Kuebbing (St. Henry), Ganns (Boone Co.) and Dunn (Cooper) all threw the ball very well. The other highest speed of the day was 84 from 4 kids which Kuebbing was one of the 4.

That's great to hear. 3 very good pitchers all in the Boone county area says a lot about the area's baseball talent.

 

I can't wait for the season, my boy will be Dunn's battery mate this year. They have played together since 4th grade and am so glad they get to play all through HS together, plus his parents are awesome, love hanging out with them at games.

No love for Brossart's Nate Verst out there???

 

11-0 last season including wins over Harrison County in the regional finals and Louisville St. Xavier in the state quarterfinals as a sophomore???

Not flashy nor overpowering, BUT throws strikes, has great location, is a fierce competitor and is a winner.

Played for Midland this summer, I believe.

Sophomore Mitchell Jones at Highlands really blossomed onto the scene last season and I would expect him to continue to push towards the top of the food chain as far as 9th region pitchers.

There are some very good pitchers in this area. I just don't know if anyone has the pitching staff Cooper has this year. Collins, Dunn, Smith and Lawhorn are 4 very strong starters. 2 Righties and 2 Lefties and then they have some pretty decent releivers also. Maybe I'm missing a team, but I just don't know of any that can go that deep in quality starters. Scary thing is out of the 4 only 1 is a senior.

They also have a couple of younger arms too. Hawthorne and McMahon are pretty good pitchers too. Hawthorne is the one I can't wait to see, see how he has matured since last year on the mound.

From what I've heard the Hawthorne kid has had to deal with injuries quite a bit and I've heard the McMahon kid it pretty solid. I would just have to question both of them at the Varsity level. I thought they had at least a couple other lefties and a few more righties to come in for mop up duties that actually played last year.

Both finished the season and went into the playoffs on varsity. It all comes down to how much they improved through summer ball I guess.

nate verst played fall ball for midland.

Ludlow has 2 seniors coming back who are both pretty good. Left handed Chris Camarina and right handed Timmy Helmer. Both kids pitched well last year.

Am I missing something. No one mention Mitchell Jones from Highlands. SO with a great fastball. Above average as a freshman last year. Throws 80+ and has a great future in the sport. Will lead the birds again this year on the mound.

You're missing post #35 of this thread.

Jordan Pike of Scott will probably not be pitching this year. Had elbow surgery a month ago.

I wouldn't say probably, I would say no way. Good kid, bad break.
