Top pitchers for 2013???

**Bluebirdman** · Aug 28, 12, 03:55 PM

I know Cain from NCC is solid,Mains form Conner is strong Tiberi of course who else is coming back that could make a impact???

**Spartan79** · Aug 28, 12, 08:00 PM

Suchanek from BW. Addison Brown from Lloyd. CCH has a nice one coming back but can't think of his name.

**Show Stopper** · Aug 28, 12, 08:00 PM

Clinton Hollon will be the best in state by far, the kid is a absolute stud. Jordan Martin, Ray Everett and Jordan Pike will also be some of the top pitchers from the 10th.

**Bluebirdman** · Aug 28, 12, 08:28 PM

Didnt see Suchanek throw last year.Did have a chance to see Brown a couple times.I have to say was not impressed with what I saw.

**Clyde** · Aug 28, 12, 08:37 PM

Didn't someone post that Tibieri is not going to pitch next season?

**Spartan79** · Aug 29, 12, 10:00 AM

4-1 spring record and 7-1 summer record. I guess you must be his bad luck charm if you've seen him "a couple" of times.

So far... you're down on Mullins, Lloyd coaches, Brown, Scott hitters and I'm sure the list will go on. All opinions are welcome on BGP, some more legit than others.

I probably spent more time responding to the comment(s) than necessary. Enough said....

Sorry wasnt trying to be DOWN on anybody just giving a honest opinion.So calling Scott hitters average is being down????? and questioning coaches decisions to leave a kid in who was spent is being down?? I see your handle Juggersleuth humm maybe your his uncle or coach perhaps lol.Maybe my opinion of the young man is not as biased as yours.

You called the Scott hitters, "Average, at best" so its kind of hard to see that as a neutral or positive comment

I didn't give an opinion, I just gave a basic stat.

The threads you are commenting in are about top pitchers, top hitters, top teams, etc. Why not just talk about the thread topic instead of giving your negative opinion on other peoples positive comments.

Oh ok sorry.Is this better I agree the Scott hitters are great.And I think Brown will win the Cy Young some day lol.So here is my opinion on the thread.
Top 3 pitchers for 2013
1. Cain from NCC
2. Maines from Conner
3.Tiberi from Holy Cross---- if he decides to pitch.
please take note im a Highlands fan and didnt put any of our kids on the list.....
and as far as stats go big deal they can be padded by throwing a kid in easy spots

Out of the kids I have seen Pitch these would be my tops, not discounting the ones I didn't see. Don't want to get anything started.

Brown - Lloyd (Senior, has strong arm and good command)
Suchanek - Beechwood (Junior, very strong arm and good command)
Maines - Conner (Senior, has strong arm and good command)
Ganns - Boone (Junior, very strong arm and but needs some work on a breaking ball)
Dunn - Cooper (Junior, very strong arm, very good breaking stuff, needs to attack zone more)
Hoard - Ryle (Senior, strong arm, with very good breaking stuff)

The Juniors out of this list I would say have the strongest arms overall and with think they would be close to mid 80's consistantly. Top outs for them would be 86-87. Dunn has topped out as high as 90. I would say the Seniors listed would be close to mid 80's also, just don't know if they have the arms the Juniors listed do.

I need to get out more to see some of these other kids Cain and Tiberi.

Please remember these are just opinions base off what I have seen of these particular kids.

Of the pitchers you listed.It is a good list indeed.You left out the top 2 pitchers for sure in Cain and Tiberi.
1.Cain has above average fastball and good changeup.Throws strikes and attacks the zone hard for sure the best senior in the area.Fastball mid 80
2.Tiberi may not pitch this year but has a strong arm good control and nice breaking ball.Fastball high 80,s
3. Maines. Strong arm a bit of a head case on the mound but is getting better with that with age.Good big game pitcher with nice changeup.Sometimes can walk too many.fastball mid 80,s
4. Brown strong arm but not good control can over power a weak team but cant seem to win the big game.Too many walks also fastball low to mid 80,s

Agree on Trey Ganns. Kid can be really good this year. Hard thrower and a lefty, right?

You need to get out and see Cain.Without a doubt the best senior in the region.Just has great composer on the mound.He is in our district and I have seen him since he was a freshman.Also Maines if he can control his emotions can be very effective.Hoard has a great curveball but sometimes can get a little wild.Dunn from Cooper has a great fastball but a good hitter can adjust.Brown from Lloyd has a good arm but his breaking and off speed stuff are weak and he cant get a good hitter out.Remember these are just opinions of what I have seen.

**Jimmy Olson** · Sep 28, 12, 09:59 PM

I agree with getting out and seeing Cain. Maines, Hoard and Brown are the other Seniors which I feel IMO are not as good as the Juniors I mentioned. With Dunn being the only Junior you mentioned, the fastball is up there, but his breaking ball is sick. You must not be aware of it, so he would be much harder to hit, even to a good hitter.
