“Brock is by far the most dominant pitcher that I have seen in the 20 years I have been a coach. On a team full of future Division I collegiate players along with multiple prospective MLB draft picks, he was by far the most elite performer. This season, he featured a fastball that was consistently in the upper 90s, hitting 100 miles per hour at one point during our district championship game, along with secondary pitches that made him virtually unhittable. We had one of the finest offensive teams I’ve coached this year and he one-hit us. He’s more than worthy to be selected as the Gatorade Player of the Year for Michigan and would represent the state in a great way.”
