I guess I can understand the pick of Lucas for catcher on the first team since Halls has been just tough as can be the last couple of years and his numbers, but Dalton hit well over .600 right up until the first of May...how does the leading hitter in the entire area, top home run hitter and fourth-best RBI man in Class AA in the area not make it to the first team somehow espeically when they're putting 6 infielders on the team?? How does that make any sense?

[redupset]

Three infielders from Bearden ????

If Farragut does not win the State, Lucas would be player of the year.

I'd guess there's a bias toward picking players from AAA teams.

 

11 of the first teamers come from AAA programs.

 

For the most part AAA is much deeper across the Knoxville area. There are some good AA clubs, but not nearly as many as AAA. A ball is even more lacking.

 

Just look at the relative success in postseason. West and Middle Tennessee are more competitive at the A and AA levels.

 

Because of this I'd say players from A and AA programs have to do a lot more to get noticed. This is not to say that there aren't outstanding players at those levels. However it's easier for a "stud" to accumulate some big stats when the overall competition is weaker.

 

Oftentimes there are a number of deserving players left off an "all-star" team. There are only so many slots available. Also, some deserving players get omitted because they cannot put up the numbers or get recognition due to player for a mediocre to bad team.
