Baseball: BYU Signs Lone Peak Flamethrower
Got word earlier today that one of the state's top high school pitchers, Lone Peak righthander Daniel Sechrest, will sign with BYU on Tuesday in a ceremony at his school in Highland.
Along with Cottonwood's Kyle Beverley (Oregon State) and Viewmont's Christopher Larsen (North Carolina State), Sechrest is one of the most heavily recruited baseball players in the state this year.
The 6-foot-7 flamethrower will have a former teammate on BYU's team, lefty Daniel Welch.
Of course, the Cougars can't totally count on having Sechrest. He will probably be picked in June's Major League Baseball draft, and then will have a difficult decision to make: Pro or college baseball?
Sechrest was recruited by Washington State, Army, Louisville, Texas, Texas A&M and others, his mother said.
When the early signing period began last week, Timpanogos' Brett Lopez signed with the Cougars. A BYU spokesperson said the school will likely release all its baseball signings later this week.
The Cougars are reportedly also interested in Spanish Fork pitcher Devin Nelson, while Timpanogos pitcher Gentry Croft is ticketed to the College of Southern Nevada.
