14th region all star team?

If you're referring to the eighth grader' date='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.[/quote']

 

Yes, he is a good player. And coaches do get some nominations right. But, sometimes it's just wrong. I can name a couple of players that were wrong. And all coaches may just as well not vote, because the "good ol boy" coaches vote who they want in. This year, they just got lucky. JMO.
