I know I'm Covington Catholic biased, but Luke Maile has to be top 5 without a doubt.

I think he has them in alphabetical order..

Engineer,

I thought you top lists for teams had some strengths. Some of the players on this list I know, some I do not. Would you be able to make a brief note of the players on your list with their strengths and what qualifies them to be a "top 20" player?

 

Thanks.

I would be interested to know where these young men are planning on attending college, provided they are seniors and/or have had offers.

Pretty solid list. I almost think you have to include Bowles over McCarthy, but McCarthy is a beast. What about the kid from Manual? Turpin from Anderson County is pretty solid as well.

I think Jeff Embree © from Danville should be on the list.

If he was named "Luke Aile" he would be.

Colby Lawson - McCreary Central. Hit .559 last year with 52 hits and 43 RBI's. Selected to East all stars. Batted just under .400 with summer Legion team. He has started as Central catcher for three years. Defence - .997.

Eric Craft - Greenup County (SS)

This is a tough topic. I think it is really hard to determine. Players play in different regions (i.e. different competition levels). Many play out of position because of the need of their high schools. Many times I will here how good a player is in high school and then see them in a travel or AAU situation and they are only average. I have also seen the reverse scenario where a player is very good in an AAU situation but only average in high school. I do concur that that is an excellent list of players noted above but there are several very good players left out.

Drew Freeman of Estill Co. has to be on this list. He has committed to UK and hit over .500 last year and I believe I read on here last year he led the state in HR's also. The kid is a legit 6'3", 220, strong as a bull, and left handed hitter and pitcher. Any list without him isn't worth looking at IMO.
