Hello all.......I thought this might be a good thread so here goes. Speaking in the SW4A who do you all see as some of the best talent that no one knows about. The guys that for whatever reason they havent been picked up yet on the radar. If nothing else this could be a good way to get a few kids names out in the open. Can't wait to see your replies.....
I posted this on Chlt.com, so I won't bore you with my thoughts, but I would like to hear yours.
...and what's your thoughts about Olympic this year?

I haven't had the privilege of seeing a lot of SW4A JV Ball yet so I can't comment. Who have you seen "O" that you like????

Hey guys sorry for the late reply.........This time I've got two kids for ya from Olympic. With the amount of seniors on the team this year I am doubtful that either will start the season on varsity, but both have the ability to play at or above that level this year. First off is the sophmore transfer Thomas Hovis. He is around 6'1, 6'2 and is a RHP/1B. He was clocked at 83 last fall and has continued to prgress. Other than his fastball he throws his curve/slider which he can throw hard and consistant. And so far it has been very effective. Also he is threat at the plate. He does not hit for power but with an above average bat speed he has an incredible abiliyt to hit in the gaps. Next is another sophmore transfer Wes Waddell. He is a LHP/OF. With an average fastball (79-81) look for him to out smart the batters. He has an impecable ability to throw his pitches with command and can hit any part of the zone. Also to back up his fast ball he has a curve, that when he is on it will break the length of the plate, and a change that he can throw considerably slower than his fastball with a slite downward movement. As he continues to get bigger I'm sure you will see an increase in his velocity. He also has above average bat speed and will hit for base hits. And when he gets on base he becomes a threat to steal. These are my two picks for now from Olympic, I will report on other schools later on. Also feel free to jump in with any of yalls picks, jv or varsity. Everyone is welcome.

I've seen both the guys and your right, they will have a definite impact down the road. I like their composure on the mound.
They look like a good nucleus for a pitching staff over the next 3 years:D :D :D
Where did Wes transfer from?

02-03-03, 05:30 PM
He went to Harding last year but it wasnt a good fit for him so he transfered to Olympic this year.

I was just wandering NCBBALL fan: When did you see them pitch? Maybe it was one of the time I saw them.
NCBBallFan
02-03-03, 07:04 PM
Over the years I've seen both in AAU, USSSA, stuff like that. I remember names and impressions well. I can't tell you teams, but I remember players that got my attention. They both did.
THEBIG"O"
02-03-03, 07:09 PM
Yea I have followed both along with several others for quite a while now.
I saw them both play for the Carolina Blues and love both players as athletes and kids. They are two of the reasons I say Olympic is quickly developing into a contender. Thomas Hovis will be special!
DodgerBlues
02-03-03, 11:30 PM
I agree with the posts about the Olympic players -- Thomas Hovis (rhp) is a special player and can pitch at the next level if he sticks with it. In that Olympic sophomore class I like Wes Waddell (lhp), his Carolina Blues teammate, too, and, if he can continue to improve his behavior, Clay Smith (CAA Black Sox) can hit as well as any of the other guys in this post. Brandon Hill (Blues) is tough to hit when he's on -- he pitched five super innings against the East Cobb Astros last summer -- they really struggled with his curve ball. Adrian Tyson (Black Sox) has a chance to be good, with his speed and defense -- not really a hitter yet.
I really like the Myers Park sophomore class (okay I am biased). Tim Frye (lhp) was on the varsity last year -- he can also hit with power and he's got good speed. Antonio Cousart (rhp -- clocked at 87 at Shildt's showcase late last summer) has gotten it together in the classroom and could be a really special player. Several high school coaches said he would have been in their varsity rotation last year; he was dominant when he was on last summer for the Carolina Blues, and he was on often. He can pitch, go get it in the outfield and hit for power. Cody Drake (lhp -- Carolina Blues) is also a really special pitcher -- a lefthander with pop. If he ever figures out how much talent he has, look out. Jeremy Mathis (Blues, Black Sox) and David Castevens (Black Sox) can both hit very well and are good with the glove in the infield. Add Jack Magee (Blues), a good defensive catcher who gets on base, Scott Brewer, a good all around athlete, and Scott Fry (On Deck Reds), a solid cotact hitter who is steady at second base, and you have a class with eight really good players.
At East Meck, I am a big fan of two sophomores -- Joey Savago (East Eagles, Matthews Cougars) -- a high quality catcher who I hear is likely to start on varsity, and Brett Alter (rhp - Cougars), who knows how to get guys out. They also have some other good sophomores-- Chip Smith and Chad Heiliger (lhp) are two who I remember, but there were several other good players on that Cougars team who are at East.
At Independence, Mark Nicholson (Mint Hill Patriots) is an outstanding hitter with big time power, Daniel Cooke (Patriots) is another high quality catcher, and Trey Starnes (Blues) is a good hitter with surprising power who is solid defensively.
There has been a lot of info on here about South Meck players -- I am a huge fan of TJ Worrell -- a special sophomore. The gem he pitched for the Carolina Blues against the Panthers in Winston-Salem last year was really fun to watch. He was in complete control :smoke: and having a blast, the whole game. He also homered in the game. I hope he iced his arm, because his catcher sure had to ice his hand. It was about as much fun as it was painful to watch TJ dominate :help: the Myers Park varsity twice last season with the inside fast ball. If they'd been using wood bats we'd still have plenty of firewood. I also like Josh Cable, DJ Lingerfelt and Mike Morgan, and nobody works harder than Wes Borden or Daniel Foster. They all played well for the Reds at one time or another.
I have worn out my welcome :talker: -- at least I didn't use as many smiles this time. Other sophomores I like a lot (not exactly under the radar, though) -- Cameron Maybin - no more needs to be said about him, Michael Cavasini (Charlotte Royals) at North, Brendan Van Popering (Royals, Blues) at Catholic, Adam Kelly (Panthers), Dane Arneson (Royals, Panthers) and Corey Demming (Panthers) at Providence, Martin Hovis at Forestview; and Ryan Brown at Central Cabarrus.
I've saved three of my seven favorite sophomores (with Maybin, Worrell, Cousart and T. Hovis) for last -- Drew Martin (Blues, Ashbrook) -- a great kid and a great player -- I can't think of anyone I'd rather have at the plate in the clutch than Drew, and I can't think of anyone who teammates like more; Kyle Josey (Patriots, Butler) -- strong in the field, at the plate, on the bases and on the mound -- a real shot at being a rare 5 tool guy :tool: ; and Greg Miclat (Robinson) -- he can really hit and is great with the glove -- they loved him at camp last summer in Chapel Hill.
I know I've left a lot of good players out, especially those outside of the Charlotte area -- and lots up north of the city, too. You guys will have to help me out -- I can only see so many games -- I have girls, too, and they play soccer.

Great post Dogerblue....Very, very good talent coming up in the SW4A. Everyone is right, Olympic will be a force to recon with. I remember Hovis and Waddell from their days with the Express.
(after thought added later: Harding is REALLY going to miss Wes - they don't have a great feeder system like the schools in the SW4A)
Since were listing quality sophomores, Thought I'd add a few more to the "mix".... For North Meck: (This group will probably be evenly split between JV & Varsity in order to provide playing time).
Michael Cavasinni,IF
Tom Porter,P-IF/OF
Sam Pierce,P-IF/OF
Zack Rosenbaum,P
John Kellett,IF
Greg Allen,P-1B, Transfer from Vance
Daniel Whitmire,IF/OF, Transfer from Vance
David McAuley,IF-P
Pat McElroy,C-OF
Brandon Kelly,LPH
Alan Parks,LPH-OF
Hopewell (Senior & Junior led primarily - Small sophomore class but loaded with good freshmen this year.)
Steve Laco, CF
Brett Richardson,IF/OF
North West Cabarrus (I can see the others faces, but I can't remember their names right now - NW is STRONG):
Blake Ketner,P-IF/OF
Does anyone know where Wil Boyd is? I always thought he was a good player that you should keep track of. Also Brett Bartles?

Using Dodgerblues phrase..Laboy is one of my favorites. An outstanding CF and really good pitcher, but his bat will carry him to the next level.
Another name Dodgerblue mentioned is Antonio Cousart. An interesting twist in this day and age. He turned down basketball to concentrate on baseball....and he is an exceptional basketball player. The kid has all the tools. If he continues to work hard ( from what I hear, he is working very hard), Antonio will be drafted after his Senior year....he's "special". I would rate him, potentially, just below Maybin, but Antonio will make his mark as a Pitcher. Of course, just what Myers Park needed...another outstanding pitcher.:)
Wilson Boyd is playing at Hickory High. Isaac Harrow is also at Hickory High after transferring from Foard.
NCBBallFan
02-04-03, 04:36 PM
Isaac is a fine ball player. Hickory should be strong this year from what I've heard. You guys up there know Joel Burris? He was at Watagua last year, but has transfered to North Meck this year.
THEBIG"O"
02-04-03, 04:39 PM
I'm sure I just foreget after every season, but I cant remember a year when there were so many transfer students that are goin to have such a high first year impact. And it's not like sometimes when you have guys getting recruited by highschools to come play, these are for the most part legit changes where the players just move to different schools.
highntight
02-05-03, 12:12 AM
Brandon Bishopp, Vance, C, Was one of Vance's best hitter last year as a 10th grader.
Ryan Laboy, Central C, OF/P. Laboy went to the Miami holiday camp and got lots of attention from the coaching staff.
Dexter Burris, East Rowan, OF/P, good bat and good speed
John Martin, Forbush , P/IF, This kid has a great arm!
Corey Martin, Yankinville, OF/P, I've seen this kid throw over ten runners out at home from right field over the last year!
Josh Earp, R J Reynolds, IF, good glove and good contact hitter.
Hampton Foushee, Winston Salem, LHP/OF, good arm, bat and speed.
These last five kids are from the Winston Salem area and played for the Jayhawks 15U AAU team last summer. They are talented kids and fine young men.

HEY NCBBALLFAN... HERE ARE A FEW NAMES OF PLAYERS TO WATCH IN THE NPC THIS YEAR.
AL BROWN:BATTLES,MEAD,QUERY,PETTY AND D.SMITH...BROWN LOST A LOT OF TALENT OFF LAST YEARS CO-CHAMPION SQUAD.
NORTHWEST CABARRUS: DALTON,GOODMAN,MCKNIGHT,PATTERSON AND SOME OTHER TALENTED PLAYERS SHOULD MAKE ALOT OF NOISE THIS YEAR.
WEST ROWAN:ADAMS.LINK,WILSON,WALLER AND OTHERS WILL HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH.
EAST ROWAN:STEEDLY.COOPER,CAUBLE AND POOLE WILL COME TO PLAY.
MOORESVILLE: COULD BE A SLEEPER.
THE REST ARE A TOSS UP..SHOULD BE INTERESTING.

02-05-03, 08:31 PM
Have any of you gotten a chance to see Kyle Josey play. If so then you have most likely seen his potential. He is a sophmore for Butler, and is just an all around good kid. But what he can do on a baseball field is unreal and I fully expect him to be one of the top players in the SW4A this season.
reddtroll
02-05-03, 11:43 PM
Kyle is a JR. at Butler;)
NCBBallFan
02-05-03, 11:46 PM
Redtroll.... If you could, give us the skinny on Butler this year. All the people from the SW4A know about HausHalter but few people from outside of the SW4A know much about the guys down there EXCEPT it's a fine group of ball players that no one wants to go play!
Thanks
Brain Johansen is another good Bulldog. My son got to play with Brian and Haushalter a few years ago and I got to see both of them play. I think Brian has done a good job for Butler, switching back and forth between short and second. Ryan has also done a good job going from being a full time catcher to full time pitcher.

Spill it guys!!!
Who are the new comers?
How do they look?
What teams are loading up for the future?
I hate to list names this early in the season for fear of jinxing a specific player or leaving someone out,,,, but I will say that the freshman class at Northwest Cabarrus is as strong as anybody's,,, anywhere,,, at any level.
In fact, the freshmen at NW are "SO" strong, that some of them may see varsity action this spring for sure...
NCBBallFan
02-19-03, 10:27 AM
Hopewell has a very small sophomore class. With the large senior class and decent sized junior class, no real varsity action is to be expected from this group.
The freshman class is very decent but not very deep. All of the pitching will come from the freshmen class who could struggle for awhile.
Summary: The future prospects are not very bright at Hopewell. This may be their "Year in the sun" - my next year, they will be competing for a top spot again, but no longer be favored. By 2005, they will be down, struggling to compete.
The have a limited number of true varsity players in the pipeline.
NCBBallFan
02-19-03, 10:36 AM
North Meck has stripped it's JV team of a large group of leaders, moving them to Varsity for this year's campaign. The surprising thing is that they won't be missed that much. North's sophomore and freshmen classes are that large & deep.
Zack Rosenbaum (P) 6'3" Sophomore, IMHO is a future D1 Top 25 pitcher. Greg Allen (P/1B) 6'5" Sophomore will become a solid Varsity pitcher. This year, he should get the innings he needs to start the process. Both should get some varsity innings this year, but you want your 05's pitching, not sitting. The infield & outfield are solid. Daniel Whitmire & David McAuley will lead the infield. Two lefty pitchers are also 05's - Brandon Kelly & Alan Parks. Parks should anchor CF for the team.
The fresh/sophs up on varsity: Tom Porter (P/1B), Sam Pierce (P/SS), John Kellett (3B), Michael Cavasinni (2B), Robert Profitt (C). Newcomer Zack Pou is also a player that bears watching.
JV Baseball is ruled year in and year out by Alexander Central High School..They have lost 5 games or less over the past 3 years,and this year are lead by a few strong sophomores, and will have plenty of help year from a promising freshman class..ACHS will be going for a 4th consecutive NW4A Championship..

NPC 3A Mooresville
Blue Devils have a strong corps of sophs and a few impact freshmen this season. My only concern is coaching and I would not even mention that but its really bad and has been for a few years now. This group of players have been involved with AAU and USSSA for the last few years and really started playing well as a team last summer. We will see what happens this season.
Key Players:
Justin West 10 RR P,IF
Matt Skidmore 10 RR P,IF
Caleb Diggs 10 LL OF,P
Thomas Harris 10 RR C
Jake Smith 10 RR OF,P
Jacob Wertz 10 RR IF
Seth Ryan 9 RR P,IF,OF
Tank, if you don't know by now, then you will soon be pleasantly surprised to find out that Mooresville also has a freshman (Justin Ogle) that is as good or better than all of those names that you mentioned. Ogle has a nice bat, strong arm and very good wheels. Nice shortstop/leadoff batter type.
NCBBallFan
02-20-03, 09:08 AM
Tank, Wufman
I've seen a lot of progress from the Mooresville guys over the last few years. They have really blossomed into some good ball players. You guys are going to give the conference fits when they hit varsity next year.
NCBBALLFAN, thanks but I'm not from Mooresville. I just happen to follow the local teams in this immediate area.

I know Justin very well, he and my son are friends and have played football and baseball together since middle school. Justin went straight to VARSITY, thats why I did not list him here in this JV thread. Thanks for all the kind words about our progress and good luck this season.
Thanks Tank, it does not surprise me that Justin Ogle went straight to varsity. He's good.
I made another comment about some freshmen at Northwest Cabarrus and folks will soon hear about them on varsity too,,, maybe even this spring. You may know the boys that I'm talking about at NW if you're from this area...
Btw,,, is "Hacksaw" playing JV or Varsity??? Is Hacksaw the Harris kid you mentioned earlier? I happen to know that Hacksaw can hit the ball well, but I'm not sure of his age...

02-21-03, 04:56 PM
Skiddy can flat out fly...
There is an old saying in baseball "If you can hit, they will find you a place to play"
There is a lot of players on every JV team in the county that are "out of position" for where they need to be playing at the H.S. level. It's up to the coaches to move them to where they can excel and give them the instruction to suceed. I always picture Zack as moving to 1B down the road.
Give us an in-depth report on the JV Situation.... obtw: Great to have some JV input on the board -we don't hear from enough players.
smasher39
02-21-03, 11:12 PM
we will have a pretty good jv team this year we just need to find a new shortstop. David mcAuley is the slowest player on the team and has no range. a shortstop has to have range. Zack would be a good 1st baseman if he continues to grow like he is. He hasnt been hitting like he has before. just some view of jv at north meck. also Zack rosenbaum should be a starting pitcher on Varsity he got clocked at 86 the other day at his dads building.
NCBBallFan
02-22-03, 12:16 AM
I've said in other threads that I thought Zack R would be up on varsity soon ... You want all of your top pitchers pitching, not watching... It's kind of rough finding enough work for 3 starters with a lot of seniors hanging around. Pierce was clocked at 86 down at USC in January. Porter has been near the same speed....
P.S. Added later Matt Murphy (Sr) look great in his two innings of work. Good movement, control, poise on the mound. Really good pop on the FB, curve was solid with good downward bite. Impressive outing for the big "Righty". As things go now, he would get the start probably against Providence next friday.
The future looks "bright" for NM pitching.
I'm not one to start rumors, but I had heard through the grapevine that Porter, Pierce and Rosenbaum were transferring to Myers Park..any truth to this?:)

At North Meck, what about Justin Wyatt? Is he playing JV or did he make the varsity squad? Played at Northside last year, started at shortstop as a freshman for the varsity team. Did he make the grades to play at North Meck this year?
NCBBallFan
02-24-03, 01:26 PM
I'm not familiar with the name Justin Wyatt - he isn't on the varsity at North. Smasher39 is on the JV team so he may be able to tell you. North was very deep at the SS/2B position this spring with Juniors & Seniors so it was difficult for underclassmen to stick at those positions.
Another transfer from Vance (a Junior) decided to give up baseball as did the returning JV starting catcher (Soph) from last year - neither tried out.
smasher39
02-24-03, 07:55 PM
i dont believe that justin will be starting this year he did try out for 2nd base but now hes sticking to catcher and it looks like toop or marre are starting back there. He wasnt on the team last year bc david mcauley started all last year.
baseballa4north
02-24-03, 08:09 PM
I really doubt that Toop is gonna start. He probably will for the first couple of games, only because he is a returning player. He has no arm and throws a good ol' lollipop to second. He needs to stick to football. (Dont tell him I said this). Justin Wyatt has a good arm and can block decently (better than Toop). I havent seen any problems with Marre yet, but I'm not expecting him to be anything to great.

DodgerBlues
02-26-03, 06:32 PM
In reply to Braves question (you guys have to teach me how you do that "quote" and "originally sent by" stuff):
I haven't seen the Myers Park jayvees play -- I've heard lots of reports from players and dads, though. I would have seen them today, but the rain took care of that. They should be pretty good.
Anyway, the team beat a weak Huss team badly in their only scrimmage last Friday, but I understand Huss kicked it around a lot. LH sophomore Cody Drake started and looked strong. He'd be in most varsity rotations. I've said this before, but the only thing holding Drake back is Drake figuring out just how good he can be.
RH freshman Ryan Rockecharlie, RH freshman Jordan Cudney, and RH freshman Brown Rogers all pitched well, too. I hear Rockecharlie has a lot of velocity. I hope Coach Stone finds out that Soph RH Jeremy Mathis is a quality pitcher, too.
The infield starters were sophomores David Castevens (3B), Mathis (ss), and Scooter Fry (2b), and Scott Brewer (1B I think). Soph Jack Magee started at catcher; Soph Matt Satterfield also caught a couple innings. Three freshmen started in the outfield -- the best of that group is center fielder and lead off hitter Jack Myers, who has a chance to be really good. Zach Simpson was one of the other two outfielders. I don't know who the other one was.
The team should get plenty of offense from Mathis, Castevens, Magee, Drake, Brewer, Myers and Fry, and hopefully some of the freshmen that I haven't seen yet. I know several really good players got cut -- several of whom I've had the pleasure to coach, so there must be some quality depth in the freshman class.
You didn't ask but let me add that I understand the two sophs on varsity are doing really well. Antonio Cousart is slated to start in center field and may pitch some. He struck out the side in his one inning against Huss. Tim Frye has been impressive thus far, too, and is a likely starter.
baseballa4north
02-26-03, 07:22 PM
Rosenbuam threw three innings, had 3 K's, 3 walks and one HBP. Parks came in to pitch in the fourth, he allowed two runs and also had three K's. Bennet Hamilton pitched the bottom of the seventh and had 2 K's and 3 walks.

What is everyone's opinion of South Meck, Myers Park, Providence , Butler and East Meck's JV teams this year????
SabreFan
03-06-03, 10:09 PM
South Meck's JV team is looking very, very good so far this year. They are beating their opponents in 5 inning games each game although they did come up short again the North Meck JVs! After leaving the bases loaded twice in the South vs. North game, the South JV loss to the North JVs was very frustrating, I'm sure.
The sophomores on the South JV team are very experienced and lead the team. The South Meck freshman are huge this year! I can't remember when I have seen a larger freshman baseball class from any high school in quite a while! With the South Meck sophomores' leadership and bats and the South Meck freshmans' muscles' and bats, the South Meck JV season is looking very promishing in 2003!

These are the players I have seen so far. The defense has been very good with few E's and the pitching has been good except for to many walks. Zack R. looks strong when he has his control. I do beleive that they need to let Allen pitch. Zack Pou has had soon stong hits but in general the bats have been slow to come around. Given the limited play this season due to the weather this team looks to have a lot of potential.
