Westminster’s Jacob Turner impressed at the Perfect Game National Showcase at the Metrodome in Minneapolis last week. The right-handed pitcher, who will be a senior this coming school year, was identified as one of the top 10 pitchers at the Showcase by BaseballAmerica.com’s Matt Blood.

The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder’s fastball was clocked around 91-93 miles per hour, which ranked him among the hardest-throwing pitchers at the event.

Turner has already drawn a lot of attention from Division I schools — his older brother Jacob, a catcher, is headed to the University of Missouri in the fall — as well as Major League Baseball scouts. He’s got the prototypical pitcher’s body type and only figures to get stronger over the next few years.

As we approach the high school baseball season next spring, Turner will likely be talked about in similar terms as Holt High’s Tim Melville and Highland High’s Jake Odorizzi, two high draft picks earlier this month.

Turner has already had an outstanding high school career. This spring, as a junior, he went 5-2 with a 1.45 ERA. In 48 1/3 innings, he struck out 92 batters and walked nine and allowed just 26 hits — holding opponents to a .148 batting average and .244 on-base percentage.
