Fastest teams in state

Better get a stopwatch and get out to alot of games to get the answer to that question. No other good way to find out really.

I'm sure it's an ESCC Team, right NCAA?

Who cares?

This is baseball and not track.

It is the team that hustles, every play and between innings. It is the team that gets 7 innings done in less than 2 hours.
Enough said on this subject.

Huh! Fast, fast for what, got an appointment? This is baseball, sit back and enjoy all of it, because these days go by too fast.

Speed is important, take a good look at the sox record last year when a speedy leadoff hitter was missing, don't think the speed of Pierre will help the cubs this year. Ask any pitcher if he doesn't like 3 speedy ourfielders behind him or if a speedy runner on first base doesn't sometimes disrupt his concertration or the pitch he might throw to the next hitter. Spped isn't the only thing by far but it is a factor in many games, from extra basehits, scoring stealing and of course defense in taking away hits.

Speed is important. Ask any players who went to a pro try out, ran a 7.4 60 and was asked to leave before he hit or fielded. I've had a D3 coach tell me they look for sub 7's for ss/2b and cf. If I'm a plyer I'd sure want a guy scoring from second with 2 outs on a single.

The key to winning baseball games is pitching, fundamentals, and three run homers."

We do not have any speed!

Yeah CoachB,

You've got nothin' again, just like last year and the previous 5 years! The newspaper article was terrific, but it blows your cover. I'm very impressed with the loyalty shown you by ex-players who now return to coach with you. I hope your players know just how fortunate they are to have a coach like you who not only teaches them baseball, but much more on the lessons of life. Have a great season.

itsrosy, both Coach Bugger and Coach Drake were college coaches. Coach Bugger was the hitting coach for Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. I gave him a call and begged him to resign and come here to help me. Coach Drake was an assistant at another very successful local school that I once coached at. Coach Drake also coached pitching in college. Last year, I got on the phone and told him I was going to have an assistant's position open and would he resign his job and come here. He did! I'm very fortunate. As I've mentioned several times, I'm the most blessed person on the face of the earth.

BTW, I have 3 kids that have over 30 career stolen bases returning. One of these has closer to 50. We have two another speedsters that are going to play. We should be able to run some. Of course, they won't be like my first team here where I had 3 guys steal 40+ and two others steal 25+. That was real team speed.

Judging by their nickname...Roadrunners...Nazereth Academy may be the fastest team!

Come on. There must be a team called the Cheetahs, fastest animal on Earth.

You must not watch any cartoons - nobody catches the roadrunner.

Sure you can be faster than the roadrunner...
Just strap an Acme rocket to you back and light the fuse.
