Lebanon pitcher gives verbal to Ga. Tech
Lebanon High School pitcher Dusty Isaacs doesn’t have to worry about location next season. At least not as far as college is concerned. Isaacs, a senior to be, gave a verbal commitment to Georgia Tech.
Isaacs appeared in 10 games for Lebanon last season going 2-3 with a 2.18 ERA. He struck out 61 in 41.2 innings.
“He’s developing a good breaking ball. For a pitcher who just started the last couple years he’s starting to get a feel for that,” said Milwaukee Brewers scout Roger Janeway. “He caught the eye of Georgia Tech.”
Isaacs pitched the last two summers with the Cincinnati Flames and participated in the Perfect Game USA National Showcase at the Minneapolis Metrodome in June.
Here’s what perfectgame.org had to say about Isaacs: “Rare HS pitcher with true (slider)/true (curveball) combo. SL is sharp and consistent at 78-80, commands it well. Big CB break, lacks velo but very effective pitch. Did not see change. Three quality pitches, good command, projection. He can pitch for any college program. Good student.”
Isaacs led Lebanon with a .457 batting average, 37 hits, 28 runs and 24 RBIs. He also hit five homers and stole 12 bases.
Georgia Tech finished last season 38-19-1 and 17-10-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Yellow Jackets reached the NCAA tournament for the 23rd time in 25 seasons and was tabbed by Baseball America as national title contender for 2010.
