DAILY NEWS INVITATIONAL\Trosper prospers as Calabasas wins.


Byline: Daily News

Tanner Trosper, a senior right-hander who possesses one of the area's best arms, threw a one-hitter Thursday to help Calabasas High School Calabasas High School is a four-year high school, freshman-senior, in Calabasas, California, United States.

Calabasas High School, which serves portions of Calabasas and the West Hills, Los Angeles, California section of Los Angeles, is one of three high schools in the Las
 upset No. 6-rated El Camino Real El Camino Real (Spanish for The Royal Road or The King's Highway) was the name of a series of pre-automobile highways linking the various New World colonies of Spain:

 4-2 in the Daily News Invitational at Calabasas.

The only hit Trosper allowed was a fourth-inning, two-run home run by Shaun Fishman. Trosper struck out nine and walked four. It was a gutsy performance by a player who desperately wanted a win because he knew virtually all the El Camino Real players from his days in the Westhills Pony program.

"I wanted it real bad," he said.

At times, Trosper can be dominating. At other times, he can be terribly wild. But last week, Trosper and Calabasas co-coach Scott Drootin reviewed his pitching form on video, found a flaw in his delivery, corrected it and now he hopes he'll be set for the rest of the year.

"I was over-rotating in my leg kick and it was making me throw across my body," Trosper said.

Throwing repeated curveballs, Trosper was able to keep the Conquistadores (3-1) off balance. In fact, El Camino Real players seemed a bit stunned afterward. They had outscored their three previous opponents 41-5.

After Fishman's home run gave El Camino Real a 2-0 lead, Calabasas cut its deficit in half on Darin Reisman's fourth-inning home run. The Coyotes (1-1-1) took the lead in the fifth on Josh Harris' two-run single and Trosper's RBI RBI
