NewCath has a heck of a pitcher in senior Shawn Meyer. He will be one of the top pitchers in the 9th this year.

He is good. Throws hard. Who do they have to go with him though?

Jake Samad is a great competitor and has a great pitcher's mentality. I think Jake or Brenon Russell will emerge as Connor's ace, with the other close behind. Brenon's summer season, although not overly extensive, was none the less very impresssive.

He is good. Throws hard. Who do they have to go with him though?

 

I believe they have Jake Cain? NewCath lost a lot of seniors last year and that will hurt them this year.

Any residual shoulder issues for him? At least that's what rumor was - he didn't QB this season because of some shoulder problem.

Have seen Shawn since he was a youngster heck of a pitcher and a great kid.

Newport has Shawn Klass who is not a bad pitcher his self.

The heart of Ryle's staff going into the season will be:

 

Donovan

Hensley

Hempel

Rogers/Hill/Daisuke

and some other as-yet-unknown stud who will step up big time. :lol:

 

 

I heard that Andy Roges is not playing this year? Have you heard that?

Also, Hensley has not pitched in a long time because of grades, have they improved?

What about Tyler O'bryan? Is he healthy and Matt Gorbant? :isurrender:

I heard that about Andy, then heard he was playing. Not sure if he's going to lifting right now or not. I hope he comes out. Nice kid who could provide some meaningful innings.

 

Hensley hasn't pitched high school ball in two years, but he's played in the summer apparently and I've heard he's done well. I've not personally seen him pitch since he was a freshman. He'll be eligible to play this year.

 

Gorbandt should also be competing for some innings. I heard he did very well for JV last season. That is the lefty whose name I couldn't think of earlier. Can't say I'm familiar with O'Bryan.

 

Matt Watson is another potential sleeper. Couldn't play last year due to arm issues. He's healthy now. Odd throwing motion (sidearm bordering on submarine) and really gets the ball to move.

 

Clearly there are plenty of potential arms to draw from. It'll be interesting to see who steps up to be the top 4 or 5.

i remember Matt Watson, he had some nasty stuff and with a odd delivery he made it tough to pick the ball up. Did he play summer ball?

I believe so, but not certain for whom.

You need to add the name of Hellman to their list and this is the correct spelling for Brennan Schlagbaum and while Tommy Arnzen is still rehabilitating his knee, he will be fine by the start of the baseball season. I worked with Tommy today (MLK Day) at the JV basketball practice and he will be a go once the baseball season starts.

I heard that Andy Rogers is not playing this year?

 

Apparently he has not been attending workouts, so very possible he's decided not to play. A shame and I think a mistake on his part.

I'm excited to see what Hensley can do in high school. I know he's played summer ball each of the last two seasons. Any idea what's kept him from playing school ball?

Does Isler fit in the equation anywhere? I have not seen him pitch but if he is anywhere close to his big brother then I would think he has a shot.:idunno:

Sure. I would think he's in the mix of several guys looking to fit into the top 5 or 6 pitching spots. He had some type of knee injury last season that required surgery and I don't think he pitched much (any?) for JV last season. Tough to ask him to compare to big brother since he was one of the better pitchers to come through NKY in a while, but it would certainly be a huge plus if he was.
