Miller needs to improve swinging the bat and on hitting his spots as a pticher. Maynard isn't the greatest hitter in the world but is a decent catcher, with a weak arm. And not really anyone else comes to mind, As far as very talented players goes. They should have a solid team this year, but it hurts that their best hitter and glove and one of the better pitchers had to transfer.

Nothing against those kids, but it's JMO and I believe they will improve and get stronger thanks to the new Jr. High program. One thing a Jr. High program does for a school is it allows coaches to pick up on errors early and work on correcting them, so that when they get to the high school level instead on working on problems, they can work on improving the good skills they already have. I think that at the Middle School level it is more important to work on the weak points in one's game than it is anything else. But Pikeville is always gifted with pretty good baseball talent and they definitely have the potential to be one of the best in the region in time.
