Updates FALL Games/Practices anyone?

lotta baseball being played ou there and starting to wind down the next week or so WHAT the heck has been goin on at the "next level" what is ithe deal with all the proverbial studs who are at the "next level"? Class of 2004 are there ANY out their still playin????? :huh:

 

I went up to Chapel Hill yesterday and watched them play a looooonng intra squad game.

Here is what I noticed about the '04's:

Josh Horton-- a charasmatic ss..he is already becoming a leader of the team. He can play..he can hit...and he can lead.

Reid Fronk--good gosh! He is already the best hitter on the team. Hit two shots to the fence and then proceeded to bang a HR...he is amazin'.

Chad Flack-- There is no doubt that Chad will hit college pitching. In fact, Chad will do even better in college because initially, pitchers won't pitch around him. They will challenge him until they realize it's a big mistake.
I believe Chad will enjoy the challenges of college ball vs the frustration in HS when he was lucky to see one fastball a week.

Kyle Shelton-- Kyle continues to show his athleticism, strong arm and quick feet at ss, 2nd and third. It will be fun to watch him battle and push Mangum and Horton.

Tyler Trice-- Tyler looked great!!! Although he said he felt a little rusty, he had movement on his FB and command of his CB. He was nearly unhittable in the 3 innings he pitched

Mike Franchinei(sp)--- Mudcat is right. This West Henderson grad can bring some heat, but was most impressive was his CB...it's major league. Hard and late breaking.

All the freshman had their moments yesterday. Seth Williams, Andrew Carreker, etc., etc.

I look for the Tar Heels to be rich in pitching, great defensively and need to play small ball....until the younger guys find their power.

One sophomore pitcher not making the trip due to arm injury that has kept him out all fall.

 

How is that one sophomore pitcher doing now?

 

Where are all the...

Providence studs Coach H sent off and garnered them scholarships this past season?

 

Update on the Providence guys (from what little I've heard).

Talked to the Clemson coach this fall (late October) ... he said that Alex Martin had a great fall and they are very excited to have him.

Haven't heard much from Kevin Dietrich at Pfeiffer (but Pfeiffer has a new coach and never updates their web site) Maybe someone has heard from him or his family lately??

Chris Ahearn is up at Western Carolina. Heard he had a nice fall ... maybe rcbbfan can get us an update on him.

John Ahearn was trying to walk on at South Carolina and made the first cuts, but he didn't make it to the final fall roster. USC is possibly the 2nd toughest school in the nation to try and walk-on at (Arizona State would be worse -- they bring in 40+ guys every fall).

Kyle Whigham is on the roster at UNC-Pembroke listed as a C/1B.

Matt Foulk had reported as signing for UNC-P but I didn't see him on the roster, he may be on the development squad or have decided to pursue his education elsewhere.

Bobby Northrup went to Mount Olive but they haven't updated their web site since early summer.

Matt Barker is on the 2005 roster for the Savannah College of Art and Design (NAIA school) as a RHP/IF.

 

Thanks!

NC! maybe someone else can fill us is with some MORE details!?!?! What about Little, Jones, Cutler???
