ive never heard of any of those kids besides cisper

Dawg32-while you should be extremely proud of your offspring, some words of caution. Let others talk of him, take the high road, leave yourself out of the discussion. If you don't, you end up sounding like A1. You know better, and the boy is GOOD. It will all come out in the wash.

GCPRO: I will talk up Tyler. He is a very good pitcher and does a very good job in High School and summer ball. Nothing wrong with sounding like A1. he gives props to many, many kids who have played for him and some who have not. That includes A1's son. Nothing wrong with Dawg32 talking about his talented son. When they do something good say it. Believe me if they do wrong you certainly will hear about it.

[GCPRO]

Sorry I disagree, be silently proud. I will be better that way. Pump them up in your own way. Everyone else will see them for what they are good/bad.

[bpdawg32]

I never talk about What Tyler Does on the field or Court, I will say he is one of the top 100 juniors in the city though is a D1 prospect probably not but he does well amongst his peers... he still has alot of maturing to do before he gets to the next level.... and thats my honest opinion

[AmericaOne]

GCPRO: My son Never comes on Yappi and thinks I am a total nut for even posting on here. He does not want me to say anything negative or positive about him. My point is that kids usually are told when they do something that is negative and rarely are given accolades when they do something good. I do not care when people attack me for being outspoken, otherwise I would not be on here. I hope most parents are silently proud of their kids accomplishments. I will give props to those who deserve them, that is what this site is about. Why do you think people ask Who is the best this, that. They know people will have opinions and then the discussion begins. Without it this would be a boring thread.

Jay Woods and Drew Owens didn't even play Fairfield varsity last year. Alex Johnson was the only one to do so. And how can you not add Nathan Smith from West?

[TheKid08]

Don't worry you will.;)

ehh probably not.. you just say the top 5 players from glen este are some of the top juniors in the city.. and i highly doubt they are

[bpdawg32]

there are so many I couldnt remeber them all since it is football season, these are the one I know by name and have seen play....

[thenextone33]

I think Noah Zipko-talwanda ss and Luke Giddens-LE lhp pitcher need to be added to that list because i saw them in a couple of games this year in fall ball and they proved they could play

[GE_Baseball_Mom]

ehh probably not.. you just say the top 5 players from glen este are some of the top juniors in the city.. and i highly doubt they are

Well time will tell. Glen Este is going to have one of the best Junior classes to come along in awhile. Some of which should of been playing Varsity last year. I think all can contend to be some of the top juniors in the city. Guess we will talk about it next year and see what is what then..huh?

Didn't every single one of those kids play on the Post 72 Bats?

Coincidence? You be the judge.

[GE_Baseball_Mom]

Judge of what?? I don't have to be judged by anyone on my own opinion. Maybe I just wanted to get their names out there...I know they are all good players why not give some other kids some regonition? Does it bother you that much?? Not any different than any others coming on here and putting their players in this group as well...why single out me? Post 72 had a very good team, as they will again next year.

[TheKid08]

b.c other people who posted, posted on players that deserve to be considered top 25.. post in the favc thread about them if your trying to get their name out, its dumb to post about players that no one has heard about and saying their top 25 in SWO

[anonymousFATBEAR13]

i think luke maile has to be included somewhere on that list...

[TheKid08]

hes from kentucky? not sure if were talking about the area or the league. but he is a very good player either way

First and foremost...I am not dumb and second I will post where I want to. That being said, I don't have to conform to who you or anyone else thinks is the top 25. Because I don't agree with some of the others that posted who they think should be in there, I don't call them dumb. Everyone has their opinion about who is good and who isn't. It is just that, an opinion. Who can really say who the top 25 are...You Kid...I don't think so. I just put their names out there as players to watch. If they don't do well...than fine..by the end of the year you know who any of those players are then..hey good for them!

GEMOM: Kewl Out. A1 has got your back on this. Some of the listed players that GEMOM listed are top level players. She knows her stuff. The Bats were a very nice 16U team last year who beat some very good teams. Give these players their props. State your opinion!!!

[ColerainSeger09]

I think that most of the people on here just get talked up by people that heard they were good.

A1...Thanks for the back up and nice words. I try!! I don't like to conform..lol wow there is a newsflash..LOL Anyway, nice to get some other names out there, I think given the chance to play Varsity for some of these kids is going to be a true test of their talent. Some my come through others may not. I feel a few will play well and shock others when they a starting instead of those that some think will...Is that criptive enough for ya?? I have been sick so excuse me if I make no sense...it is the drugs talking..I mean typing. But again..Thanks A1!!

[SS20RS]

Matt Longsworth, Amazing pitcher with a great curveball, Kids got a future remember that name. :crush:

[baseball29]

wat school?

[anonymousFATBEAR13]

matt longsworth barely played any varsity as a sophmore at madeira... that doesnt sound like much of a future to me :shrug:

[stayflyyy22]

longsworth is ok, i was at a try out with him and he did not impress me to much. i dont see how noone has said anything about mike gastrich, i see other catchers posted but nothing about him. He is easily better than any other catcher that has been posted on this thread..EASILY.

[TheKid08]

defensively he is one of the top catchers around.. hasnt ever impressed me hitting

[stayflyyy22]

defensivly he is THE top catcher around, and offensivly he hasnt really broken out at the highschool level yet but just wait.

[Trojanman_11]

Mike used to be one of the better hitters in the swol at 13 and 14. he has gotten even better behind the dish and with hard work could be a better hitter.

[Italia738]

How in God's name hasn't Michael Basil's name come up? Whether people like it or not, he is one of the elite players, even if some don't agree with his father's philosophy to the game.

I know him well, and I think it's saying a lot when a kid's top schools being looked at are Vanderbilt, Clemson, Georgia Tech, and other great baseball schools in the top 25.

Also, Brett Cisper is right there at the top of this class, he seems to be somewhat similar to Basil in size, strength, and speed. Only difference from what I've heard is fielding abilities. Either way, Brett will end up going to a top school I believe.

Other players I would like to include Craig Goubeax at Fenwick, Kelley Barnes at Moeller, and Ian Hundley at Moeller.

Totally agree with you. I did mention Brett, and my bad I forgot to put Ian on there as well. Brett impressed me alot this past year, I think he plays a ---- of a third base, I saw him make some pretty impressive plays there and even with his size has great agility at third. Strong hitter, great attitude and all around great kid. Same with Ian.

I really hope that Brett decides to go to an Ivy league type school, or somewhere that is a top academic college. He's a great player and students, and I believe he's never received a "B" yet on his report card. Good kid, good family.

Also, I hope Ian does the same as Brett. He is another very smart student who I believe is in all honors courses and is a consistent 1st honors student. Not to mention, he's one of the fastest kids on the field when he's playing.

Just a little bit of information. Chris Saporito has played up and not only that......he played up 2 years playing on the 17U Ohio Heat and 18U Morgenroth Heat this summer posted a .663 batting average with 22 doubles, 3 triples, and 5 home runs. Those are monster stats if he would have played in his own age level. This year he has even gotten stronger. Going to be a tough out at Franklin.

[Xuball11]

I have seen Saporito hit. The kid can flat out hit the baseball!

[4theluvofthegame07]

England and Reynolds played with the 16u kinects last year, and Enterman and Blackford played for the 17u hustle. Next summer i think England Blackford and Reynolds all are playing for the 18u Greenville Sluggers

[classicsbaseball]

I think you have wrong information:

England ~ Greenville
Reynolds ~ Dayton Classics
Blackford ~ Dayton Hustle

i didn't post about myself...i only had the stars because he's good... And Peeno played varsity last year but was injured and had some eligibility problems, but im pretty sure he'll be healthy for this upcoming season

He might be healthy but will he be eligible?

[purpleandwhite]

Does Elder not have any talented juniors?

[TCM06]

Zach Asman plays pretty good baseball(jr.at Elder)

[LoyalBuckeye]

Ryan Issacs should be on that list. He led his summer team (Cincy Flames) by a pretty good margin in the offensive category and led his high school team (West Carrollton). He also played a solid role on defense playing centerfield is one of the best CFs in the SWO. He has played for the Cincy flames for the past three years with Jay Basil, but i believe he left. I'm not too sure though, anyone know?

Wes Kalkhof, 3B Fenwick

[viperbball]

West Carrollton is not good. I saw them get No-hit, actually Perfect Game, by a BAD Bellbrook team. I think Issac's struck out 3 times. Not impressed at all. Definitely not on this list.

You can't determine how good a player is, just off of one game. Issacs, i believe batted close to 500 last year in high school ball and led his summer team with the highest batting average. His team, coached by Jay Basil was one of, if not the best team in ohio and is known nationally. So you my friend "Definitely" don't know what you are talking about.

He's a nice HS player, nothing more. I've seen him play for over 5 years. And I'm not your friend.

[LoyalBuckeye]

He's a nice HS player, nothing more. I've seen him play for over 5 years. And I'm not your friend.

You really don't know what you are talking about. You obviously haven't seen him play summer ball, or much high school ball at all. I think I would know since i've helped coach him during the summer for two years and I've seen him play summer ball for three. You are probably some parent who knows nothing about baseball, or a player who voices his opinion on this website and knows absolutely nothing about the game. And get your facts straight, he didn't strike out three times that game. He only struck out three times during his whole high school season.

[viperbball]

Loyalbuckeye---Here is your quote on another thread.

"No one cares about Monroe baseball. They were horrible last year and they most likely won't be much better this year. The only people who care about Monroe, or say anything about them, are people who go to Monroe or play for them."

It is obvious to everyone that you in fact know nothing about baseball. Please go away if all you can do is spew crap like this. If you have some valuable baseball information to give us please do. I gave you some grief to see if you were just a kid or some dad talking about his kid. I think you might be both. Come on Rookie! You can do better than this.... Add some value or go away. Issac's is a very good player. Everyone in Dayton knows it. Don't come on here bashing a whole team, then expect us to value your opinion on a player...it doesnt work that way.

[HSFootballs Finest]

Madison:
1. Ryan Manley
2. Andy Mccoppin
3. Zach Hembree
Carlisle:
1. Kyle England
Franklin:
1.Chris Sapirito
2. The Bray Kid These are both excellent players watched them throughout last year along with the madison kids......

[viperbball]

I agree about England. If his head is on right he's really good. I wish Bray had gotten bigger, he has some nice skills. He looked really small on the football field this year. Not criticizing him, just wish he was 4 inches taller.

[LoyalBuckeye]

I believe you are the one who said that West Carrollton wasn't any good last year. And i also believe that West Carrollton beat Monroe last year 18 to 4, or something close to that score. So, you viperbball, someone who judges a team or player off of one game. Shouldn't think too highly of Monroe after that performance. I just get tired of seeing Monroe players and coaches talk about how great they are, when they play in an extremely weak league and don't have a tough schedule at all. Another thing, I could really care less about your opinion of me, thinking i'm a player or a father.

[viperbball]

I thought Monroe was a really nice team last year. I only saw them once, In the playoff game against Oakwood last year at Springboro. I try to see most of the teams in Dayton. I try to stick with only league games because you get poor pitching matchups in out of conference games. In my opinion. Since WC is not in a conference its hard to pick a game to see their best. I did see Reynolds pitch in that BB game. Not one of his best efforts. He can be good if he's on. I think WC lost to Carroll in the second game of the DH that day. WC was very young last year. I noticed them starting a lot of sophs and even a frosh or too. I hope the year of seasoning makes them better. They need to find a league as well. I never judge a team, or player, off of one game....I just did that to get a rise out of you becasue you ripped Monroe. It obviously worked. Good luck this season.

[tinman13]

what about brandon wood from elder, he had 54 RBI's last year in 25 games and a very solid 3B

[LoyalBuckeye]

I saw them play in about three or four games last year, and yeah, I see where you are coming from when you say that wc is not in a league. The thing that impresses me about wc, like you said, is how young they were last year. They had a very impressive showing against Centerville, but fell short in a nine inning game and They actually beat Carrol in that double header with a walk off. We'll see how they do this year and how tough their schedule is. I know this is off topic, but Springboro is going to definitely be the team to beat in the dayton area this year. Anyways, i see why you did what you did and we'll see how things play out this season.

[TheKid08]

what about brandon wood from elder, he had 54 RBI's last year in 25 games and a very solid 3B

wood and asman are the two best juniors at elder.

[fusion25]

watch out for Badins Zach Toener Badin IFto have an explosive year this year best of luck to the rams

[BigBlueDawgPound]

Mckinney, and Toener will be big players for the Badin Rams this year....

[bpdawg32]

Mckinney, and Toener will be big players for the Badin Rams this year....

I think Cassano will Improve he did a fine job behind the dish last year but by seasons end he should be able to hit varsity level pitching pretty well

[fusion25]

true cassano did well when urmston was hurt and i think with a little more playing time by seasons end he will be a much improved player as for mckinney and toerner toerner already brought himself to the varsity level last year as a soph and i cant wait to see him play this year as for mckinney i hope he grew from last years tourny problems and i hope he realizes he will be as good as his mind lets him if he can keep a level head i think he could be as good if not better than badins former state runner up pitcher Kyle Pfirman

[bpdawg32]

during the summer I seen Mckinny and Pennington face off and boy both have alot of maturing to do on the mound... (Pennington all around) both have all the tools just need to get their heads on straight but they have 2 season to do so and should be fun to watch over the next 2 years Both are hard throwers with nice off speed stuff just lack a little mound presence.... Good luck and train hard over the winter boys

Badin should continue to be well stocked for the next several years. This year's Jr class should be the best in the area. They also have a very strong class coming in as Freshmen this year. Hopefully their run of never losing the GCL title will continue at least four more years

[TheKid08]

they're are at least 5 schools with a better junior class than badin

Name them, so I can watch them

[fusion25]

what schools from the area?

[TheKid08]

Lakota West, Oak Hills, St. X, Elder, and possibly fairfield or lasalle

[hits09]

Lakota West, Oak Hills, St. X, Elder, and possibly fairfield or lasalle

Not a bad list but i would say you left some off that have as good or better jr classes. i'll put my top 10 in no order.

Oak Hills
Milford
Glen Este
Anderson
St. X
Badin
Lakota West
Moeller
Fairfield
Elder

[TCM06]

Jake Proctor of Oak Hills is the best all around player I have seen. Great attitude and seems to have the best all around game. There is about 15 of these guys that you could not go wrong on. How about a list of the best all around players, not just the ones that can hit or can run, but a list of guys who can play multiple pos. and can play defense. All the hitters on this list can hit the dog snot out of the ball. Good luck to all of ya's and hope you have great junior years!

[coach21]

Mckinney
Beaver
Hunley
Gabeaux
these are all good players
the others are ok. just because they play in your summer program does'nt make them good.

[TCM06]

Those guys are very good players. Beaver is like having a coach on the field. How hard is Hundley throwing now? 85-86-87. Just wondering.Should have a great year for Colerain.

[Trojanman_11]

Gabeaux is a stud behind the plate

[TheKid08]

what school does he go to?

[fusion25]

Lakota West, Oak Hills, St. X, Elder, and possibly fairfield or lasalle

i would hope they would have better jr classes then d 3 badin even though i dont think ff will be beating badin for a few years to come :)

[Trojanman_11]

Gabeaux goes to Fenwick

[bpdawg32]

I like X's Junior class, Basil, Rudiger SP? holstegge are studs

[fusion25]

yea ive only seen them play a couple of times but like i said there is a huge diffrence in Badin and ST Xs attendance

I believe Badin's juniors repeatedly beat X the last two years as freshmen and sophomores. X has a couple very good players, but it's not a standout class overall. Even the X people will tell you that.

[TheKid08]

most of their better sophomores played varsity last year.. and holstegge has improved a lot as a pitcher since his freshman year... this is a post about best jr classes not best when they were freshman and mckinny threw harder than everyone

A quick look at the 2007 rosters will tell you that X had two of its 18 sophomores on the varsity full time last season. Badin had three of its 13 sophomores on the varsity last season. Badin was 4-0 against X at the freshman and JV levels the last two seasons. I repeat, quite correctly, that X has a couple strong players, not a standout class overall. All you need to do is ask people connected with the X program. They will tell you the same thing.

like I said I like basil and Holstegge kids they have a couple others that can play but I give the nod to badin, LW has fine players too but not a over all class like Badin

I'm with you dawg, The Kid just needs a little reminding. Elder might have the deepest junior class of talent in the area. I know Badin won the frosh and JV GCL tournaments the last two years and beat Elder along the way in both, but Elder also pounded them several times during the regular seasons.

the elder kids have been playing together for a long time and know how to play off eachother

[fusion25]

true and when they were freshman i dont believe brett M or zach T played on there freshman team two players that would help out in a game against St X greatly

[hehateme2911]

Stu Simons and Scott Herkamp at Mariemont

[anonymousFATBEAR13]

kelly barnes is a good looking player with a lot of potential

[TheKid08]

oak hills and lakota west both have a stronger junior class than elder

[bpdawg32]

oak hills and lakota west both have a stronger junior class than elder

Oh I agree But I give all teams a little Props Im not a homer like alot of these guys!!!!

[favc-mvp]

i'm jus gunna go out on a limb here and say oak hills has 2 amazing JR's in malloy and procter those two are great ball players.
i do know i great SS from west.... last name is MAY maybe Mays either way he's a good little switch hitting SS

[IMO]

How can you compare Junior classes this early?
Off last years play as sophmores...where only a handful of sophmores played varsity around cincinnati. You can probably compare a few players, but to compare entire classes is a bit rediculous as of right now.
IMO cincinnati is filled with some pretty strong SR. and JR. classes...should be intresting how things play off the next few years.

How is that going out on a limb?

Malloy and Proctor are very good ball players...Im not to sure anyone has questioned that. As for Mays...never heard of him, ? but all will be told once the season has unfolded.

agreed, Cincinnati as a whole looks to be pretty tough, and to predict nething right now is crazy.

Jacob Mays is a sophmore and played JV as a freshman last year... He plays ss and some OF..

[TheKid08]

i would think beavers will be playing ss for west this year, but i've never heard of mays

[513/911]

Zipko(Talawanda) is a flat out HOUND at SS
Malloy(Oak Hills) is one of the most feared hitters in Cincinnati
Morris(Sycamore) one of the hardest playing players around
Hundley(Colerain) has one of the livest arms in the city

You cant leave out these guys......

[colerain #22]

ryan Stemann colerain / 2B

[Crusader11]

ryan Stemann colerain / 2B

could he possibly be #22?
thats not obvious or anything.



and anyways..

yeah Brett Cisper and Michael Basil are easily one and two.

[westside is tht side]

jake mays? he's only lee may's grandson? kid is a stud! probably would of seen some varsity as a freshman if it wasn't for grshwind
