Overview
- The 6-foot-9 senior worked three hitless innings with 34 pitches, 23 for strikes, in his first start in more than 600 days.
- He fanned nine and hit three batters in the third, with one run crossing before he exited after three innings.
- Roughly 50 scouts clustered behind the backstop with radar guns to watch the high-profile prospect’s comeback.
- Hopkinton deployed eight pitchers in short stints, built a 5-2 lead, and won 6-5 in eight innings after Bishop Feehan’s late rally.
- The appearance capped a long recovery from a sprained UCL and internal-brace surgery that sidelined him from mound work for 608 days.
