Confirmed with St. X baseball coach Andy Porta that Austin Clemons - U of L signee, top Mr. Baseball candidate - out for year with torn ACL.

 

 

Ouch. Prayers for a speedy recovery!

He is a great kid kid who will be a star at the next level. A kid his age and in his condition should recover quickly from the ACL. A big loss for St X, but they still have enough talent and experience to win the region. They have lost a couple of games to lesser opponents, as their coaches seem to be mixing up the line-ups. I heard they sat a bunch of starters and pitched a JV player last night against DeSales. X plays a brutal schedule, so I guess their coaches are trying not to overuse the arms.

Wow. I am not sure I have heard this injury on baseball field. Heart go out to kid.
