Palo Verde grad Fallwell blowing opponents away at JC levelย 

Tyler Fallwell, the Starโ€™s 2014 high school baseball Player of the Year, is making a strong bid to become a first-team junior college All-America pitcher. The Palo Verde High grad, who led the Titans to the 2014 state title, entered weekend play leading all of the NJCAA in ERA (0.88). He was 5-1 with 78 strikeoutsย in 61 1/3 innings for Cochise College. If the 6-foot-4-inch pitcher is not drafted in June, he has signed to play at Houston.ย
