Sorry Engineer, and I love that name as an Estill grad, but you are WAAAY TOO metro area biased. You only have three perhaps four kids on your list that play for schools outside of an urban area. Sorry but I think the rest of the state plays some good baseball, not just the teams and players in the metro areas.

fine. it's just a list. nobody's going to have the correct one....just food for thought since most people can't see everyone in the state

just a preliminary list to start some discussion....

 

Brandon Alphin – Bullitt East (P, SS)

Chris Berry – Trinity (SS)

Brandon Boiling - Bryan Station (P)

Jared Clarkson – Shelby County (OF)

Shane Crain – Lexington Christian (IF, P, C)

Tyler Dunaway – Eastern (P)

John Fidanza – Ballard ©

Nick Hawkinson – Apollo (OF, P)

Trey Harper – PRP (P)

Logan Jackson – Tates Creek (C, 3B)

Sam Kidd – Ohio County (P, OF)

Corey Littrell – Trinity (LHP)

Billy Logan – Greenup ©

Luke Maile – Covington Cathloic ©

Zach McCarthy – Bullitt East (OF)

Curtis McCombs – Ballard (P, 3B)

Tanner Perkins – Rockastle Co (LHP)

Gabe Pirtle – Henderson County (OF)

JT Riddle – Western Hills (SS, P)

Cole Sturgeon – Owensboro (OF, LHP)

 

Looks like Bullitt East has some bullits this year!:dancingpa

Eric Craft - Greenup County (SS)

 

I'll have to agree. He's very underrated. He is one of, if not the best hitter on a team that's been full of them for the last 2 or 3 years. He struggled a bit his freshman year, but since then, he has been an extremely tough out.

Andrew Bowling, junior,Trinity High School, projected to start in CF for the Rocks after starting in RF last year. Made varsity debut vs PRP as a freshman, picking up a single. He has a strong arm and is an excellent lefty hitter. Has batted anywhere from 2nd to 5th for Trinity. U of L is showing interest as is the University of Cincinnati. He hustles, throws to the right base, runs well in the outfield and is a good baserunner. He backs up plays and is rarely out of position.

Trevor Gott: Tates Creek P looks to be ace of strong Creek squad

Brandon eggenschwiler: Dunbar OF good lefty stick / started for dunbar for 4 years

Gott should be on the list. He throws gas, smooth shortstop and good hitter.

Did he have a pretty good summer? Who did he play summer ball with?

THS is loaded with outfielders this year. Not sure why Brandon isn't being looked at in CF because he probably has the fastest speed. Andrew is a good kid, struggled alittle last year, but most sophmores do at the varsity level. THS is expecting alot from him this year. Good to see someone thinks Littrell is worthy of being in the top 20 as a junior. Berry had an off year last year, maybe due to injury, but THS will rise or fall based on what he does. Good luck to the Rocks.

Chance Clifton (OF)/ Franklin County is a top player in Central Kentucky.

The more I read this post the more kids I think about that can play at this level. Let me name a few.

 

Cameron Mason

Ryan Messex

Taylor Banks

Brian Hockman

Tyler Wright

Jo Jo Simms

Casey Robinson

Cody Alvey

Jeff Gardner

Anthony Carney

Matt Bowles

 

That takes the list up to about 40 kids and barely includes Lexington. Somebody throw out a Lexington list.

Others I would also like to see.. No particular order

1.Lucas Witt-LCA(O.F)- Great speed(Sub 7), Good arm, great Lead-off.

2.Dalton Henzman-LCA(O.F.)- Great(Sub 7), Strongest arm I have seen (8 P.O. from the OF last year) Great Power.

3.Brandon Boling-Bryan Station(RHP) Great arm strength, variety of pitches, very effective..

Probably could put Michael Buschmann from Henry Clay in there too with Henzman. There are a lot of good players in the state!

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.

 

How many Homeruns did he have last year?

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

 

Luke Maile has also committed to The University of Kentucky.
