I had forgotten that Jake was there as well. My son (also a 2009) has played against him many times. The 2008 and 2009 classes in the Richmond area are very deep with talented players...especially pitchers (I think you'll see that fact reflected in the next two drafts). Luckily, they are spread out enough among different high schools to give the rest of the state a chance. You're right though, just getting out of the Central Region will be a dogfight.
