To be held in Estill County at Danny Wood field.

What's everyone thinking?

Estill returns pretty much the entire team. They will return all of their top arms (including Adams and Hix) and all of their top offense as well.

Powell lost a TON. They do have some good young players, but not sure they have the arms to compete day in and day out.

Hazard lost 5 of the best seniors they've had in a long time, but we all know how they rebuild. (Praying for Coach Meehan and his family!)

Knott lost a couple of arms, but should be solid again next year.

Letcher lost a couple of their top guys, don't know much about them.

Perry lost very solid players, but have a large school to pull talent from. And they have a young coach who is hungry.

Breathitt will have a new young coach in Hamilton that was a rockstar for them, but not sure he will have what he needs this year. They do have solid talent and coming off of a regional title game appearance.

I would say that Estill would be the favorite going into the season, and they are the hosts this year. But anything can happen in baseball!

I would agree with this. Even though Hazard lost a ton, you still have to prove you can beat them before they are moved from the top. Although I would put PCC ahead of Breathitt, the rest looks pretty accurate.

[Heisenberg Effect]

Estill will thrive in the 14th region if all arms stay healthy. Their defense is almost impeccable and their offense will be exceptional this upcoming year.

[Upthemiddel]

Agree.. pitching and hitting will be good and great mix of talent.. A Freshman & Sophomore in the rotation will make Estill strong and deep with there experienced JR/ Senior staff back.

[Strikeout King]

Estills schedule will make them better. Have heard that they maybe adding some more Lexington schools other than Bryan Station....

[Upthemiddel]

Word is very intense winter lifting, conditioning program going on and All Aboard in Estill.

Don't see Breathitt being the fourth best team in the region this year.. Lost their coach and some key seniors last year. Except a big year from the freshmen who played up last year

Pikeville will be a hard team to beat this year if they stay healthy. Last year they lost their best pitcher early in the year and they are definitely going to be a team to watch in the 15 region this year.
