If you're referring to the eighth grader,I'm sure he's a good ballplayer. I'ts just that I thought this was for juniors and seniors. Actually there are quite a few good young players around the region,maybe they should do something seperate for them. And as for the rest of the choices, I believe a player's coach can nominate any player they choose and the other coaches vote on the nominations(or at least I think that's how it works). It is a matter of opinion and I'm sure some coaches' relationships with each other sometimes influence decisions, but for the most part they get it right. A couple of things I don't understand though, is not choosing another catcher or two. Only two were used this year as opposed to 4-5 last year. There may have been a couple chosen that just didn't choose to play. Several pitchers were used also,but there were some good pitchers who didn't pitch at all. Overall,I'd say the coaches did a pretty good job of choosing,everybody got some playing time(some a little more than others) and both games were won.
