Stark County baseball

[baseball'slife10]

Any front runners in stark county this year?

[Caju]

For small schools Lake Center Christian should do well, I forget what div. they're in but they have a nice senior class. Might have trouble fielding a team next year...

Its great playing those guys. They turn out the whole student body for a home game!

[Caju]

I'm guessing Jackson looks like the strongest team going into the season, quite a few teams will definitely be waiting for a shot at bumping them off their perch.

[aroundtown]

CAJU doesn't every year Stark County think Jackson will be the best team... Who do they have?

[spectator123]

Jackson lost 4 of their 6 top pitchers, their 3rd baseman, shortstop, 1st baseman, catcher, and two outfielders. That being said they will still be a very good team if their pitching steps up.

LCC is D4 in baseball. Is Coach Kremer still there? As well as Householder had done, I'm sure many at Lake wish Kremer was still there. He's an excellent coach. And with the talent they have coming back they should be in for a great season. But like you said, they may have trouble with numbers after this year (yappi lists their boys enrollment at 35).

Played Jackson's summer team (18U) last year, not that impressed.

[CCchamps08]

Hoping the crusaders can have another great season they should be strong again with a good core group coming back.

[aroundtown]

Central has alot of expectations this next year.. That Baker is going to be a great player as he matures more. He is going to have to lead that team next year. That third baseman I'm not sure of his name but I know he was a junior last year had some great hands and a gun for an arm. I think they should move him to short stop for CCC.

[Caju]

He's still there trying to get his ducks in a row for a good year.:)
Householder has done a great job as well, I might be crazy but I thought House did a very good job with the talent he had to work with in a tough league.

[bushman20]

Played Jackson's summer team (18U) last year, not that impressed.

Jackson's potential ace played for Legion 166 last summer in my opinion. Jon Cheney can for sure come in and get it done against great competition. I've heard he doesn't get a lot of innings because of politics within the system, I'm not going to get into that though because it is something I know not a whole lot about. But the kid has good moving stuff.

Based on years past, the coach will play the best players...he wants to win.

Aroundtown, your absolutely right about Nick Keller having a great arm and hands the kid can play ball but believe it or not he sat the bench and kept the score book much of the season until the end of the season along with one other senior player, and I think both of these players were a big part of the reason they made it out of the regionals in Massillon. Nick is not going to get a chance of playing SS due to John Lindesmith having that spot locked up even though he had the most errors on the team last year.... Baker is a great player and I see him being big for Central.

No question about it, Householder did a great job. Considering where Lake's baseball program was 10 years ago there's plenty of credit to go around. Kremer's is well deserved and Householder is probably still a little underappreciated. With time I think that changes.

As long as Central fields a team I will assume they're going to be one of the best in the County. Based on past performance, it's the smart bet. Just a well run program every year.

100% completley disagree. Its all about politics at that school.

Lindesmith? Is that the assistant coaches son? That being said, I feel no matter where Doug Miller puts his kids they are going to win! They do have alot of holes to fill though up and down the order. Looking at my scorebook from the game we played CCC. Leadoff left.. 3rd hitter.. 4th hitter.. 6th hitter.. 8th hitter.. and 9th hitter.. All of those guys produced! Those are gonna be some big shoes to fill. The only kid that impressed me that wasn't one of those seniors was that Keller? (think that's his name)

[spectator123]

The best players will play. The coach wants to win. My point is that if Coach Miller thinks you have something to add to the team he is going to play you. The two seniors who played outside of Jackson's summer team (2007 summer) who then played in the spring will tell you they didn't have a problem with the Coach...and they played. If Cheyney gets batters out he will pitch. He will have his chance to make the best of it. If you aren't any better than someone else than you may get passed by.

[Bearly Breathing]

Cheyney got to start varsity as a freshmen. He tore up his elbow and had surgery. The past few years he has not been that impressive when given a chance. Last years team was loaded with seniors pitchers who were very good. John will get a lot of chances as they look for a pitcher to go with Matt Rabbit,

Nick is a fine player and i am happy to see him get his due on here. That being said Lindensmith is the assistant coach's nephew. John has started for two years at short and nothing short of an injury will change that this year. I do know Nick did quite well this summer and really hit the baseball when he played for his Thunder team. I am looking forward to Nick having a big year. That being said the cupboard is not bare at Central and if the pitching comes around outside of Baker i see another regional trip for the Crusaders,

Jackson, if they get the pitching will be a force in the Fed. They have a strong senior class that was stuck behind a very fine senior class last year. There were some players who played on other teams or passed on summer baseball to prepare for football. The kids who did the latter can definitely play ball. I think Boardman will be Jackson's biggest competition in the Fed.

[Hometeam]

For CCC, it was nice to see some players come off the bench and get the opportunity to really produce when it came tournament time.

once again that is not ture WHATSOEVER.....he has told many players they suck and has diminished the hopes of many aspiring players

It probably was Baker...although Keller was a great player. Keller didnt play until later in the tournament

Lets just get the thread back on topic.

No, it's Coach Lindesmith's nephew who plays SS. The Crusaders will be strong again this year but may have to rely a little more on their pitching this spring with Myers, Baker, and Snopel.

[monomon]

1. Jackson return a good senior class

2. Alliance great pitching, should have no problem winning league

3. Central Catholic solid returning pitching staff, always tuff, nice underclassman Defending State Champions

4. Perry led by hardthrowing Messer

5. Canton South

6. Louisville

7. Marlington led by lefty Summers,Stinson, strouble good nucleus returning

8. Lake Center DIV power #6 State 08

9. Glenoak super hitter TJ Sutton(Kent State)

10 Hoover


others: Massillon,Hoover, Lake, S.Valley, St Thomas

[baseball'slife10]

jackson isnt returning much of anything from last years team and i think it is hard to put them as the team to beat in the county after losing all of those starters and almost their entire varsity team.

[bushman20]

After scouting an watching alot of baseball last spring here are my top ten Stark teams for spring 2009:

1. Jackson return a good senior class

2. Alliance great pitching, should have no problem winning league

3. Central Catholic solid returning pitching staff, always tuff, nice underclassman Defending State Champions

4. Perry led by hardthrowing Messer

5. Louisville no 1 pit. in Seaman

6. Lake Center (4) solid pitchers , return 7 starters, have areas best frosh in J.Wagler, no 6 in state 2008

7. Marlington led by lefty Summers, good nucleus returning

8. Canton South led by lefty Wilson, Fetters

9. Glenoak super hitter TJ Sutton(Kent State)


others: Hoover, Lake, S.Valley, St Thomas

Seaman isn't even the best pitcher on his team let alone the conference or county. There are at least 3 or 4 others better than him in the NBC alone

[monomon]

I just had Seaman as one of Louisvilles top pitchers. Who are the best pitchers of the NBC in your opinion? Give me your top ten teams.

[monomon]

The Stark Co teams in the Fed are down this year. Alot of teams are going to have untested jv players moving up. Jackson has a strong sr class, that has won alot baseball over the years. Who are the top returning pitchers with experience in the Fed in Stark?

9. Glenoak super hitter TJ Sutton(Kent State)


others: Massillon,Hoover, Lake, S.Valley, St Thomas

Perry will not be anything special an average team at best, and glenoak has TJ Sutton and Joe Monnot and nobody else if teams pitch around them they have no chance.

[Caju]

Perry also has Thomas? a young junior pitcher who did well in the summer and fall.

I like your picks. Alliance has the pitching to be the top team on here but the top three you have listed could easily be number 1. Potts for Louisville will probably be their ace. Does Hoover have anything coming back?

Revised Top Ten:

1.Central Catholic (26-3) Defending State Champs, Solid 3 Pitchers in Baker, Snoppel, Myers

2. Alliance (21-5) 3 solid pitchers in Norquist, Williams, Hendershot possible NBC poy in McClendon, depth may be an issue

3. Jackson (21-4) graduated alot, strong senior class, top 2 pitchers in Rabbit, Cheney. Paul, Hanlon returning starters

4. Lake Center (21-4) Kremer great coach, return 7 starters an top frosh in Wagler, who will be the top player in Stark as a senior, strong pitching will carry them Coblentz,Byler,Locker,Ring,(these last 2 mite have 2 of the better arms around) 6th in state 2008, DIV or not, they have 6 players that could play for anyone.

5. C.South (12-9) Wilson there no 1, Fetters,Grisby,Trissel solid hitters Pitching depth could be a problem

6. Louisville (14-12) Solid pitching depth, always to be reckoned with

7. Perry (16-9) led by Hyde, Messer, Thomas

8.Marlington (21-6) Summers,Stinson, Strouble,Palmer,Lepley,Royer will lead , pitching depth beyond Summers unproven

9. Lake (14-11) soph Stevens there #1, pitching depth will be a problem, some nice players in Chack,King,Smith, Beachy,Howsare Householder is a solid coach and may sneak up on teams, weekends may be a nitemare

10. Hoover (16-9) Pitching depth a problem,unproven, Sommers should be ace of this staff, Meek, watched a nice player for the fall Terriors catching, not sure of name (I like Hite alot, tuff as nails. If u listen, u will learn from this man)

As you can tell, I'm basing alot on pitching depth. This is where it begins.
Others to watch:
Sandy Valley, Glenoak

Central was 30-4

[baseball2227]

central will be up there for sure...they will have a big target on there back this year.

[runnaman24]

I think Hoover will be okay this year, but it all depends on how much work they have been putting into the winter. Meek will be the ace and have to lead being his 3rd year on varsity. Derosiers is a good catcher and hitter, batted over .400 last year. Lots of other positions are up in the air. Others that played some last year were Kohler at 3rd, Ross OF, Green OF/1st, and Sommers P/1st. I think the class coming up has some talent, but they will have to step up on the varsity level.

I see the Federal League being wide open this year with any team able to win the title.

[BgStck45]

Stark County Top 5
1) Canton Central Catholic
2) Alliance
3) Glenoak
4) Canton South
5) Jackson


NBC pitching top 5
1) Nordquist
2) Williams
3) Wilson
4) Potts
5) Summers, Seaman


Nordquist(A)-Very accurate pitcher. Dosen't throw the hardest but his command is very good.
Potts(L)/Summers(Ma)-both Juniors and are great pitchers. Summers had a great changeup and curveball while Potts can throw it mid to high 80's and has a nice curveball as well.
Williams(A)-Big kid, can bring it. Decent off-speed pitch drops him to 4th.
Wilson(CS)-Pretty accurate pitcher. Has a nice curveball. I think he can improve a lot after last season.
Stanley(WB)-Pitched in the district and regional finals last year for West Branch. For a smaller kid he can throw pretty well and has a nice off-speed pitch. Will have to fill Newhart's role from last season. They have no one else.
Others:Seamen(L), Hendershot(A), Mick(WB)

[baseball'slife10]

i think perry will suprise alot of teams this year with 13 returning letterman and 7 returning starters from a team tht tied the school recond with 20 wins this past season. other than weston the didnt lose a full time starter from this past season. they are returning alot of depth in their rotation this year with 5 pitchers coming back from last year including one of if not the top pitcher in the fed with jared messer.

[NBCchamps07 08 09]

5. C.South (12-9) Wilson there no 1, Pitching depth could be a problem



looks like you'll be getting a surprise :stirthepot:

[Caju]

South has another good lefty and a small righty that was tough as nails. :)

[BgStck45]

South has another good lefty and a small righty that was tough as nails. :)


Where?
Wilson was all that South had last year at pitching?

[Caju]

It's going to be an interesting year, I'm anxious to see how some of these boys do. With the high school season so short, if you get off to a bad start it's over. So here's hoping the boys get off on the right foot and get hot when it counts...

[Cscatcher09]

Wilson wasn't all that south had last year we also had McWhorter who was our number 2 and had a good 1st year on varsity taking the mound on thursdays so with the two of them throwing this year it should be a really good season for south

[Cscatcher09]

and i forgot about Parsons who will be a Junior this year and should have a really good this year for south...

[Caju]

Parsons was the righty that surprised me, he looked really good the times I saw him.

[bushman20]

I'm not doubting the talent of this Parsons kid but the question remains as it would with any new guy coming up through...is he good enough to beat the best in the league? This is something the guys currently in the rotation for South didn't do last year.

[Cscatcher09]

Parsons was on the Varsity team last year and when he pitched he did a really good job... Wilson and McWhorter did do that for us last year but we also didnt have a very effective offence to back them up in tight games..

[bushman20]

How did South do against Marlington's lineup last season?

I just don't see 1 player (Parsons) making that big of a difference against teams like Alliance or Marlington. South is returning a lot of experience but when it comes to overall experience and leadership I'm going to give it to Alliance hands down. You won't find a team more close knit than these guys. I know my bias for Alliance kills the credibility of that statement but it shows on and off the field...anyone can see it.

[Caju]

I wasn't trying to imply that Canton South was as good as Alliance, just saying that I was surprised and impressed by Parsons. He threw against some very good hitters from Northern Ohio and looked very good. Also did well against some other good 18u competition, it doesn't mean that he won't have a bad game here or there. Sonny from Wadsworth had some outings where things didn't go his way in hs and he's in the Majors, so I suppose it can happen to anyone... :)

[Johnny Bravo]

I wasn't trying to imply that Canton South was as good as Alliance, just saying that I was surprised and impressed by Parsons. He threw against some very good hitters from Northern Ohio and looked very good.

He pitched well this fall also (or perhaps that's what you were refering to by stating Northern Ohio?).

[Cscatcher09]

Last year we split with Marlington won the 1st at there place and then lost the 2nd at south in extra innings...

Stark County Top 5

Bushman, what is your reason for having GlenOak so high? Last year I was not too impressed with them and I know that South beat them twice but you have South under them? Just Wondering! :shrug:

[bushman20]

Bushman, what is your reason for having GlenOak so high? Last year I was not too impressed with them and I know that South beat them twice but you have South under them? Just Wondering! :shrug:

South just did not impress me last year, at all. Two of the few games I got to see last season were the games vs. South and I just don't see it. They do return a lot of experience and that is always a great thing, and a good lefty in Wilson but after that I don't think McWorther has what it takes to get the job done to win the NBC. Time and time again we see this come up about having a great 1-2 punch to win this league and Alliance has that on top of better team chemistry than that of any team I have ever seen or played on myself.

I think with Glenoak and South it could go either way for 3 and 4.

[NBCchamps07 08 09]

hahah, maybe if he went to Alliance he would have what it takes.

[bushman20]

Well did he pitch against Alliance last season? If so, I rest my case.

Look...I'm really not trying to bash the Canton South program because Forshey does well with the talent he's given year in and year out. I was asked for my opinion and I gave it. And up to date, the guys we are talking about here have not met the hype they are given. I'm not saying Wilson or McWorther are bad players at all, just a little too overrated.

[NBCchamps07 08 09]

No, he didnt play against alliance last season.

[swingin4thefence]

hahah, maybe if he went to Alliance he would have what it takes.

Thats right! :stirthepot:

[bushman20]

No, he didnt play against alliance last season.

Well then I stand corrected. BUT, he would have a tough time beating out Williams and Nordquist and probably even Brick for a spot in the Aviator rotation.

[NBCchamps07 08 09]

im not saying that he would beat those 3 for a spot, cause they are pretty tough pitchers. But from the way you made it sound, you dont know much about him since you only got to see 2 south games in the alliance series, so i wouldnt be saying what the kid could or couldn't do.

Well if the kid is legit, I wish him the best of luck. Just not against Alliance :stirthepot:

A birdie told me some Alliance players are ineligable. Can anyone else confirm?

Yeah. They're cancelling the season. lol

[downtowntinabrown]

Is there anyway we could get back on topic?

[bushman20]

Has Wilson signed anywhere yet? Where is he getting looks from?

[bushman20]

A birdie told me some Alliance players are ineligable. Can anyone else confirm?

Like any school, there are always a few players on the bubble and this is the case with Alliance. But none that are in serious trouble with grades or anything.

[Cscatcher09]

Wilson has commited to Eastern Illinois

[bushman20]

Thanks 1's!!


Congrats to Wilson. What are the chances he'll sign?

[Cscatcher09]

WIlson has already signed with them

[hot corner09]

He was telling me the other day in the weight room that hes going to eastren for his first two years where ---- be a big part in there rotation from what their coach told him. Then hes got it worked out to transfer to texas a &m. Hes been talking to a & m's coach cause one of our assistant coaches is kinda tight with him. Thats just what he told me. I didnt really know you could work out a transfer two years early

[hot corner09]

ha my bad i ment he'll

[Bud1024]

Transferring is not as easy as it once was. One should be very carefull in assuming that.

I don't think this is something you should have put out here on a thread. Transferring isn't something you can just do. But I wish him the best of luck with whatever he does.

[hot corner09]

I didnt say it to put his stuff out there or anything. People were just talking about it so I thought id clear it up. my bad

A&M as in College Station? Or one of the other campuses? Not doubting what the player said, but A&M traditionally doesn't recruit outside of TX too much and almost never outside of the SW. If he does end up there he'll have a blast. It's hot as heck and Olsen Field is great.

Hey bushman where is your boy Saunders now a days?

[bushman20]

Hey bushman where is your boy Saunders now a days?

Marietta.

[downtowntinabrown]

Saunders has a shot to start as a freshman for marietta this season. Great kid.

[julioII]

Thats not what i hear. but maybe you would know better.:eek:

[BgStck45]

Did John Lucore from Marlington end up playing at Marietta?

[bushman20]

Thats not what i hear. but maybe you would know better
Saunders has a great chance of getting Varsity playing time this season as a Freshman, if not at Shortstop then at Third. I keep in pretty good touch with Tim and hear nothing but good things about what he has going on for himself down there.


Did John Lucore from Marlington end up playing at Marietta?
Last I heard about Lucore was that he chose to focus on his education at Marietta and is no longer playing. John's a great kid, best of luck to him!

Just out of couriousity what do you want him to say...No im not doing well here and I think I am going to move home. Of course he is going to say things are going well. BTW: Doesn't Marietta have a All American on the left side of the field or did he graduate?

3) Glenoak
4) Perry
5) Boardman

The rest wont make an impact on the league

Im not sold on GlenOak or Hoover yet.....I think that Hoover has the talent, but GlenOak only has a couple of notable players and they can just pitch around them. Boardman always has some good talent and Perry finds ways to be in it. It will definitely be interesting in the Fed this season.

Saunders has a great chance of getting Varsity playing time this season as a Freshman, if not at Shortstop then at Third. I keep in pretty good touch with Tim and hear nothing but good things about what he has going on for himself down there.


I'm guessing he's not playing 3rd unless Cimino is going to move over to 1st. He was only a Jr. last year and he was All-Region at 3rd. SS could be another story though since neither of the kids that played there set the world on fire. Regardless, best of luck to Saunders.

Back on topic for the thread...does GO have a lot of maturing talent? I thought they struggled last year so I was curious why they've come up several times on the thread as a top team. Not doubting, just asking.

Might not be a Fed league thread but it is a Stark County Baseball thread and all the teams except Boardman are Stark County teams so they can be the topic right? :shrug:
