2016 Ohio Pitchers to Watch

[Converse Kid]

Who are this seasons top pitchers in our state. With Bloom Carroll's Taran Alvelo and Lebanon's Tara Trainer graduating, who are the dominant pitchers to watch for this year? The players high school and travel ball team information would be of benefit as well. Would like to see as many of these girls play this year as possible. Two who come to mind for me are Keystone's Lauren Shaw and Walsh Jesuit's Madi McCrady. Who are the other up and comers?

Rothwell is back for her senior year at Teays Valley.

Lauren and Madi are not only strong pitchers, they are both extremely nice young ladies

Christina Clark, Avon.

Only negative about Tina Clark is DD has to face her at least twice this year...

 

[HITTER23]

Christina Clark, Avon.

Incredible hitter also, this will be the year she takes her place among the best in the state.

 

[chixdad]

The SWC has become a Meat grinder with the addition of Avon and Midview with Lauren Landers.

 

[GeneralsDad]

Alexis Strothers, Lebanon HS, Ohio Hawks Hutchinson, UT Martin

 

[LADY_KNIGHTS]

Faith Bogard - Gahanna Lincoln

 

[flygirlsdad]

Kianah Towe Lakota East and Elle Buffenbarger Mason are the two names that should stick out in the Southwest. Will have to see who else steps up. Could be Strothers, but don't know how far behind Trainer and Frank she really was at Lebanon.

 

[BouldersDad]

Christina Clark, Avon.

I'm a little biased as far as this one is concerned. She will definitely be a standout

I agree with you about these two young ladies. My DD used to catch for McCrady on Ohio Power, great movement and power. She may look like a string bean but she will throw that rise ball, or screw ball and finish. Would love to be able to go watch some of the names mentioned on this thread.

 

[WWolff]

Without a doubt one of the best in the state is Madi McCrady of Walsh Jesuit.

Great stuff and she wants the ball. A true competitor.

 

[Bink44]

Two of the Best Pitchers I have seen in Ohio are Courtney Vierstra (Hebron Lakewood, Ohio/Miami University Commit) and Andrea Scali (Parma, Ohio/Kent State Commit).

 

[BulldawgsDirector]

Bink, I was Just getting ready to mention Vierstra. Lakewood Senior class is loaded around her as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see that back at Firestone and maybe win it this year.

 

[BulldawgsDirector]

Madison Riggle, Maysville HS/Robert Morris commit

 

[Coach_Tom]

Ok, I will put a vote in for my travel pitcher Adrian Smith from St. Clairsville, 1st team All-State last year in HS, D1 commit, pitched us to a 3rd place finish at 18U Stingrays last summer.

Also, I don't know her name, but the girl that pitched for Ohio Nightmare Gold last summer was throwing smoke at Stingrays, was told she still had one more year of high school, so whoever that is lol, watch out for her too. I believe she is a Kent St commit.
