09's in texas

Cain & Kettler (that I have seen), along with a McKinney kid that I have not seen throw.

best '09's???
Depends on who has made (or is expected to make) an impressive contribution (as in wins, K's, saves) on HS varsity teams or certain select teams last summer & this past fall, then in the spring.

There will be chatter soon enough.

couple of houston area freshman made huge impacts on their varsity teams last year is what i hear...just dont know any names

Here is a couple that come to mind, you might want to keep an eye on.

Tyler Herr RHP Katy HS. 6’6/190, we’ve seen up to 89 (last June), projects off the charts.

Matthew Bean RHP Kincaid HS, Houston, 6’2/170, we’ve seen 86-89 (last June) outstanding arm action, good off speed.

There are several others.

There are several here in the Houston area. We will publish a list sometime between now and Feb.

Panther Dad, McKinney kid is Zach Lee and he is 2010 grad date.

What summer teams do those kids play for pg staff? Bean and Herr?

Cain's been out with a left shoulder injury since September. Keifer Nuncio from the Katy Sting is a great 09 pitcher.

baseball mama, That's what happens when you play football.

Zach Lee is Still 14 but has been consistantly in the High 80's and propably will be in the Low 90' this year as a Freshman. I have seen Him pitch and is very smooth and Mark pryor Like. Effortless like pitching. Fun to watch

2010, Is Zach playing for Team Kelley or DBAT16 next summer?

Zach is playing for Team Kelley Next year.

Who is the Kettler? HS Team? Summer Team?

Chad Kettler plays short for Coppell. I have seen him pitch for the Tigers during the Summer but I don't think he will pitch much for Coppell this Spring, if that is who you are thinking of. Coppell does have another 09 that will get a chance to be the #2 but he will have to beat out several 08's including DaLa, and Neider.

Flower Mound has Brunkenhoefer and he plays for Marshals, the kid throws strikes and has a couple of pitches. I think Flower Mound has another 07 that is a pitcher that should make varsity, I don't know his name either.

Yes, I was referring to Chad -- I agree that he may not be ready to be a 5A district pitcher, but he did a nice job against older competition this summer.

Thanks guys for the kind words about Zach, but there are many kids in the future that will shine including yours Mr.2010! It will be an exciting year for us all!

Kettler is a sinker ball pitcher that has good command of his offspeed. Not an overpowering fastball by any means but relies on hitting his spots and keeping the team off-ballance. (sounds like another pitcher writing this message) I think he could definately be effective in short work, or situational outings (which is how I feel most sophomore pitchers that aren't blowing smoke should be used... or are just dominating-usually they blow smoke).

Two 09 young men that my son played with last summer on the McKinney Marshals from Wylie will make a name for themselves, Jake Feckely and Daniel Jordan.

These two boys made the team go, I don't remember a bad game from either boy. Both are on the Varsity for the spring and they might have played Varsity last year.

Sorry I forget to mention them before, I just got caught-up in the Coppell / Flower Mound thing and the focus on 6-5A.
