“Noble is a stud—he competes and he does it the right way. His stuff on the mound is evident, and he backs it up with the ability to throw any pitch in any count for a strike. Take him off the mound and he is probably on the shortlist for this award as a first baseman as well. He can hit with the best bats in our state.”
