I know most of these guys and they are already playing varsity ball. How will their bat speed reduce between their freshman year and sophomore year. We are not talking guys playing freshman ball and making the jump to varsity. These guys are playing varsity already. Sounds like you or your son has been trumped by one of these guys.

think real hard now about your question (How will their bat speed reduce between their frshman and soph year) /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> THE BALL IS GOING FASTER AND THEY CANT ADJUST, its not the bat slowing down it s the ball speeding up /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> 1 a schools are the where 99.9% freshman start thats why the kids go there and stay away from the big schools so little johnny can still feel special..................lets get real here------Francoeur was legit on his getting called up in high school, not little Johny who s mom and dad work the concession stand.

some arent even from TN /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

 

 

Furthermore, I've seen more "hitters" leave the game by not being able to hit the "hook" than by not hitting the fast ball. I've watched Ooltewah's varsity play several games and they have yet to face a real power pitcher......at least in the games that I've witnessed. I haven't seen anyone throw in the upper 80's all year.

I guess what I'm saying is that most decent high school hitters are going to hit a fast ball. It takes a keen eye and much more skill to hit a curve ball.

I think there are several players from Polk that have been mentioned in area newspapers.

Jared Allen

Michael Hargrove

Tyler Lee

Jake rowland from Meigs County

I believe these players are starting varsity. I think the area has some great freshman. Can't wait to see them in the future.

 

 

I too am familiar with those young men and they are tremendous young players. Hargrove is a hitting machine........

"The List" is NOT in numerical order..........that i m sure of. Why would you put 4 Georgia kids on a Chattanooga List. The players you speak of from Ga are good but theres plenty of Tenn players as well. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Every now and then on this board someone makes a statement that blows my mind. Are you saying pitchers get faster every year. Let me say it slower. These players are already playing varsity. We are not talking about what they are doing in Freshman ball or JV ball. They are playing V A R S I T Y. The ones named are also playing in the highest level not single A ball. I don't see how you think that they will not get better. Please help me understand what you could be meaning. They are facing the best in NET pitching right now. Many of these kids play showcase ball against the best in the nation.

You are right,but some of the names these people are putting up ARE NOT playing varsity.

      school closing in Shelby county

      By TheTruthHurts22 · Posted

      Im more of a Basketball follower than football and like I said we play what we have, there is no going and recruiting or even talking kids into transferring…..and to rebut about Memphis teams in finals I’ve watched Memphis East and Penny Hardaway with the enrollment of a single A team play up and dominate any and all challengers for years! They aren’t the only ones either Mike Miller and son at Germantown put together that super team a couple years ago that ran through the rest of the state! Other teams from Memphis or Chatt or Nash or any large populated area pop up and are relevant out of nowhere every year because they get an influx of talent be it from a new coach or AAU affiliations it happens in football also just like any other sport! I hope these two schools that close join together and get to play the team you support, then you may see it differently! I find it funny some of you think recruiting and resources don’t matter . The county schools get very little funding also but you don’t want to get me started on that part!

      Simmons OUT at GH

      By WaReAgLe3 · Posted

      In a total classless move, Coach Simmons once again shows his true colors. Waits till the day after school is out to let everyone know he is leaving. Fails up to a community college job after a lackluster 2 year span at GH. And do not tell me about the state run that saved a sub .500 season and plenty of whippings by Cookeville and Lebanon.  Looks like the girls job at GH is cursed. Terrible MS program/coaches feeding what is turning out to be a joke of a HS team.
