sophomores, and juniors with big potential for big colleges

Longball, it is very tough for players form NH to go to high level schools. Bow doesn't play in the best class in NH but it is possible for these kids to grow into very good players. RHP pitchers in the low to mid 80's are a dime a dozen. The important thing for this kid to do is develope a good breaking ball and a very good change up. Hard work is the way for kids from the north to make it to the D1 level, trust me I have doen it. So twll those kids from Bow to make sure they get seen, as much as possible ex. showcases (perfectgame, top96, selectfest). Remeber a lot of guys can throw hard but it doesn't mean they can get guys out. If you get guys out there will be a place for you to play. Good luck work hard in the weight room, on the field and especially in the classroom.

I dont believe that the size of the school should matter as long as the player can play ball. It is a factor about the competition that they face, but if the player plays in another league with kids who play is class L, and do well, then they should have as good a chance as the class L player.

longball, your right it shouldn't matter, but if no one see's you how will they know you can play?you need to promote yourself. like ch34 say's showcases college camps etc.and legion ball can be a good way ,but coaches don't allways watch legion unless they have an interest in someone, or you make the tourney. just keep working hard. i know they can play good ball in bow,keep working hard

Just as an FYI, Collegiate Baseball listed the 5 "best" high school players in NH in a January issue. Two play Class L, one is Class I, one Class M, and one at Phillips Exeter. One of the Class L players is an '05, the others are '04.
It matters less where you play, more how you play. Keep working at the game, go to Showcases, play Travel ball, have fun! Good luck.

If I remember right, Matt Vaughn of Bow was being looked at.

this is a link to some very talented players in upstate NY

Charlie

You might think about getting out more

Sam Fuld at Stanford

The Gale boy who is probably a solid draft pick this JUne

The Doyle boy who is headed to BC

NH turns out some very fine talent-- give them the credit that is due !!!

hey TR 1 kid that you forgot about is chris lambert who should be a high draft pick this june also

There are a couple good ones right around here...
Chris Carpenter(Trinity) - Cardinals
Brian Wilson (Londonderry) - Giants
Kyle Jackson (Alvirne)- Red Sox
DePaula (Derry) - Indians?

I think the Derry player you are talking about would be Greg LaRocca of the Indians.

Soft

It was Sean DePaula I was thinking of...
Went to Pinkerton for 2 years and
finished at Cushing. Drafted by the Red Sox
but opted to play at Wake Forest instead.
Was a rookie with the Inidans and I think he
is with the Reds now...
