Who is the best pitcher in the 15th region, IMO it is Shane Grimm @ P-ville

I think he is probably the likely choice. Maybe we will see more from some of the younger guys this season, but I agree with Grimmie as the choice right now.

Without a doubt, I'd have to go with Shane Grimm.

I agree as of right now. I don't expect anyone to step up to his level this season.

Without a doubt Grimm
Not in order
1.Shepherd-LC
2.Grimm-PHS
3.Little-AC
4.Lyons-PHS (might be the best by seasons end)
5.Michael-LC
6.Cyrus-LC
7.Conley-JC
8.Parker-JC
9.Vance-JC
10.Huffman-Pikeville
Seems like there will be a young groups of pitchers running throught the region this year.

All looks good here except I would take Nick Vance off. He is a good pitcher don't get me wrong but he is not one of the best in the reigon. This thread is pretty much meaningless as of now we should start saying who we think is the best when the season starts.

Really biased picks by every one. Not a soul has mentioned Dillon Stiltner from Phelps. He may possibly be in the top 3 or 4. When it comes to knowing how to pitch , being able to locate, and chang speeds, He is #1, bar none. Lacks velocity , but he is a lefty. A little more velocity and he puts Grimm to shame. Grimm gets all of the publicity but Stiltner can pitch!! Stiltner just plays in the lost part of the baseball world that nobody knows about.
From what I am hearing Like Huffman may be out this season with a torn rotator cuff.
One that should be considered is Jeremy Stacy from JC.
Brady Horn could probably be in there somewhere.
Buck Martin from Pike Central could be in there somewhere.
What about Crowder from AC?
Since Daniel Harmon is not playing basketball, he may be able to slip in there somewhere if he has done anything at all over the winter. He didn't look to bad last year..
And by the way there Knockoutking, Nick Vance did beat Lawrence Co. last year, had like a 5-1 record, came into relief in the semi state championship game and shut Letcher down in a very crucial situation and should very definately be considered in this group.
I dont think there is any way that you can legitimately pick a top 10 right now because this year pitching wise is very young and there is a lot of wait and sees on how some develope and see which ones may have already reached thier peak. Really almost impossible to do at this point.

I agree 100%!! I have watched Dillion pitch from his little league years up and he IS an excellent pitcher. He also is very dedicated when it comes to working on his baseball skills. At least he used to be. He has a GREAT family support in both of his parents and I have never known him not to go out and give 100% at every game he participates in. You are correct, he can change speeds and he has a nice curve ball. I do believe he is ONLY a junior this year as well. Thank you for mentioning this young man. I do believe he is one of the best in the 15th region....

I do believe he is one of the best in the 15th region....Your welcome. If he had about 4 or 5 more miles an hour on his fastball, he would be recruited by half the college world. He is about as poised and confident on the mound as anyone I have seen in high school. He has pitched against some better competition than what he will face in the 15th region and has been dominate.

well half the reason there are only 57th district kids being mentioned is due to the fact that no other team in the 15th region has a shot at winning the region..it will come out of the 57th, so half the kids that are mentioned no one gets to see because they dont even hardly make the tournament

What does having a shot at winning the region have to do with anything? A lot of players that I mentioned play on teams that play teams in the 57th district during the regulat season. It's not like nobody will ever have the chance to see any of them. I am a strong supporter of 57th district teams myself, but it is a little arrogant to think that some of the others that I mentioned are not good players as well.
A couple of kids that I mentioned can very easily beat the big 3 in the 57th. If you remember nobody thought that LCC could beat Fyffe in the semi state either , did they? Guess what, it happened. This is baseball. Anything can happen.
The thing is that when you get to the regional tournament there will be two teams out of the 58th, the 59th, and the 60th there as well. It is very possible that one of the two that comes out of the 57th could go home after the first game. I would hate to be any team in the 57th having to face Stiltner in the first game. You had better not count Pikeville out either. The best I remember they beat Paintsville @ Paintsville last season, rather easily.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU....I THINK I WORDED IT WRONG WITH WHAT I WAS SAYING...I SIMPLY MEANT THAT SOME PEOPLE WHO WATCH THE REGION ONLY HAS A CHANCE TO SEE THE REST OF THE TEAMS(BESIDES THEIR OWN) WHEN THEY GET TO THE TOURNAMENT, AND SOMETIMES THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PITCHERS OUT THERE WHO ARE REALLY GOOD BUT NO ONE WILL SEE THEM BECAUSE OF THAT....ARROGANCE IS NOT WHAT I WAS GETTING AT I APOLOGIZE...

Stiltner is indeed one of the better pitchers in the region. I also like Crowder from AC with Little out Crowder should really get a chance to shine. But the top one going in is Grimm, but good luck to all these young men. also I almost forgot the kid from Pike Central not sure of his name.

Grimm - Paintsville
Lefty
01-28-2008, 07:17 PM
The only problem with this thread is that some of us never actually get to see ALL of the pitchers in the 15th region. We have to read about them in stat listings or a few written columns in the sports section of an area newspaper.
As of right now from those I have seen pitch last year it would be Shane Grim from Paintsville.

Just about everybody on here will state that as being Grimm.

I can't see how you've never seen Shane pitch, if you follow the Tigers.

ive know shane since he was younger, dont question my love for the tigers..haha im just kidding...

ive know shane since he was younger, dont question my love for the tigers..haha im just kidding...Known him since he was young, interesting but like you said, you're a Tiger fan. Most who follow the Tigers, would know Humphrey has been the starting CF for 2 years and will be his 3rd, this year but you hadn't heard much of him until last year, but enough of that.
Grimm is very good, size and the best in the 15th. Stiltner another good LH. Shepherd is young but tremendously talented and will get even better. Little is very similar to Grimm, except RH and hope he recovers.
Several other very good pitchers in the 15th Region. Always enjoy the baseball.

i agree about shepherd, i think they mentioned he was an eighth grader last year and he started in the regional championship game...i was really impressed watching that game and his composer on the mound...Grimm i agree is hands down the best pitcher in the region...i was really interested in the kid from phelps...leftys arent very common in the 15th..well good leftys that is...how is phelps as a team when he is not pitching? i mean will they be able to compete with the horses from the 57th district if they make it to region? I have heard that little is making very good progress so far with his rehab...he's a good kid i hope he comes back by the end of the season and has a solid year, im just wondering if he'll ever be able to throw like he did before the surgery?

well if he's throwing in the low-80's that will be good for the cardinals they are going to need somebody with a little bit of velocity to be able to compete this season in the 57th, but im sure mike hall will have his team ready to compete when it comes time...

I haven't seen the first name from Belfry on here they have 4 very good senior ptchers. Tyler Dotson along with Robert L Runyon Shane Williamson and Ryan Preston. I heard that Dotson and Williamson are throwing in the low to mid 80's . Preston has wonderful junk along with Runyon.

i really apologize but i seen dotson and preston throw last season and they are not mid-80's...even if they were they are not up on the same level as the pitchers we have been talking about...

please dont comment on somthing you know nothing about. I am very close to the Pirate baseball program and know for a fact Dotson and Williamson are throwing in the 80's. last year has nothing to do with anything, Fyffe was throwing high 70's his junior year and came out his senior year throwing 90.
you have no clue how much work thses players have put into this offseason.
your 100% right , you will see.

I'm sorry, but i know for a fact that Fyffe hit 80's his FRESHMAN year during Central's trip to state. I am very close to the JC program, just the same as you are with the Belfry program, so i for one believe that they are also throwing 80's but i just wanted to clear that up on Fyffe.

Just like you asking me not to comment on the Belfry program, which I will regardless, you can take that same attitude towards the JC program. If you think Fyffe wasn't hitting 80's his junior your sadly mistaken. He was hitting 80 his freshman year and by his junior year he was up to mid to upper 80's. So obviously you nothing about the JC program. Dotson isn't a bad player, niether one of them are, but like I said the improvment will have to be proven because you can't just decide he's one of the best before the season starts, because then you have to look at last year's stats to do that, and if you go on last year he's not one of the best. However, if he has worked like you said then he's maybe improved and like we've both agreed just wait and let them prove it. I have nothing against the Belfry program, but facts are facts.

You are all wrong. Fyffe did not hit 80 until his sophomore year. His junior season he threw 81 to 83 and only hit 84 twice his entire high school junior season. He hit 88 in July after his junior season at the Kentucky Junior All Star tryouts, and turned it up a notch during his senior season and was able to hit the 90 mark a few times.

Well I will admit I did not see it personally I was going on what I was told by one of the assistants there. He could have been exaggerating though, alot of coaches sometimes do that, no big deal I guess.

From what I am hearing Like Huffman may be out this season with a torn rotator cuff.
One that should be considered is Jeremy Stacy from JC.
Brady Horn could probably be in there somewhere.
Buck Martin from Pike Central could be in there somewhere.
What about Crowder from AC?
Since Daniel Harmon is not playing basketball, he may be able to slip in there somewhere if he has done anything at all over the winter. He didn't look to bad last year..
And by the way there Knockoutking, Nick Vance did beat Lawrence Co. last year, had like a 5-1 record, came into relief in the semi state championship game and shut Letcher down in a very crucial situation and should very definately be considered in this group.

I hit against Stiltner last year. Have you actually seen him play? He isn't nearly as good as you say. We rocked him, he is decent but not in the top ten...come on.

I'm really confused again. I've seen Grimm throw alot, but Stiltner I have not. Early you said that Stiltner was better and then you said Grimm was better. I know you did say that if Stiltner had more velocity he would be bar none #1, but you also said as far as knowing how to pitch that he is better than Grimm. I'm not that worried about, but I do know you've seen Stiltner pitch and I respect your opinion, so answer me this. If you had to pick one to be the ace on your team which one would it be, Stiltner or Grimm?

Before anybody starts bashin me for my picks, know that I haven't seen very many teams play in the last two years. So I'm just goin by boys I have seen pitch.
1. Shane Grimm - Paint.
2. Shepard - LC
3. Josh Rodebaugh - Pburg
4. Nick vance - JC

I understand you havn't seen many teams, but do you think there are atleast one more(vanhoose) on Paintsville's team that is better than Rodebaugh and Vance. Just my opinion. I just haven't heard much on Rodebaugh as a pitcher, and i've only seen Vance throw twice last year. Personally, I think Vanhoose is better than Vance atleast, but it's up for discussion I suppose.

Based on experience , I would go with Grimm. But, that is not to take any thing away from Stiltner. As far as spotting and just having a knack for knowing what and when to throw a certain pitch, he does that better than anybody around. In that respect he is much better than Grimm. Grimm has played against more challanging teams in high school, but Stiltner has went up against much better teams than what you will see in the 15th region and dominated on his summer team. Although they are both lefties, they are completely different in the way they pitch. Stiltner is not a great strike out type pitcher, Grimm does tend to get a lot of K's., Stiltner gets the popups and the ground ball type of outs. It's kind of like asking the question of comparing Pedro Martinez or Greg Maddux. Both get the job done, just go about it differently. However when it comes to getting recruited at the next level, the scouts tend to favor velocity.

Alright I think I've got it...haha. I agree with you about college. Lefties are so highly valued on the next level, especially if they have a good change up. What I noticed about college was getting use to good quality change ups. However, to really have one that works you must have a high velocity fastball to counterpart the change up. If you have to get down in the 50's to throw your change up, then your fastball won't be as effective. I understand now about the differences in the two. I look forward to seeing Stiltner. If they make it into the region(especially as a loser) they might shock one of the first round winners this year.

If you have to get down in the 50's to throw your change up, then your fastball won't be as effective. I understand now about the differences in the two. I look forward to seeing Stiltner. If they make it into the region(especially as a loser) they might shock one of the first round winners this year.
I have to agree with Mr. Kimball.... Dillon is a great lefty who HAS improved in every year of play that I have watched him.... ( and this has been since he was about OH........ 8 years old)...... He parents are GREAT supporters of his and stand behind him every step of the way. This basically is a kid who would play baseball year round if possible!! You have to remember that Dillion is also only a junior and has this and another year of play. I expect great things from this young man AS a part of a team........ I KNOW he is very well capable of doing it!!

I understand you havn't seen many teams, but do you think there are atleast one more(vanhoose) on Paintsville's team that is better than Rodebaugh and Vance. Just my opinion. I just haven't heard much on Rodebaugh as a pitcher, and i've only seen Vance throw twice last year. Personally, I think Vanhoose is better than Vance atleast, but it's up for discussion I suppose.
J.D. never pitched when I watched Paintsville, and I watched probably 10-12 games last year. From what I heard last year, JD doesn't wanna pitch.

Well I did hear that too about last season, however, this year he won't have much of a choice with the staff they'll have. And I do think he will be a contributor on the mound. When he does pitch I think he will be better than alot of pitchers who have been pitching their entire high school career.
I hit against Stiltner last year. Have you actually seen him play? He isn't nearly as good as you say. We rocked him, he is decent but not in the top ten...come on.
*Edited for spelling/grammar
yeah i dont know who you are, or who you played for. But Dillon Stiltner is probably atleast in the top 5 in the region. You may of rocked him one game, but even Nolan Ryan had an off night. i guarantee it wouldnt happen again.

Runyon, Williamson, Dotson, all good and all seniors from Belfry.
I don't know your definition of good...but these pitchers have not made any noise in the region that I know of....maybe this is their year huh!!!

Well. Belfry has 2 dominant pitchers. The 6'8" exchange student from Russia has a fastball around 98 and a curve ball that would blow your mind. He is projected to go in the 17-20 round in the MLB draft next year. Not to mention the 5'6" gunslinger from Guam that just transferred. He can't even break 80 but his "junk" is unhittable. These pitchers should dominate the 15th. There ERA shouldn't exceed 1.00. This will be some season for the pirates.
This is horrible for us Pike Central fans.:(

You know this is actually rediculus. If Belfry has some kid throwing 98 MPH you better believe that the rest of the region as well as the state would have already heard about him. So I really don't believe any of this for one second. I wish there was someway we could find out what in the world you are talking about.

Haha, that's just make one thing real clear. I could care less if I **** you off. Alright, now all I want to know is when did they get there? And where are they hiding because you also said they played basketball and nobody has heard of him there either and that season is about over. Just doesn't make sense. Obviously i'm not the only one that thinks this is crazy.
It's all blow.
It's all blow.
I would think so. This is the craziest thing i've ever heard in my life. You know as well as I do if Belfry even had somebody new that only threw 80 they would be on here telling everyone he's the best in the region and he throws 90+. Anyway, I hope we can go ahead and squash this nonsense.

just because everyone on is is from paintsville doesnt mean shane grimm is the top pitcher in the region. i think before all of u paintsville people jump to conclusions shepherd from lc is by far a much better pitcher than grimm

Shepherd is a good pitcher but Grimm has the experience over him right now, and I think this year Grimm will prove his worth. Not too mention he's a lefty.

from paintsville or not from paintsville Grimm is the best pitcher in the region by far IMO, he is a south paw and throws in the 90's.

Well that's a great compliment and I do agree that he is the best in the region, but Grimm isn't throwing in the 90's...yet! He throws in the mid-80's.

I agree with Grimm as tops right now. But do people not realize the number of major league pitchers that do not hit 90 at all, let alone "throws in the 90's"? And a guy hitting 90 once in a blue moon is wayyyyyy different than "throwing in the 90's". A pitcher hitting 86-88 consistently is much more likely to give ya a good outing, than a guy who soaks up his arm for a couple MPH a few times a game. Does Shane hit 90? I dont know, not in a position to say yay or nay. But either way, should be great to watch him work hitters again this year and hopefully have an outstanding season.

As far as I know he has never hit 90. I was behind the backstop last year for the district game, and the most he hit then was 85.

Actually he worked in the 78-82 range in that particular game.

Well you know how those guns are, the one I read he hit 85 twice, but it was more consistent with what you said. He might have pumped it up a couple of times, or the gun was off a couple mph. That was a great game as far as atmosphere goes though. GEEZE!!!

I agree,,,Grimm is probably the best LHP in the region...But does not throw in the 90's...He actually threw around 87 On his visit to cincinatti (university) last summer.
I am anxious to see What Shepard brings to the Equation this season...this kid seems to be improving each year and IMO is the best RHP in the region...
to compare whom is best might not be fair to say . we might want to look at which kid is most effective and productive for their team.
there is something to be said about "unrealized potential"

I'm unsure of Grimm's record right off hand but I did see on some stats that Shepherd went 10-1 with a 1.45 ERA. I guess it's the posted stats i'm not sure.
