Central HS

Well Bulldog, I don’t know if your school is Central or one of the other schools in the area, but I got a big hoot out of what happened when I went to “Stats” on the Central web cite. It took me straight to MaxPrps. I see that not all the schools in the Southeast Missouri League use that service, but some do.

My congratulations to whoever sends in the stats. All the games are in there! But Dog, if that's your team, ya gotta buy that scorekeeper of yours a sharper pencil! How can you expect to get any respect for the team when you don’t have 6 players batting over .400? Wink

If you look at the school Archie, you’ll see they have a player batting .721! That’s 7-2-1! They also have players batting .500, .478,.453, and .414, for a team BA or.444. I’m not saying their SK has a sharp pencil, but if s/he doesn’t, someone might want to get those guys to whiz in a cup! LOL!

Actually, the Central stats are what I would call in the “normal” range for a HS team. So right away I’d tend to give their numbers validity, while good ol’ Archie just makes me laugh. However, if I’m wrong and those kids are really putting numbers up like that, perhaps their HC ought to consider scheduling some teams that were a little better.

Other than I’m a stat junkie, I like to take a look to see if I can spot anyone who stands out somehow. From what I can see, if I was a scout or someone from a college looking for a player, that Garret Stevens boy looks like a for real stud. At least he’d be someone I’d like to get a look at.

The only thing I’d look more into about though, was his pitching. That’s a lot of innings, and the last several games he was asked to and did, throw a lot of innings. Before I made much of a real decision, I’d really like to know more about his pitching. Its not that it looks all that bad, but I’d want to make sure.
