I've been reading through a lot of threads here to see what kind of info is posted. I like some of the post-game rundowns that parents (?) are posting. Some good info in some of those.

 

The friendly back and forth on whose team is better, etc. is fun for those involved but I don't have a kid playing so there's not much to say there except to give analysis on the players I've seen.

 

I'll probably continue reading some but don't want to hurt any kid's/parent's feelings so I'll refrain from too much analysis, especially when I can't honestly say that a particular player is awesome.

 

So many parents look at kids when they're 13/14 years old and project them to be amazing high school players who will get a D1 scholarship. Having played with/against players who played college ball, professional baseball and the NFL, the kids that are truly exceptional are quite obvious. Your son who is batting 7th on his freshman team is probably not going to be the man when his senior year of HS rolls around, and sign with UK. Sorry to burst bubbles but look how many really good players are here in NKY each year and some of them don't play college baseball at all while others sign at really small schools you've never heard of.

 

You want an experiment? Look at the 5 or 6 kids being discussed as POY and track where each goes to college. That will tell you how difficult it is.

 

It's just not me to build up local kids when I don't see the ability there. And so from now on I'll just keep my observations to myself.

Cotton- Miami (Oh) for baseball

Pugh- UC for football

Sexton- He's a junior

Tiberi- He's a freshman

Norton- He's a junior

Will Pugh walk on for baseball too?

 

So there are only 2 seniors good enough to be considered for POY? That's surprising, at least to me.

 

What's the opinion of Sexton in these parts? I know him a little and obviously I've seen him play a few times the last couple years.

What do you mean whats the opinion on Sexton?

Just curious what others here think about his game. I've only seen Dixie a couple times this spring.

 

I'm not trying to bait anyone, just looking for honest opinion. Obviously folks here know his stats. Has anyone seen him play?

 

(and sorry, I don't know which posters are fans of which teams...i haven't been on here long enough.)

He's a good player. You can tell he's one of the more advanced players in NKY. He has a great fastball with an even better breaking ball. His fastball tops out anywhere from 84-87. His hitting this year is exceptional. Here is his stats straight from cincinnati.com.

As you can tell I am a Dixie fan as my son plays for the freshman team. Also I went to Dixie along with some family. Truthfully I love Dixie but I just want to see a good game of baseball. But I will tell you a good player when I see one. Im not biased on players just given what school they go to.

It's ok to be a fan. I value your opinion, especially since you've seen him more than I have recently.

 

I like Tyler quite a bit. In terms of local HS baseball he's very good. I've seen him play the last 2-3 years, primarily in the summer.

 

He hits with power and he's been an outstanding pitcher. He doesn't have great foot speed so 3B/1B would be his logical spot(s) I'd say. I've never seen him play 1B and I'm not sure he has the hands for it. He has the arm for 3B but does he have the glove and side-to-side quickness required to play there in college?

 

Do you have any idea if he's received interest from any colleges?

Pugh is not playing football at UC. That is Nick West. And what about Hoskins from Ryle?

Nice looking team, they definitely got some players. Is this where the top 12th region players play for that age group? Two state titles is also impressive, how is the competition for these tournaments?

My son told me that Tyler said Brescia offered him. Thats the only school as of yet.

I also heard he got offered from Brescia by current Brescia cathcer, Corey Moore.
