Sharp created a stir when he reportedly threw in the mid-90s and touched 98 mph in an Oklahoma state 3-A playoff game in mid-May. Morris HS lost that contest 1-0 to Sperry HS, ending its season and any chance for scouts to see Sharp in any further game action. He's very raw on the mound and more thrower than pitcher, but he's also extremely athletic and very projectable at 6-foot-6 and 205 pounds. He has a scholarship to play quarterback at Central Oklahoma, a NCAA Division II program, but is believed to be very interested in turning pro.
