baseball_1989 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 how many home runs has he hit this season. im saying 10 or so?
STiger85 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 Who is this person and who does he play for?
Bobcatfan4life Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 Johnny Dishon, Bridge City centerfielder and pitcher
TXBaseball Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 I'm really anxious to see how many he has by the end of the season. He's a great kid, on the field and off. In MY opinion, one of the best to come out of this area in a long time.
East TX Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 I have seen him murder the ball in a number of scrimmages-great athlete. Travel ball exposure has given him nationwide exposure! He has turned down some lower-pay Pro offers thus far. He appears to be hoping good college performances will give him even better offers.
Guest airitout123 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 East TX can you explain how a senior in HS has received some lower pay pro offers?Thanks
cardinal81o7 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 its not an official offer its just talk...i dont think teams can do that untill the draft..
baseball08 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 dishon is a great player hitting a long ball every game but didnt he strike out on his first at bat vs schooling at the bc silsbee game
cardinal81o7 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 if anyone was paying attention to that game...yes he struck out...on a ball 10 yards outside i mean the catcher had to dive out there to get it...that umpire was horrific..you usually dont see our coach get on the umps but that call got his attention
besbolbenbedygud Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 you mean great players are not allowed to strikeout.........EVER...............who knew??? Good luck Dish have a great year kid!!!!
TXBaseball Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Oh MY....a strikeout. Accidents happen >
MIF04 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 No doubts that Johnny is off to a great start. He is hitting the ball well and for power. He has 6 HR to date with district play remaining. To set the record straight, he has not received any offers, etc. regarding the June draft, professional baseball, etc. That has not even been discussed and would not be discussed less he run afoul of the always-diligent UIL. He has received some written inquires from some MLB clubs for initial information, etc. How the draft plays out for him is still up in the air but a good clue would be if/when the scouts start showing up at his games, etc.Do I think Johnny gets drafted? Yes. Will it be high enough to cause him to rethink his commit to LSU? We'll see but it is an extremely deep draft this year, especially for position players. I would think he'd have to go pretty high for that to happen. Also, the ball he hit against Central was a bomb...but it didn't hit on top of the building. It "only" hit about 1/2 way up on the side of the building. But...the legend grows. Gotta love it.
AHUDDLESTON Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Is there a better ATHLETE in the area?
Critter Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Is there a better ATHLETE in the area?IMO, he is the best all around athlete in the area with Football, Baseball, and Track Skills. Good luck in the next level.
WOS95 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 IMO, he is the best all around athlete in the area with Football, Baseball, and Track Skills. Good luck in the next level. no question he is one of the best athletes in the area, and he is definitely a triple sport star. on the football one i'd have to disagree because im a homer ;D earl thomas is one of the best athletes in the area also. you cant take anything away from dishon though, he is without question a tremendous talent and from what i've been hearing an all around good person. LSU was smart to recruit him. 8)
AHUDDLESTON Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Thomas is def. one of the best. What all does he play for the mustangs?
40under Posted March 12, 2007 Report Posted March 12, 2007 Thomas is def. one of the best. What all does he play for the mustangs?Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track. Dishon is a tremendous athlete but Thomas is the premiere athlete in the area.
SteelerCzy Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Dishon IMO is the best all around athlete in the area.
cardinal81o7 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 thomas may play all those but dishon excels in ALL of his sports...could play d1 football if he wanted to, baseball speaks for itself, and probably gonna win a gold medal in triple jump or maybe a relay for track.

Guest kf89 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 D1 football?are you kidding?have you seen the size and speed of the athletes playing D1football these days?HE'S A GOOD ENUFF ATHLETE to play D2 or juco.but not D1.Baseball is the right choice,LSU should be a great opportunity to prove he is pro material.
