Pitman looks pretty good. How does Turlock compare? I don't see THS matching pitching at both JV or Varsity.
Varsity:
thats a tough question. Obviously Pitman has the edge as they won all three times last year but both teams have pretty much the same players coming back. I would say that the THS juniors that will get playing time are better that Pitman juniors that will get playing time.
Pitching advantage goes to Pitman who have argueable one of the best pitchers in the Sac-Jaquin Section as their "Ace" and their #2 is a the recipient of a D1 Baseball scholarship.
Turlocks pitchers are also good though. as one is a very good pitcher and the other is a D1 scholarship
recipient also who has unlimited offensive potential. with the potential to be drafted high in the MLB draft if he has a great season.
THS will definatly be ready for CCC League Play as they have lined up a very tough Preseason schedule against teams like St. Marys, Oakdale, Lincoln, Davis (Yolo), and Vacaville
they will be tough battles with the winner being the team that makes the least errors, gets the bunt down, and can get the most walks.
THS has more pitching depth as in if the games get beyond the top 2 pitchers from each team THS will have a big advantage
My prediction is either Pitman wins 2 out of 3 or Pitman sweeps but all games will be very close
===============================
JV:
again this is a tough one. last year as freshmen they played each other 3 times and at that level Turlock won all 3 times. Turlock has the top pitcher in the city of Turlock for the class of 2007, 2008 and 2009 playing on the JV team. THS JV also has a really deep staff with 6 guys that are capable of shutting teams down
Turlocks JV team took a big hit losing 2 starters. But they gained 2 freshmen that will start (King and Woods) that are good hitters/pitchers.
Pitman has also improved with the transfer from Tracy. and adding of a couple of kids that were ineligible last year.
all in all i say those games will probly be close but THS should win 2 out of 3
the team with the most errors will lose.
======================================
Freshmen:
from what i am hearing and seeing Turlock has a talented freshmen class and Pitman doesnt. but they have yet to play eachother and no predictions can really be made until they play some games
but if i had to predict the winner i would say THS sweeps Pitman
