CAN’T TOUCH THIS (CEDAR PARK, UWIFFS)
TEXAS

Mark Austria currently receives much of the accolades thrown in Can’t Touch This’ direction (justifiably so) but Can’t Touch This are far from a one-man team. Matthew Austria is already a solid 2nd or 3rd string pitcher along with a capable hitter and Nolan Brown has the potential to form a lethal one-two pitching combination with Mark for years to come. Brown did not see much pitching action in 2021 – it can be difficult to get the ball out of Mark’s hand – but when he did, he showed off velocity and stuff that belies his age. Still very young – Brown will play the 2022 season at just 16 years of age – he has tremendous upside and with more experience it is not far fetched that he could reach the point where Can’t Touch This is able to utilize Nolan and Mark interchangeably throughout a tournament. It is not uncommon for a team to start with an ace pitcher and develop another one more slowly behind him, which could potentially happen down in Round Rock.
