Boys Athlete of the Week: Sander Beck, Severn, baseball

Beck pitched a no-hitter Saturday to lead Severn to a 3-0 upset of No. 13 Severna Park in the Easter Tournament, which the Falcons hosted. Beck, a 6-foot-2 senior right-hander who has signed with Maryland, struck out eight, including the side in the bottom of the seventh. He hit three batters and walked three. Beck's fastball was in the high 80s to low 90s and was complemented by an excellent changeup and knuckle-curve that kept one of the area's better hitting teams off balance. Beck, 6-1 last spring for the Admirals, is coming off of an outstanding fall with the Oriolelanders showcase team and has drawn the attention of pro scouts.

Others considered // Matt Bell, St. Mary's, lacrosse; Eric Franklin, Archbishop Curley, outdoor track and field; John Hodges, Northeast, baseball; Ryan Kemp, Mount St. Joseph, baseball; Patrick Mull, Fallston, lacrosse; Curtis Simon, Perry Hall Christian, baseball.
