Iolani Baseball hasn’t won an ILH title in 27 years. Likely a product of the extreme nepotism coupled with the ova ratted “Sons of Iolani”. Too much hype Look (AD no pun intended) at the class of 2019 neva even make the states lost 8 out of their last 9 games. Flat tya Miyahira pimped by Fat Boy Hull. Lose money.

Coach Jay was an awesome coach who got sick of Iolani politics. He would not bend to their will and so he was replaced. That’s why Iolani may never return to baseball glory. He was one of the best coaches I had and when my kids are old enough, I’d want Coach Jay to coach them too. Jadon seems like a pretty humble kid. That’s a testament to his father.

I remember when his dad was the Iolani Coach. What happened to his position at his Alma Mater?

To be transparent and upfront, when you state their speed, could you clarify if the mph you listed is “consistently” or is a maxed out speed. BIG difference between a pitcher throwing a couple pitches that hit 90mph (where they even strikes?) versus throwing consistently at 85mph. Seen a lot of these guys mentioned pitch and I would say none of them are throwing 90+ with command. If they were then MLB scouts would be in the stands every game. Not taking anything away from any of them, just wish clarity would be part of these articles.
