East By North

Walled Lake Northern's gleaming gem on the diamond aka senior Brennan Williams has committed to Eastern Michigan University for his college baseball.

Williams (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) is a righty who plays in the outfield, as well as at first base. He pitches, too.

The Eagles of EMU have gotten itself one sizzling sleeper of a Blue-Chip talent if you ask me.

Everything about this kid's game is big. He's got a big arm from right field and a cannon when toeing the slab. His bat speed and power at the plate is eyebrow-raising to say the least. At a Prep Baseball Report-sponsored showcase earlier this month, BDUB went HAM and delivered a HUGE performance in front of scores of scouts. Does the term PRIMETIME mean anything to you?>

Last spring, he hit over 400 with 32 RBI and boasted an ERA of 1.76.

EMU went 28-29 in 2013.
