I am a bit biased... and with all due respect to a lot of very fine 3B throughout the state...

 

There is Sarah Beth. And then there is everybody else.

Sorry. Elizabethton's Erin Kiser blasted homerun #10 yesterday. That gives her 24 in two years. I doubt anyone else is even close.

The question was who are the best 3rd basemen, not who are the best hitters. I imagine your girl would be a good hitter if she played right field, catcher or pitcher too... correct? The two, hitting and fielding, do not have anything to do with one another. Start a thread about hitters for your girl.

 

So back to the question, Sara Beth Roberts signed with UTC. In 13 years of watching softball I have never seen a better 3rd baseman than her. I've seen her on many occasions one hand a bunt and throw the lead runner out at 2nd base. Sara Beth regularly makes plays that could be on the espn top 10.

Actually, I do not think the thread specified defensive 3rd basemen. It may be implied, but was not specified. I am sure your player is great defensively if she has signed with UTC. She is probably a good hitter too. You have to have offense, defense, and pitching to win. I think Erin is good defensively and great offensively. If you combine offense and defense she has to be one of, if not the best, third basemen in the state.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
