Has anyone noticed a strong performance or good season so far from a Freshman or Sophomore playing on the varsity level?

It still early in the season, but Hopkinton has solid group of Sophmores. Amoung them McManus is 5 for 8 with a double so far, McCormick is 3 for 5 with a homerun and double, Bonifant is 4-6 and White is 3 for 7, hitting when it counts with 4 RBIs. Pitching, McManus and Bonifant have both picked up wins and Bonifant and McCormick are showing 0.0 ERAs.
I have had the chance to be on coaching staffs with McCormick and Bonifant over the past couple of summers while they were young players. I like them both and have heard a lot of McManus.
I heard Londonderry threw a freshman pitcher today who shut out BG?

I have heard Fortin at North has been playing very well as a Freshman playing on JV and has seen some time on the Varsity Team. Like Redsox8191 mentioned he has some Pop for a Freshman. As a catcher I have heard he's ready for Varsity and what ever it takes for the Pitching rotation to be comfortable for what ever they want to throw and not worry about a passball that's the guy defensively, he's solid behind the plate.
You should take a look at the Londonderry Varsity. They have 2 freshman who look to be up and comming.
One is a pitcher, the other an outfielder with a pretty good swing. Heard good thing about these guys.

Cassidy is really impressing me and Maloney is going to be something really special. I agree with both suggestions, and I saw Fortin again tonight an really like him behind the plate, good in his only at bat tonight. Watch out for Hopkinton for years to come they have a great sophomore crop of players.
Didn't see the game but heard Maloney was very impressive. Cassidy is holding his own his stats look solid.
I heard that Maloney did really well, I was disappointed I missed the game I would have liked to seen him, I got word that he was hitting 80-81 mph in the 5th inning, keep in mind the kid is only 15 years old.
Cassidy kid is an athlete and the more innings he is on the field the better and better he becomes as a baseball player. Its great these two have got the chance on such a solid team.

Somersworth has a large group of Juniors that should carry them to winning seasons for the next to years. Sophmore pitcher in his second season as a varsity pitcher, Josh Jaques looks dominant, He held Winnisquam in check. He also held Spaulding scoreless for 4 innings in a preseason scrimmage. This Lefty is someone to keep your eye on.
Your right! The more playing time the better for these guys. Their lucky to be playing with such a solid team. Good Luck to The Lancers hope they have a great year!
Maloney is only 15 and Kid Cassidy is only 14! Pretty impressive for a couple of freshmen!
I'm looking forward to catching a couple of games when Maloney's on the mound and Kid Cassidy playing outfield.

congrats to both Maloney and Cassidy...great young players
I haven't seen any sophomores or freshmen that we have played yet who has stood out. Moloney is a great kid who should develop into an ace if he committs to our weight program. Cassidy is already a starter and one of our top hitters at a very young age.

Maloney faced my fall team and he was 80-81 in the fall as well. I believe I spoke to you about him at the fall league championship game.
The kid has awesome arm action and a great frame to grow into. Just has power pitcher written all over him. I know Londonderry has program with a good S&C and off-season setup. He reminded me of my HS teammate Kyle Jackson with his lank and arm action. Showed a decent breaking ball too... Stay healthy kid!!!
Dover freshman Kyle Seawards pitched three innings and got the win for Dover over Concord the other day. I have been watching this kid play since he was 9 and he is not just a pitcher, he is a complete baseball player, with a very bright future.
Sometimes even I forget that Tom Hudon (Merrimack) is only a sophomore.
Sophmore Terry Dugdale got the win for Souhegan today against conval. he threw all 7 and only allowed 4 hits. a lot of errors were made in the field and he had 0 earned runs. he also batter 3-4 with 2 doubles and a single
Mike vick, hows philly? Terry Dugdale does sound like the real deal I am really looking forward to seeing him pitch this spring, everyone I talk to says that he is legit.

The New Hampshire High School Baseball Coaches Association. They select a Class I player and rookie of the week. Not sure why they just do Class I. Last week's winners were Ben Johnson, St. Thomas (Player), and Nick Massa, Kennett, (rookie.)
