makeAplay Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 He throws mid to low 80s consistently, and could probably hit 87 on a good day. considering that he is a junior i doubt Vandy has offered. they might be looking, but thats totally different than offering. Well I guess you were not at tonights game. Gant was sitting at 91 most of the game. What did your gun read?? Topped out at 93. Hurts to be wrong doesn't it?

thugster06 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I totally agree, Single A doesn't mean that a kid there that can play well couldn't play at a high level even if you plug him into a big AAA school, you're not assigned to classification based on talent, its simply based on a school's population. Sure a triple A school has an advantage when they have 1500 to 2500 kids to pick from but that doesn't mean a single A team can't have a top tier player. Ever heard of Mikey Minor, ummm lets see, Vanderbilt signee, got first start last year for the uh Atlanta braves after only one year in the minors, and where did he go to school Farragut..no, Riverdale...no, Collierville..no, how bout Forrest High School, yeah little single A, 450 kids Forrest. The other piece of this is that if a small school has a winning tradition they will draw players that want to play for a winning program and they may opt for the small school in their county since these schools usually have the ability to take students due to their size. So while they may not have the player pool to pick from that doesn't mean they can't play with a big school and beat them. Well said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantherfan66 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Funny thing is, Riverside has one single A non-district game this year. That was today, a 20-3 win over Greenfield. They play all double and triple A schools the rest of the way, except district games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be a junior, but he definitely has an "offer" on the table from Vandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingjuice Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Milan beat Gant on March 30th this year 2-1. Caleb Powell(Soph).. outpitched gant and helped himself with a homerun. Milan's Anderson and Powell will be hard to beat at the State Tourn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan's Anderson and Powell will be hard to beat at the State Tourn. 13 k's and four hits, outpitched is a hard term. Especially when the umpires screwed us and they called back a homerun. Either way, what did you say when he got run ruled by d Burg. I guess that leaves you speechless. Gant would beat Milan 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see a caleb powell thread about his 83 mph fastball. And once again as far as I know a homerun being called back is not an excuse, it's a fact. This is a friendly thread and you have to be narcississtic about everything. What a panzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
