Best First Basmen in Middle TN..

[LadyPat27]

I always see things like "best catchers" or "best short-stops"..what about the best first basemen? In your opinion who do you think those girls are around the Middle TN area?

I remember seeing Oakland High School's first baseman, Michelle Ayers, at the Spring Fling this past week and she's very good! She makes plays when they need to be made and she's a very strong player, I haven't seen many other high school girls willing to do the splits for their team..Michelle Ayers has my vote!

The first baseman from Riverdale is awfully good. She hit 4 or 5 homeruns as a junior and has made tons of incredible catches. She definitely has my vote.

It's a little early for me to make comments about players and positions right now. I don't even know who has made some of the teams. But, I will get back with ya in March.

 

Right now, "It's Football Time in Tennessee".

IMHO, is Brittany Herald of Ezell Harding. I know she pitches most of the time, but she is excellant at first base. Good glove and a tall target for the infielders! Played a great first base playing Gold ball this past summer!

Yep, BR is great at first.

I will give props to my teammate Brittany Herald. I know I am very confident throwing the ball across the diamond to her. She is a great first baseman!

Before you start putting down those teams who chose to play in the NSA nationals versus ASA you might want to know that in 16U the Miami Minicanes came in 3rd in the NSA and 5th in the ASA. While the perception is that ASA is heads and shoulders over NSA in competition, the reality is not necessarily the same.

 

For another example, in the final national rankings, the Minicanes ranked 6th while the Mattoon Pride who beat the 'Canes twice to finish 2nd in the NSA were ranked 30th. Hmm...

I think the teams mentioned are all pretty good. There are alot of good teams & good players in Tennessee. I think we should keep building up the image of Tennessee players & teams cause they work hard for all they get. BUT, I DO NOT think we should be putting players down on this board. This forum should not be used to bash other players, they do have feelings, they have a brother/sister, mom/dad just like we do.

 

SLR52 mentions some good points about ASA vs NSA. Sometimes its really hard to judge overall because the location of the tournament or the date of the tournament has alot to do with who goes there. We have played them both several times & they all have good teams that compete for national titles.

 

PS> BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO TIFF B. Good Luck at GT.
