Good to see 4 players from the 16th region on the list. Congrats to those young men.

Some good players on this list.

There are some people on here who shouldn't be and some people missing who should be. Some good players are mentioned though. Gonna be a good season.

Hard to believe that there isn't another CCH player mentioned as well as other 9th region kids.

I would have to agree. Not having Isler and even Darner in there is questionable. And I too thought there would be more from the 9th region. I mean no slight to Mark Kelly and AJ Smith, but I can think of many others better than them that were left off.

 

But nevertheless, it's going to be a great baseball season. Especially up here in NKY! So glad it's here..

I couldn't agree more. The Smith kid is legit he is a division 1 player signed already with Morehead (I Think). I think a lot of this is a thing that if a coach likes you you will have some ink, if they don't like you then you have to get out and do your own recruiting to get what you want or sometimes deserve.

Good luck to all !!

I believe Smith is going to Murray State, but yeah he is a good pitcher. But not the best up here in NKY, which makes me scratch my head at how some of these players were picked. I'm just excited for the season to begin!

I am not 100% for sure but normally any player that has signed a D1 scholarship automatically makes this list unless coaches don't submit the name and/or coaches are not a member of the KHSBCA. However, when dealing with this many players, it's easy to leave someone off.

Looking at it, that makes sense. Thanks!

Just curious, who is better than Smith?????

Smith was signed for his "potential" of turning into a very good pitcher. He is a big tall kid that could stronger during his next four year, but he at this moment (IMO) he is not even close to being the third best NKy pitcher.

 

You must understand that I am speaking of a pitcher not a thrower. Smith throws but at this moment he isn't an outstanding pitcher yet, but he has the size and as thus has what some College coaches want and or are looking for....

Thank you, you probably stated it better than I could. I believe Murray looked at Smiths size and realized that he has potential to be a really good pitcher one day.

Who did Mark Kelly sign with?
