Baseball: Redlands East Valley has impressive one-two punch

It's going to be the year of the pitcher in baseball in 2012, and Redlands East Valley will be right up there with the best when it comes to its starting rotation.

The Wildcats have 6-foot-6 Jackson McClelland, a right-handed Pepperdine signee, and 6-6 Justin Jacome, a left-handed UC Santa Barbara signee.

At a minimum, they should be pretty intimidating standing on a mound.

There's also right-hander Kevin Stevens, headed to Cal Baptist, who throws in the upper 80-mph range.
