top HS players in NE ohio

[Devils21]

whos gonna be good this year...

[pcell]

Jason Ferguson from Mineral Ridge
Gatta bros at McDonald

[letgobrowns]

Im sorry, but those three do not compare to the talent which is coming out of the bigger schools in the youngstown area....steve Gruber sp.? from fitch is a top pitcher to look for

[AFbaseball2]

Its Gruver and i agree with you...Ferg is pretty good though

[kzr0]

Campriana and Mace from Tallmadge. Drew Jones from Wadsworth. Lofton from Stow.

[budman57]

pat obrien,carmen tarantino,mike popio,kevin mccollough from boardman

[budman57]

forgot to mention dan kubala and dean porter from boardman.dean is the cousin of ysu's starting catcher anthony porter.

[AFbaseball2]

Naming a Freshman who hasnt even played in a game yet Budman?

[budman57]

if coach hay gives tarantino the opportunity, he will let his bat and glove do his talking.you'll see come this spring.all this negative talk by the other posters is just going to fire tino up

[Boardman Nation]

with out a doubt carmen tarantino can be the best...if he gets a fair shot he may be the best player not only in the Northeast but all over Ohio.

[Shout999]

Ok, Tarantino hasn't stepped on a varsity field, or on a HS field yet. So let's wait on crowing him King, for Boardman, Dan Kubala can have a big year, and for Fitch Steve Gruver by far one of the best pitchers around. Those are two very good players from the FL, and for NE Ohio

Fair shot or not he hasnt even been to a baseball practice for the High School yet...Lets save him for the best players in NE Ohio in 09 at least for the time being geeze. Thats like saying Brady Quinn is an excellent NFL QB, yet the guy never has played a down in the NFL. BN and Budman need to branch out from just Boardman Highschool kids that they talk about.
Back to the Thread, Stetson Ali for St Eds is probably the best Shortstop in NE Ohio. MArk Lapikas for Youngstown Ursuline is a heck of a 1st baseman and a pure lefty hitter. Hes goin to U of Toledo for college.

[tapNeo]

Always amongst the best in NE Ohio. Can this be another GREAT year, only defined by a 3rd state championship ?

[pshs2008]

Matt Pitzulo PSHS

[AAsports]

Cody Umbright & forest boggs both from field local in portage county.

[fevertime]

Since we will see some of the same names in the fed post, we all know who be on here for Boardman, & as well Lake will be Piporo,chack,King,howser Glenoak, TJ Sutton, Jackson ,Alex cahgen.

[Xbomber0]

BJ Willis is a very solid player and should put up very good numbers this year.

[Shout999]

Pitzulo of Poland, big time player...really developed over the past years.

[BDevil41]

Umbright Yes, Boggs, He is okay, but I have seen better! He needs some improvement in certain areas.

[Hornet Dad]

Sanonstine (sp?) from Medina, Johnston & Montesano from Highland

[BENSPAPA8]

All these guys mentioned above, and many more, have the opportunity to prove it on the field of play. That is the only thing that matters. Hype is OK, as long as you live up to it, and then keep doing it consistently.

The college baseball rules have changed recently, and coaches are
still adjusting to them which slowed down the process.

The players who have not signed yet in the early period all have an opportunity to have a great Senior season and move on to college baseball.

How bad do you want it??

Many, many kids are signed later on. Keep working at it !!

I agree with you on Umbright. Good pitching talent with even more potential. As for Boggs I totally disagree. Kid has alot of talent. Good arm, glove and can hit from both sides of plate. Seen him play in Districts last year and a couple of games over summer.

[kzr0]

Papa, great list. I looked at the buckeye scout web page and saw all the early signees! Congrats to all the kids.

[pshs2008]

Matt Pitzulo from Poland is going to be able to pick any school he wants to attend to play. Hes only going to be a junior and he has close to 20 offers.

[kzr0]

Ryan Mace is definately a top player. Also Campriana and Pakan from Tallmadge are tough. Dru Jones from Wadsworth, Nordquist from Alliance, Choban from Hoban, Johnson from Medina, Corfman from Revere, Toland from Walsh.

[111411]

Don't forget Hendershot and Saunders from Alliance, also.

[comets777]

Zach Papesh (RF), Zach Moss (3B and P), Billy Gerstenslager (1B and P0, Joe Welsch (C and P), Johnny Moeschberger (P), and Brad Hirsch (LF) are all good/great players from Solon. Papesh is going to Buffalo and Hirsch is a D1 caliber player who shall recieve some offers. Moss batted third as a sophmore and gained first team all WRC with Johnny as sophmores last year. Welsch was honorable mention as a sophmore also. Bill is a junior this year as the junior class with all of the above players is looking like a special class for Solon

I'm guessing that most of those kids played for the Stampede last year. They were very good. They were very fundamentally sound, bunted VERY well, and Gertenslager was a horse.
