Who determines the all tourney team or what is the criteria? There were some other players with some Stellar performances as well. These are well-deserved picks don't get me wrong. I'm just interested in the process itself.
Risky move putting a D3 (Otterbein commit) pitcher up against a D1 (Marshall Commit). JC's 2nd pitcher is a D2 (KWC Commit). Why would you throw off like that?
I would have to agree with Clyde. I think that the coaching staff will match up the right pitcher against the right team with a not so narrow lens. Both are unproven in State play. Neither Rom nor Doty has pitched a college inning and both have plenty to prove with the upcoming opportunity. You can't really expect one or the other to go a full seven (although it would be nice). Someone has to be on tap as any pitcher (D1, D2, D3 commit) will be on a short leash. I say that you will see them both unless the Birds jump on Johnson Central early and build a nice cushion.
Cord...looking forward to that match-up. Sounds like some good baseball.
However, the big prize is still out there for 2017 and after years of watching baseball in the 9th region there is one thing that you can count on, Baioni has a plan...
Good Luck, Birds!
Sherm is a great kid who could play at the next level IMO. Not sure if he is but he would be a great addition to a college level team. Great team player and competitor. Hats off to Sherm.
It doesn't look like blown saves are tracked on Max Preps. However, it sounds like Rom would get 2 wins in as many days unless Dreves gets a W for being the pitcher in the 4th inning of today's game? Is that how it works?
