what was publicly posted and try to make sense of it - that's why he posted it on Twitter.

Some of these folks are not making this decision themselves. I think we're going to see less recruits committing to the program and less folks around the program in the Fall.
