High School Team Throws 3 No-Hitters In 6 Games

1

Clovis West High School baseball coach Kevin Patrick knew he had a lot of pitching talent going into the season. He just didn't know the school, located in Fresno, Calif., was on its way to becoming No-Hitter High. When J.D. Salles struck out the last batter during a tournament victory, it was Clovis West's third no-hitter in the first six games this season. The three pitchers who threw no-hitters – Salles, Sean Silva, and Jared Lee – are Division I prospects. (Salles has signed with Fresno State, and Lee will play for UNLV. Silva has not decided on a school.) Moreover, since none of the pitchers played football last fall, the entire pitching staff was able to work during the offseason and fall ball on mechanics with pitching coach Shawn Hannah, a former pitcher with the Detroit Tigers.
