Giannette, who is heading into his junior season, has been working on "perfecting how each pitch feels and having the same command with all of the arsenal" along with getting stronger.
What about that arsenal?
"Anthony is a gamechanger for us in our conference," John Cooper coach Mike Williams said. "His fastball sits at 88-89, running it up to 91 with a tight curveball. He will be our No. 1 this year on the mound and will help us make another deep run in the gauntlet of SPC baseball."
When you hear tight curveball, the thought of a power curveball like Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. throws comes to mind. Giannette says his curveball is a power curve and has been developing a slider to add into the mix.
Giannette, who loves watching New York Mets star Noah Syndergaard because of his calm, fluent motion and then aggressiveness to the plate, has high goals for this year.
"My biggest goals at John Cooper this year is to do as much as I can to help the team win in any way possible," Giannette said. "Also, to be able to grow closer to my teammates along with us pushing each other to be the best players that we can be to be able to get that title for Cooper."
