Yarbrough brings a .667 winning percentage to a Northeast Tigers program who sported no left-handed pitchers on last year's team
As of April 24, 2007, the time of Yarbrough's signing with NEMCC, the high school senior sported a 4-2 record on the mound for the Muscle Shoals Trojans who were 20-8 on the season overall. The 6’2”, 200 lb hurler had faced 151 batters, given up 10 earned runs, struck out 32 batters, and given up no home runs, good enough to compile a 1.10 ERA
Coach Kent Farris- “Blake is also a member of the football team. He has gotten a late jump on baseball but should be able to catch up quickly this spring. Blake is a left handed pitcher who has an opportunity to contribute immediately.”
