Tyler Lundy
Perfect Game in correlation with Crosschecker.Com has compiled a list of the top 200 junior college players in the nation. Appearing on the list are two Iowa Western Community College freshmen that will be patrolling the outfield this Spring for the Reivers. Lundy; the North Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year; will play in the outfield along with being the teams closer on the mound.
Charlie Shirek (not mentioned here, but deserves to be)
2007 Outlook: The development of right-hander Charlie Shirek (pronounced SHEAR-ick) last season gives the Husker pitching staff three veteran pitchers to build the weekend rotation around • Compiled a 4-2 record with a save and a 3.23 ERA in 18 appearances last season, leading all Big 12 freshmen in ERA • Worked in a variety of roles throughout the year, primarily serving as NU’s No. 4 starter • Moved into NU’s weekend rotation for two starts after Joba Chamberlain’s injury, highlighted by a three-hit shutout of South Dakota State • Proved his ability to pitch in pressure situations, pitching 4.2 innings of shutout relief in a nationally televised win at fifth-ranked Texas and tossing 6.1 innings of one-run ball in a win over Creighton in front of a crowd of 21,158 at Omaha’s Rosenblatt Stadium • Tops out in the low 90s with a heavy sink and can locate four pitches for strikes • Rated as the No. 2 prospect in the Northwoods League in each of the past two years • Rested in the fall and did not participate in fall drills, allowing him to be ready for the start of spring drills.
