How good is JUCO ball in @THEGCAA ?? In our game today there were 7 90+ arms. 2 that were at 93. There were also 9 bombs and several web gems. I’d bet if we polled the other two games in the league it’s pretty similar.

#1 stuff. 90-94, T95. Big curveball and a tighter slider. Change up can be plus. Last year was coming off TJ and was a key piece out of the pen. Sky is the limit with Reece, his arm is electric and he’s a bulldog.
