• James is a 6'4" 210 pound right handed pitcher who threw 82-84 mph last yar as a sophomore.
  • He pitched in 12 games for us last year, his record was 5-4 with 53 innings pitched, facing 205 hitters striking out 55.
  • James had an arm injury at the end of the season last year, but working hard in the off season has resulted in a complete recovery, throwing since mid-january he looks real good.
  • James is probably the one person on our team that could really make an impact in the 1999 draft.
  • He is big and strong with a very nice arm action. If he works hard for the next 16 months, he could be a very high draft out of high school.
  • James is also a 2-sport athlete, playing football in the fall he has been the varsity punter for the last two seasons.

JAMES BRITTON -- When I graduate from high school, I would like to go into the draft for baseball. If I don’t get accepted to the pros, I’ll go to college and get an education and also play ball in college...
