Here is my week two installment of College Spotlight for 2013. This week I am looking at Nolan Earley of South Alabama and Trent Swart of Duke.
Senior outfielder Nolan Earley of South Alabama is out of Anderson High School in Anderson, IN. Earley has been the hot bat to lead South Alabama to a perfect 9-0 start this season. Through nine games he is hitting .448/.605/.655 with 0 HR, 14 RBI, 12 R, 0 SB and 12 BB. Drawing multiple walks in five games is showing good plate discipline. As a junior last season he hit .318/.418/.479 with 6 HR, 35 RBI, 44 R, 5 SB in 56 games. Although he's cooled in his last two games I think he and South Alabama have a successful season ahead.
LHP Trent Swart is a sophomore out of La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, CA. After starting the season with a good no decision effort against power house Florida Swart shut down Bucknell in his second outing limiting them to two hits over seven innings in the 9-0 victory. His line for the game was 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 0 BB, 10 K in 88 pitches. For the season he is 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA, 14 K, 0.54 WHIP in 13.0 IP over 2 games. As a freshman last season he was 4-8 with a 4.28 ERA, 76 K, 1.52 WHIP in 73.2 IP over 14 games. He is in the mold of former Duke pitcher Marcus Stroman but throwing from the other side of the mound.
