warfan Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 From Warren it was Matthew Adams. Or if you want to go way back, how about Grady Hatton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portnechesball Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 If you base it on High school career its prob Jarod Tate or Josh Mitchell back in the 98-2001 years, there team just couldn't hit those years, and they were the starting the pitchers for all 4 years,but if you base it on who has had the better career no doubt its clay buchholz the guy is a stud. But clay buchholz is the best now but in high school it was prob either tate or mitchell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidortizfan Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 i disagree, buchholz was completely untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_dog Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 For Jasper, probably Phil Hennigan. Pitched no-hitter at state in 1963. 1964 record was 18-3. He was a totally dominating pitcher, and pitched 5 years for Cleveland Indians.There were several good pitchers at Jasper over the years, but never one who so thoroughly dominated the opposition AND took the team to the state tournament as did Hennigan. Oh yes, he had a 1-0 victory over Nolan Ryan in 1963. Also, at the time at least, was the youngest pitcher to ever win a game at state, winning over LaMesa as a 15 year old freshman in 1961.

AthleticsCoach Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 How can you say Angelle from Bridge City when it was Dan Fletcher who was drafted right out of high school back in 2000. He had the unfornate task of playing in the tough District 22-4A which also had Kyle Stutes PNG and Brad Sullivan Nederland. People forget that this district was loaded with great pitchers not only thee three but also Josey Kelly and Michael Dixon from LCM. We didnt have a weak team really that year.

Cat22 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Granger was as good as they come.Not only was he a great pitcher, but he also tied the national record for consecutive games with a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIF04 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 i disagree, buchholz was completely untouchable.Bucholz was a good HS pitcher but he wasn't even recruited as a pitcher. He went to McNeese as a position player then transferred to Angelina as a 2 way guy. The rest, as they say, is history but he was not an 'untouchable' HS pitcher.

EAGLE07 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I remember playing in the playoffs against a kid named Perkins @ LCM in '82. He was lights out that series. Anyone know of him or what became of him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidortizfan Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 well, i caught him several times in highschool, i can remember several games that he was unhittable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portnechesball Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 He's unhittable now, in High school he was great but as a high school pitcher it has to be mitchell or tate. They were starters for 4 years and clay was for 2 years.....also mitchell and tate played in a tougher district......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTB Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Mitchell Started for 4 years and pitched for 3, Tate was a 3 year starter not 4.Clay started for 4 years and pitched for 3.I would say Clay was as good if not better than they were because Tate and Mitchell had better teams around them and didnt have to carry as much as Bucholtz did.

davidortizfan Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 yeah i agree. mitchell was very good in highschool. not sure what happened in college though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portnechesball Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I know he played at galveston Juco and made the all star game and put up very good numbers there, and was a starting pitcher for Texas A&M corpus christi for 2 years an put up descent numbers. But I hear he had alot of arm problems and a couple of surgeys so thats impressive with a bad arm. As for as tate I don't know what happen to him. What is Mitchell doing these days do you know.

portnechesball Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Didn't mitchell get new comer of the year is freshman year???? Also I know he was a heck of a hitter to becasue he killed us when Dustin Long senior year. Yeah but tate and mitchell had to pitch against floyd, sullivan, fletcher,Girdley, Gray, stutes, so thats some good pitchers they pitch against.......I mean who knows I think its Mitchell or Buchholz and whats odd there cousins lol.......

adminbaberuth Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 @Nederland these 4, Eric Cammack, Jesse Floyd, Brian Sanches and Brad Sullivan. I have to think about this awhile, maybe some of our posters have faced these guys and can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIF04 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Here is a list from some of the schools:West Brook - Castolenia was the best I ever saw there. Not overpowering but a pure winner...and took the ball anytime he could get it. Pt. Arthur - McElroy or X Hernandez. Tough call either way.Orange - John Patterson from WOS (and, although I never saw him, they say his Dad was pretty good as well). Beau Hale from LCM was dominant (I never saw Perkins who supposedly was pretty good. Clayton Ehlert, although not the velocity that Hale had, was very good and very much a 'refuse to lose' guy).PNG - I haven't decided. A lot of good arms have come through down there.Nederland - Sullivan.Bridge City - Did not see Fletcher. Angelle of the ones I saw. OF - Granger.Lumberton - Bucholtz.
