What was the starting lineup if you know?

I've pitched on a couple for practice and such but to use in a game is a stretch. Pick offs are pretty much impossible to perform with those things.

Agreed. I don't think SK should be in the top ten. They really only have Lawrence this year.

Kid is going to be a stud.

Fieger/Stringer vs. Jones?

He's a better baseball player than he is a basketball player but he loves basketball more than baseball. I'm not sure if he would want to play two sports in college. I think he would rather focus on one at that level instead of two.

Past success doesn't equal success for the next season. SK lost a lot from last season. I think #6 is a little high for this SK team to start the season.

Pangallo is a standout on the field. Problem is he loves being on the court more. He'll probably continue playing basketball instead of baseball in college.

Sounds like a great game.

I think you could see Noah or Pusateri in center while the other plays left and Seeney playing right. Sowder could then DH for Pusateri. I agree with Ohmer playing at short. Trame will probably be playing short while he pitches. I haven't seen this kid Man in person yet so I don't know where he'll be. If he's as good Fan says then you could see Man playing third, with Ohmer at short,Trame at second and Seay at first. Or you could even see Man at first, Trame at third, Ohmer at short and Seay in center. This would leave second base open to Wilder or one of the under classman. Second base and that third outfielder will be interesting to watch over the seasonl. Coach Trame might have to experiment a little with his lineups. He usually has a great defensive team so I'm sure he'll figure it out. Pitching for the Eagles definitely has some quality. Seay, Trame, Ohmer and Lehkamp all return with varsity pitching. So the starting core should be good. Quantity is something that the Eagles don't have though. Sowder not being able to pitch definitely hurts them, and again, haven't seen Man pitch, so I can't really comment on him. They will be using a lot of different arms this season on the mound, mostly underclassmen. Expect to see Moran, Moore, Pusateri, and Lucas come in to relief. Hitting might be a problem now. Sowder gets on base a lot and is able to put contact on the ball well, but because of his injury, that might derail him this season. Back is a speedy kid as well. He can hit for contact and even put a bunt down to get on base to make a him an on base threat. Ohmer, line drive hitter and get on base. Probably will be the two hole hitter after Back. Trame will be in the three hole. Trame definitely has a lot of pop in his bat and has one of smoothest swings I've seen. Batting cleanup will probably be Hughes, who hasn't gotten much talk about on here. He's a good defensive catcher who has some power in his bat. After that it gets a little tricky. Seay and Sowder(if healthy) will probably bat fifth and sixth. I really couldn't tell you who will bat seventh through ninth. I do expect a good season out of the Eagles this year. I do realize they lost Spata, Castleman, Brinkman, Gay, Kinney and bunch of other good seniors. But they do return key players who have Varsity experience in Trame, Ohmer, Seay, Hughes, Back, and Sowder. It might be a little bumpy in the beginning of the season as they will have some holes to fill, but I expect Trame to have them ready before Districts.

Trame will not be playing shortstop. Trame will either be playing. Second or Third Base. Seay will start at first. Don't expect Smith, Morgan or Wilder to pitch much, if at all.

Forgot about him, kid has a cannon. It's between him and Hackworth for POY.

Expect a down year from SK. With that being said, expect Lawrence and Murray to have good years. Roberts might be playing a lot of underclassmen this year.

Hackworth will probably be the best player in the region. Expect big things from him this year.

Tell me more about Commodore, how good do you think he can be?

Best pitching staff in Northern Kentucky, and it isn't close.

St. Henry lost a lot. I'm predicting them to struggle this year.

Is King still there?

Doesn't Ryle already have a pretty good quarterback as a sophomore or am I wrong?

Btw, did Ross play any Varsity his freshman year?

I would base it from the success he had last year at the varsity level as a freshman. Is he Ross right now, no? But I look at him and the skills he has and I see someone with a ceiling a little higher than Ross'

Meant to say that he is the goalie for the Eagles. Soccer is his favorite sport but I think baseball might have the higher ceiling for him if he works on it.

Yes, he's the goalie for the Eagles. Soccer is his favorite sport but

I would say about a third of the season in last year, Seay became the consistent number two option for the Eagles.
