Issaquah Eagles junior right-handed pitcher Brady Liddle doesn’t shy away from being the center of attention on the baseball diamond.

Liddle loves having the ball in his hand in pressure situations on the rubber.

“There is no better feeling. Every pitch depends on you. You are in control of the game,” Liddle said. “You just got to attack every hitter, get ahead in the count and you got to get people out. I just pound the (strike) zone. If they hit, they hit it. I just want to throw up as many zeros as I can on the scoreboard to help this team win and make a state run again.”

Liddle said his fastball hovers in the low to mid 80s (miles per hour) range.

“I like to use my slider and changeup,” Liddle said.

Liddle enjoys playing for legendary Issaquah head baseball coach Rob Reese. Reese in his 26th season leading the Eagles.

“He is awesome and is a great coach. He demands a lot out of you but also cares about you,” Liddle said.

Recently the Issaquah Reporter had an opportunity to ask Liddle some questions about his life away from the baseball field.
