Prep sports roundup: Harvard-Westlake’s Duncan Marsten fans 10, gives up no hits

“Electrifying.”

That was the word being used to describe the pitching of Harvard-Westlake senior right-hander Duncan Marsten on Wednesday. He struck out the first six batters he faced with a fastball reaching 97 mph. He struck out 10 in six innings without giving up any hits. He also had a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning of Harvard-Westlake’s 2-1 Mission League win over Sierra Canyon.

Marsten has shown he’s completely recovered from a back injury and Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for two years. Now he has become a legitimate first-round draft prospect. He needed to be at his best because Sierra Canyon pitcher Ethan Montes matched him for five innings.

In the seventh, Sierra Canyon got its first hit, an RBI double by Mikhal Johnson off closer Bryce Rainer. Two walks by Rainer gave Sierra Canyon a chance to tie the game, but he struck out the final two batters for the save.

“Wow. What a performance. Just the culmination of all the work that young man has put in,” coach Jared Halpert said of Marsten. “He’s got a healthy body and a wonderful opportunity.”
