Looks like NewCath top 2 pitchers will be sophomore Jared Iles and senior owen workman. New Cath has some talented sophomores and juniors ... Should be a competitive year for NewCath!! Go Breds!

 

Really??? I thought Schneider and Harris both threw the ball fairly well last year did they not?

harris not even playing this yr!! Schneider is a solid player will be a leader on the team!! I'm thinking ncc will surprise alot of teams this year!!

Harris is strictly doing track from what I gather.

I would say the three mentioned are a good start to a rotation. I think I read where Rom had a good showing at a PBR event, but until Rom gets a little varsity time under his belt, I would say there is 4 or 5 teams in the region with a little stronger top 3.

I don't know if Highlands offense can step up like last season. I would like to see how the rotation responds if they don't have the big offensive leads .

Is the correct spelling Rom or Rohm ? I have seen it both ways.

 

 

Who are those 4 or 5 teams with a better top 3 in the rotation? and who are these pitchers?

 

Pitching is always the most important ingredient to success in baseball. Having 3 "studs" is very important in the regional 3 game format.

I would agree pitching is very important to be successful.

The teams that I feel that will start the season with a little stronger top 3 would be Beechwood, Boone, Cooper, Cov Cath and Ryle. The 5 teams listed are pretty senior heavy and the experience will pay off in the early part of the season.

 

Beechwood - Will have a starting lineup with about every kid that can pitch. I see Beechwood's top three as Fieger, Combs, and I would say Rowe. They also have Stringer, Bankemper, and Slusher who pitch.

Boone Co - Has 12 seniors, 10 who pitch. Boone's top 3- Purnell, Dahms, Elmore

Ryle- Has a strong senior class as well. Ryle's top 3 - Ziegelmeyer, Billig, Kirschler

Cooper - I was thinking had a heavy senior class w/ good exp pitching but have heard there might be trouble in Union and lost several seniors. That leaves me with Friend and Turner, can't come up with the third. Any help out there from the Cooper base ?

Cov Cath - Always seems to have a strong 3.

The ninth region will see some strong pitching this year, but which teams will have the full package with great defense and strong offense.

Cooper will have a one of the top number 1 and 2 pitchers. After that it is up in the air. Their issue will be offense, their top two hitters did not return. Other seniors decided to not return either. Read into that what you will.

Cooper' s current starting rotation is Zach Friend Sr. Hunter Turner Sr. Brendan Reid So. And Conner Phillips So. Phillips is a transfer from Kansas. Reid plays for 16u Midland Tomahawks.

Friend and Turner are both really good and can shut down anybody's lineup on any given day. I'm sure Reid and Phillips are very good also. The 33rd will be a battle just like it is every year.

If I'm thinking of the right kid, Brendan has also played catcher for Cooper JV, correct?

Bilig from Ryle moved to Nevada last year but they are stacked at pitching with only 3 kids that do not pitch on the varsity squad

When is everybody's first game ? Boone has one scheduled this Saturday and I thought I seen a team ( Ryle ? ) with a game scheduled on Wed. Wed might be good, but the rain moves in Thur and Fri.

Ludlow has a scrimmage vs Holmes tomorrow at Meinken. Looking forward to seeing the new field!

Well, you have Friend and Turner for sure. As for others, not sure some will do very well at varsity. I see a lot of bombs headed out of the park this year. They don't have a lot of varsity experience, easily rattled.

Yes. That's him. Loves playing anywhere but catcher. However, may make him a good coach someday.

Good kid. I enjoy talking to him.
