Best of TCIS

I will start with the blinding flash of the obvious.

Wynkoop (Cape Henry) is the best pitcher in the TCIS. And you probably do not need MAXPREPS to know that.

Nick Jessee, RHP, Greenbrier (Old Dominion)
Sean Poppen, RHP, Cape Henry (Harvard)
Jeffrey Swoope, IF/OF, Bishop Sullivan

Colin Ballard, INF, Cape Henry

I would add Steven Swoope, IF/RHP, Bishop Sullivan to the list.

I haven't heard much about Kyle Rosso, C, Norfolk Collegiate this year. Anyone know how he is doing?

If the coaches are to decide who the TCIS all conference players are from stats alone it looks like the whole Bishop Sullivan team will have a hard time makeing the all conference selection list. They all/ the team seem to be haveing a down year. With the team high batting avg being a .267.

Speaking of Bishop Sullivan, the stats are not even close. Most games don't even have stats. They have only entered stats for 7 games (1/2 of what they have played). Especially for the Swoope brothers the last 7 games would put their BA in the .450 range or better. On the pitching side (my son being one of them) if you look at win-lose without showing ERA, errors, walks etc....it looks really bad to college coaches that keep track of progress through stats.

I noticed that as well. Not sure if the stats on MaxPreps are as well reported as in the past. I think the players stats are actually higher; somewhere between .267 and the off the chart stats that parents report.

Your point is well taken though. The coaches don't realize that they aren't helping their players by not keeping the stats up.

From a different thread...

Regardless of whether you think these players are first team or second team. The coaches believe that these are the best players in the TCIS. Congratulations to the kids.

First Team
Jack Wynkoop, Cape Henry
Tyler Rameriz, Cape Henry
Robby Lathrop, Greenbrier

Sean Poppen, Cape Henry
James Bedi, Greenbrier
Mitch Owens, Walsingham

Yes, Congratulations to these players and their families. It looks like the TCIS will be losing a ton of talented players to graduation this year.

Yes, many talented players heading to the next level from this list. BTW, your squad was one of the most improved teams I saw this year. Looks like you have some young guys coming up; hang in there.

Congrats to the first and second teams! I noticed the article in the paper, but did not see any positions. Just names, schools and years. What's up? Does the TCIS pick the best players, and not by position?

The TCIS only goes the top 10 players.A coach cannot vote for his own guys. So the first team is the top 10 with the most votes/points (voted first on a ballot gets 10 points and so on) and the remaining vote getters are on second team.

Headinghome, thanks for the reply. What a novel concept or principle!
