Who has the highest batting average so far?

[sixtyfeetsix]

Owsley County has a catcher (Jason Bowling) hitting .750. He is 15-20 in the 6 games we have played. Oh, and he has also hit 3 HR's in those 6 games. He is off to a GREAT start. Great kid too.

Holy crap.

Noone can legitimately hit that high for a season, a lot of coaches score reaching on error as a hit. It is impossible to hit that many balls in the hole. I am not saying this kid isnt doing it because for 20 at bats it is possible. But for 150 at bats it is impossible. I hope he stays hot.

 

I am seeing this same thing at the college level, if they get on it is a hit. I as a coach would want to see accurate averages and the roe's factor into on base which is relevant as well.

 

I had a Dad two years ago say his kid hit 500 plus. I know the kid if he played at Pikeville where the stats are accurate then he might have hit 200. I coached this kid in rec ball. Also playing at weak schools you will never see someones ace. Pikevilles all time leading hitter hit something like .469, his name was Chad Childers in 1999. Pikeville has had its share of success and that is phenominal considering he faced everyones ace. My point is even Chad wouldnt have hit as well if he played Louisville and Lexington schools everyday.

 

Batting averages from different programs are not comparable.

I will agree with Buck Master, but as of right now Jason Bowling is hitting .750. Next week will tell the tell on his average we play some really tough teams. He is a very good hitter I don't care where he played maye not .750 but way up there.

[GreenMachine]

He has been intentinally walked at least 5 to 6 times already this season

How big are the fields he plays on?

[GreenMachine]

He hit one deep to center field which was caught, was hit by a pitch, and walked.

How many hits did he get against Lee Co.?

I think that is what Green Machine is trying to say. He and the Owls have a chance to redeem themselves next week against the Bobcats. Jason is a 4 year starter, so he's been around the block a few times. He's a very good catcher, pitcher, and hitter.

Tyler Turner was hitting .877 after 3 games with all legitimate hits. However, after today's game against Paintsville I am sure it dropped some as he went 1 for 3.

Before today's game Daniel Pugh was hitting .692. Today I think he went 1-3.
