Who Would you guys say our

Approximately, how many high school baseball players are there in Connecticut?

There are 111 HS baseball programs in the state

So, let's say there are 15 boys per team. That's roughly 1600+ players, and you want the top 5...

How about, who you think are some of the top players in the state.

Haha, ok I will take that answer...in the 2008 class? And if you have the answer 2009..

For 2008's some of the top players are Jason Esposito, Jay Spear, Dan Paolini, Pat Lowery, and Rett Ostafin, just to name a few.

I know esposito just commited to Vandy from what I heard. Who else should I look out for next spring in the graduating class?

How do you figure out what colleges these guys are going to? IS there another web site where thye keept rack of that?

Don't forget about these guys
Garret Gooper -RHP
Matt Barnes -RHP
Brett Anderson - SS
AJ Rataic -3b/p
George Springer - CF
Andy Smietana -MI

Top 10 according to PGcrosschecker are

1. Jason Esposito
2. Brett Anderson
3. George Springer
4. Pedro Escarfullery
5. Garret Cooper
6. Connor Gandossy
7. Taylor Lewis
8. Matthew Barnes
9. Rocco Gondek
10. Mike Riemer

Really glad to see Mike Riemer's name on that list. He's an excellent all around player - RHP, SS, OF - and he can hit the cover off the ball. Great disposition, too. Graduated last June, but hasn't turned 18 yet, so he's doing a PG year at Berkshire. Definitely a player to watch.

I thought Gondek was in college already.

PLAINVILLE — The District IV baseball all-stars are tops again. Not bad for a team with, as Ryan Fuller put it, no “big names.”

District IV, made up of senior standouts from eastern Connecticut, bullied District II, 5-0, Thursday to capture the Connecticut High School Coaches Association all-star title for the second straight year.

East Lyme’s Wes Aylward hit an RBI single in the fourth and East Catholic’s A.J. Rataic crushed an opposite-field grand slam in the fifth inning. The pitching made it hold up, as locals Chris Zbin (Bacon Academy), Mitch Furber (Montville) and Pat Lowery (St. Bernard) all helped to combine for the shutout.

“We think we play some pretty good baseball down here,” said District IV and Windham coach Ken Valliere. “It’s first an honor to be here, and to win, it adds a little frosting on the cake, if you will.”

It also got sweeter for a number of local stars. Lowery, St. Bernard teammate Anthony Ruffo and Montville’s Taylor Lewis were among the 18 players selected to represent Connecticut in an all-star game against Massachusetts seniors next Thursday at Fraser Field in Lynn, Mass.

Fuller, of Old Lyme, will also join them.

“I just thought they would go off the big names,” Fuller said of the selection committee. “It’s good to give the kids who do well during the games a look, too.”

Both teams got an unexpected surprise Thursday when officials broke out wooden bats for the game.

“No pine tar or anything,” Fuller said. “Just threw them out there.”

District IV, though, still managed to rap out nine hits to its opponents’ three.
