top 06 pitchers in midwest

Oak Forest proves to have a dominant staff with the aids of
Dave Norkus (L)
Anthony Maziur (L)
John Kotschnitsky (R)
Nick Vacco (R)
Matt Soria (R)

Norkus,Maziur, Vacco all being recruited D1-II-II.

Kyle Gibson from Greenfield IN is a dominating pitcher.
Wade Kapteyn is up there as well.

Thoughts anyone?

Cedric Redmond from Joliet should be at the top of the 06 list

I hear them boys from Greenfield have some talent, anyone have any powerhouse predictions for this upcoming spring?!?

Hardest thrower that I saw during summer ball was Colin Bates from Naperville North. I only saw him throw one inning, but it was brisk.

illinirock,
i definatly agree with you about cedric redmond from joliet. this kid has great velocity and a good curve. not to mention his windup is a lil herky jerky and very hard to pick up from the batters box. good call on cedric.

Steve Crnkovich Downers South
Cedric Redmond Joliet Township
Pat Kirchoffer Wheaton North

It's you Nick K.!

6'6" 185 lbs LHP Nick Rice

Sorry , just realized that Rice is an 07. Heck of a picher...

Colin Bates got signed on the spot to USC, is this true?

Does anyone know where Gibson will be going to school?

This is my first year in high school baseball.How is the pitching at the 6a level in oklahoma

There's a boy playing at Maple Woods Community College in MO that is extremely good. Was their top guy last year as a freshman and also played for the Mankato Moondaogs as a freshman last summer and ended with a 3.1 ERA there. Was one of their top guys there as well. Allowed NO earned runs this fall. Turned down an opportunity to sign with several D1 schools during the early signing period.

The boy's name is Joey Haug.

Basebalregie,
This is a HS site but why would a kid turn down a D 1 offer as a juco guy...signing early makes life much more fun.

Wants to play for a TOP D1 school. ASU and FSU asked him to wait.

OK, that explains it. He was probably the only guy that they said that to. I m sure FSU and ASU will have all kinds of time to recruit and evaluate during their own season.
Glad to hear that kid has done well but it seems he is bring manipulated by the process.
Best of luck
