Single A Top Pitchers

[CommanderMan]

When I was coaching at RBS, I remember McNeal bragging about him as an 8th grader.

 

Yeah he ended up pitching in the state tournament as a 8th grader against riverside, gave up 2 in 7 and 2/3 innings.

Cool thing is trader, we've got a freshman lefty now that's gonna win some games as well. At least that's cool for us.

yeah,I've been hearing a "little" about him too(ha!).Actually glad we've got someone as good as Riverside to show us "how good is good".Scotts Hill has the program heading tn the right direction,and I believe to be good it takes good competition.Hope we can give y'all some close games this year,and good luck this season!

S. Gant off to a good start with a win yesterday against Jackson Southside.

[WCHSGRAD]

Of those I've seen pitch I'd have to say Gant has the best combination of velocity and break/movement. I saw Ring pitch against Eagleville last year and he was extremely good and loved to pitch inside which is rare in HS ball. He also changed up his location and pitch selection as the game went on showing he is a thinker as well (realizing the catcher has a lot to do with it). I also like Smith from Eagleville as he locates his fastball well, has really good movement on his breaking balls and change of speed on his changeup and he is cerebral as well. I'm thinking Ring has a knuckle ball as well that's pretty good but that may be another pitcher I'm thinking about.

Ring has a very good fastball with a very good change up.

Heard Ring looked dominating yesterday in the 3 or 4 innings he threw against Spring Hill.

 

No doubt that Ring, Rice, and Adams are 3 of the best in Middle Tennessee.

Rice looked really good yesterday against Brentwood and picked up the win. He gave up 8 hits and had 9 strikeouts. He also was hitting the mid 80's.

Nice!!!

 

I hate that B-Ray can't pitch his Sr season. I really feel that he would be mentioned in this thread along with the pitchers already listed.

Thanks. He has lost down to 195 and working out like a mad man. Physically he is in great shape. I was looking forward to watching him play this season. He is able to play 3rd still but playing with some pain. IDK about his future. He just wants to play out senior year.

Actually Riverside beat North side 10-1 and Ryne Fisher pitched. Gant did throw the last 2 innings just for a little work, he'll start sat against Lexington.

Yes, I was wrong, thanks for correcting me. I'll make sure to get my sources straight next time.

Swindoll for FCS got his first start against class 6A Robertsdale high school (Alabama) and won 7-0.

Great pitchers duel tonight. Garrett Ring for Mt. Pleasant and Mikey Adams for Conersville. Both went 7 Innings with Ring getting a 1-0 win. He had 14 K's, 1 hit, and 2 walks.

North Greene;s Tyler Bailey, a sophomore, pitched a perfect game yesterday against Gatlinburg Pittman. It is thought to be North Greene's first perfect game ever. He threw 3 no hitters last year as a freshman. Don't know if this makes him one of the best but it is something special. I suspect he will get some attention. Way to go to Tyler and North Greene.
