Hey J23 I noticed your son goes to Fruita Monument. We just played you guys a couple weeks ago, I go to Highlands Ranch. It was a good game.
Hey COLOkid.....it was a good game. Although, If I were the parent of the soph pitcher I would have been livid!! To let a kid that young, throw that many pitches, so early in the year, on such a cold day....wow! I'm sorry to say it but your coach oughta be tarred and feathered and run out of the game! That kid has one helluva a future ahead of him, but he won't if he's ruined his pitching arm before he ever gets out of high school! What position did you play?
Hey sorry I haven't gotten back to you, but I just wanted to tell you that you were right on. That sophomore pitcher can't throw for eight weeks because he hurt his arm from overuse..
Our coach has no idea how to use our pitchers effectively, and you were exactly right about that game earlier in the year. That's what led to this.

That is an awesome picture of Colton heading into third. I love the intensity he shows.

Aldo, that's a big boy you got there! Very good baseball neighborhood you're in as well. Good combo!
Thanks Krak....I just pray he stays healthy.
Krak, he isn't telling you how good his son really is on the field. Lucas throws 93-95 at times and is starting rumblings about being a top round pick in 2012 draft. Lucas pitched against my sons team and was real effective the last 2 years. His father knows how good of a team we were, but for those on this site I will give an idea of talent he faced. In the last 2 years we have sent/sending 9 players to D1. Lucas is the real deal and will be fine, if not overused at this level. He is almost a shoe-in today at area code final tryouts in santa barbara. I will get to see him for 1 more year before I move on to college ball. Good luck Aldonia and be humble. Enjoy the ride and hold on to the rains, because you are going to told all kinds of promises when it comes to Lucas. Good luck.
Celtdad...thanks much. One more year in HS for you, two for Luc and then we'll be seeing you, (God willing)in the Pac 10 down the road. Who knows...maybe on the same team!
Aldo,
My son was working out with Austin a couple weeks ago. You guys had some big kids with big arms at that school.
My son was working out with Austin a couple weeks ago. You guys had some big kids with big arms at that school.
We had two Austins on the team: one, an outfielder, on his way to Stanford and one, a left-handed pitcher, who just transferred to Oaks-Christian. If you are speaking of Austin Wilson....well, he was a beast of a player. I believe he had a 99mph exit velocity on his throws from the outfield. I personally, have never seen another high-school player like him in terms of physicality. I know they exist, but I think they're few and far between. Austin Wilson is as close to a true 5-tool player as you will ever see. Even his swings and misses illicited ooh's and ahh's from the crowd. We'll miss him at HW but will be watching him dominate the Pac-10 in the future.
Yep. Wilson.

This shot was taken at the 2010 WWB Championships where this soft-tossing lefty finished the weekend with:
Pitching: 2 AP, 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 4 K, 3 BB
Hitting: 4 PA, 3 AB, 1 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 1 FC, .333 Avg, & .750 OB%
... after not playing baseball all fall.
David may not be the most gifted athlete, but he loves the game, respects the game, plays the game the right way, and gives his all to his team(s). In the words of one of his long-time Coaches -- "He may not be flashy in how he gets it done ... all he does is win."

Great photo, spd! I love guys like what you (and the coach) have described. Give me nine of these guys, and I'd be in heaven.
Best of luck to him!
Best of luck to him!
southpawdad thats a great picture. He sounds like a fine young man. Best of luck in the future and enjoy the ride.
Krak & Coach -- Thank You! Must give credit for the great photo to the folks at AB Digital Photography who snapped some excellent shots of SP_Son down in Jupiter.
This shot was taken during his 3 inning stint where he held the very talented and powerful Canes hitless, earning a Save in a 2-1 win for Coach Merc and the NE PG Purple in Game 1 of this year's tournament. THAT was a special day.
As to the future ... he's chasing some pretty big dreams. Can't wait to see just how far he can go. Our best wishes to you and your young men.

Great shot!
from one Southpaw dad to another- enjoy the process and have fun with all of it!
Some of my best baseball memories now, are the visits to the various schools and the baseball talks during car rides and at hotels. Son and I had a lot of fun on those trips! Watching football and talking baseball at several locales!

Hey GED,
I believe your son was on the roster for a Lubbock, Texas team that was out in Arizona for the Fall Nationals? My son's team played you guys on Saturday night, and he threw four innings against your son's team. Ironically, the following day he played versus Ryanrod's team too, small world!
I agree with 2Bmom, GED Jr. is a Big Un...very strong looking young man!

Yes, GUN played with ABA-Team Texas, the AZ Sr Fall Classic was legit. We've been east and southeast many times, but only west for a 10 day trip hosted by the Arizona Clash in 2008.quote:Originally posted by bsbl247:
