2007 & 2008 Top Prospects

Are you putting together a summer team and looking for players?

I have a growing list of HS '07 Marylanders
who are on my radar screen.

And of course, there are a few 10th graders (2008) there that were on HS varsity last year or will be on varsity this year, and are concluding fall ball with the 2006 kids. Of course many more will be 'discovery' in 2006!
And that's the exciting part of discovery!

Bear

ps. Larry,
- I don't believe alumni23 means any harm...
- appears like he's trying to help, &
- is more than likely seeking 16U players
....don't you think?

- How about it alumni23, what' up?

Just a fan of high school baseball.

With this warmer fall weather continuing for the first of many Indian summer weekends, it may be a great time for you, alumni23, to check out a few talented 2007 & 2008 Maryland HS graduates on Saturday afternoon at Olney Manor Regional Park. Good Counsel vs Quince Orchard in G1, Damascus vs Sherwood in G2.

I expect a few scouts and maybe a half dozen colleges may be in attendance!

As a reminder, (that I learned a while back and from the new Philadelphia Phillies GM) that it's best to see prospects with eyes than ears!

Good luck to you.

Regards
Bear

I am an 05 grad from Wilde Lake and played baseball and i am telling you to watch out for sophmore Pitcher Josh Futter, if you dont know the name you will

Will,
Obviously you know I am a big fan of Alex. He definately has big time power swing. We both know he loves the game. I expect big things from him.

Where's Danny from?

Much success this year.

PS: Here Meg is doing well also!

Robbie Koski, playing catcher on the Harford Sox 12U (current 7th grader) should be on a watch list. One of the best catchers on the 12U Metro leaque...

No offense Mom or to the player...he may be a stud but there is quite a difference not mention growth, & maturity over the next couple of years.

Bear,

heres another MD 08 from urbana, hs in frederick

Curtis Voytell is a 6'0 205lb 3b who has a lot of power to all fields and is solid defensively.. he has started to get attention nationally

www.eastcoastgrays.org

I have to agree about Voytell. That young man can hit the snot out of the baseball!

Another young stud '08 is Williamsport HS catcher AJ Jamison. Outstanding catcher who is very proficient with the bat. Hits for power as well.

I'll second the nomination of Danny Hultzen, who is at St. Alban's.

But he isn't a mid-80's guy. Fastball runs 76-81 tops.

What he will do is give you a clinic in the art of pitching. Everything moves, command of several pitches, knows what he wants to do and how to do it. He makes good hitters look bad. And yes, fabulous at picking guys off first, too -- on the rare occasion when they get there.

i believe there is a kid named Sauls that is an 08 who is a pretty good pitching prospect as well... i have to check my database to confirm

There are several kids on the Saint Johns Team graduating in 2008 --- Silverstein, LHP, and first baseman looks to be about 6'5" --- and Beahm -- good in fielder/pitcher.

Where is LJ Hoes name at? This kid is a player. If he can't make your lists then I got to see these players that are better than him.

LJ Hoes is a junior at St. John's College High School in DC. Tremendous upside!

Ditto on LJ, too!

Al my son plays on the same summer and fall team with LJ the Dirtbags. I just couldnt understand how there could be a thread about 07 08 top prospects in MD and his name not be mentioned right away.

Keep in mind. Corey Laub Jr. catcher, Howard County

I sent you a PM!

2007 -- Connor Hoahns - SJH --- will be drafted -- excellent right handed pitcher - 6'2" throws consistently in the ninties --- good disposition - power pitcher.

What about Josh Winter from Boys' Latin ive heard that this kid has some major power. I think BL has a couple of other good juniors too not sure tho.

Josh has hit 6 or 7 homeruns already this year. He is so improved from last year. Also good jrs from BL- Austin Knight (SS/P) and Devon Jerrard (OF/P) and they have two talented soph. this year. (not quite sure of their names....let me know if you do) Keep your eye on these players.

Yes ive heard about these two sophmores but i forget their names...i wanna say one plays right field and the other plays utility inf. not sure tho...how about pat blair from chc ive heard some good things but ive heard some bad things does anyone know anything about him?

ive seen Pat Blair play many times. He is a great hitter, especially hitting this year. Alright in the feild, but not bad.

namco5...may i ask how you know so much about these players?

Ive heard of Blair through other players and also through the newspapers. Ive seen Josh's name in the paper a couple of times and ive asked around bout him. Im just a fan of local highschool baseball.

im also involved in the game through coaching

Yesterday, Silverstein (SJH 2008) verbally committed to University of Virginia.

Thats fantastic news another great player from the WCAC going to a big D1 school. I think it will be a great place for him to develope his skill. Coach Kuhn is a great pitching coach

Trepfan...AKA Steve S. Congratulations to you and Scott

I also have heard that Danny hultzen is going there too. Looks like some lefty compitetion

That's not what I am hearing from a very reliable source. His Dad.

cheers

I'm pretty sure his dad is the one that posted it

Watched a 6'5" rt hander named Hugh Adams, out of St John's CHS (listed as an 08), pitch for the Bethesda Big Train last night.. He threw a couple of very nice innings....

It's good to hear that Hugh had a good game. He's very talented with solid stuff. He's sort of been in the shadows of other players this year, so it's good to see him getting some of the spotlight now, especially playing for the Big Train. Between Hugh and Scott, SJC should have a nice rotation next year. It will be interesting to see who else from SJC will round out the starting rotation.

Is there a website that lists the top prospects in Maryland?
