I think Tanner Perkins from Rockcastle is the best player in the Region this year. He's definately the best pitcher and can really hit it as well. The Rockets are a threat to beat any team in the Region with him on the mound.

I'll get it started with a Boyle Co. Nominee. Garrick Whittle has got it done both as a pitcher and a hitter this season. A Morehead St. signee, his pitching stats are: 6-3 (with a couple of tough no-decisions where he left with a lead), a 2.75 ERA and 86 K's in 56 innings.

 

At the plate, he is leading the team in most categories, hitting around .450, with 7 home runs, 10 doubles, 2 triples and 37 RBI's. His slugging % is above .800

 

He has been an all-around player for the Rebels, splitting time in the outfield and first base when not on the mound.

Lincoln Co.

 

Brandon Weir, can pitch & hit well... But he is only a Junior, so we will see if he gets any consideration.

You could make a case for a few different guys, but none of them are in the same class as Tanner Perkins. Watched him pitch once this spring and he didn't throw a pitch under 88 untill the 5th inning.

Duran Elmore from Danville does have the stats to be considered. Batting .411 with 39 SB's, and two Hr's. 6-4 on the mound with a 1.29 era, 88 k's in 63 innings.
