No Josh Martshing on the list?
Never said 150 pitchers. No idea where you got that from.Originally posted by iowa12:
There is also a pitcher that has won 12 games, has a sub 1.00 era, was 1st team all-state a year ago & has a scholarship to Iowa. Also defending state champs & went 38-1 this year, but he is not on the list even though the 3rd best pitcher on this list is. This omission alone is all you need to know about this list. And don't give me the "he is listed at another position" nonsense. This says the top 150 pitchers. That is what it should be.
He probably should be there. If a kid stands out early in his career at one spot, he usually stays at that spot unless I receive an updated position.Originally posted by MVCR:
Then how do you list Mack Mattke as a pitcher?? he's a .389 hitter with 4 HRs but as a pitcher he has a 5.65 era and opp BA is .365.. sounds like he should be considered a first baseman not a pitcher for your lists.
Where are you getting the top 150 from?Originally posted by iowa12:
correct. The title says "Top Pitchers in the Class of 2012". when one of the top isn't listed in the top 150, you can surely see the confusion. It's not like it's an all-state team where you have to back guys into certain positions.
Not disagreeing with this at all. There are a lot of athletes who play a ton of different spot and their positions are debatable in some cases.Originally posted by iowa12:
ok..."top pitchers in the class of 2012". Does it matter? It doesn't say..."top pitchers that do not play any other position on the field". It says top pitchers so that's what it should be. Whe you leave obvious top pitchers off, you are going to get this reaction.
My purpose of this site in general is to help promote high school athletics and as many high school athletes as possible. While it apparently does not fit perfect into your criteria, I think it fits with my general purpose of what I am trying to do with the site. My apologies that it doesn't fit what you are looking for.Originally posted by iowa12:
your titles are misleading. You say top pitchers when in reality, you are simply making all state lists. The problem is that an all state list is typically just three teams so you are picking the best players & then backing into positions. In this massive list, what you are doing does not make sense & defeats the purpose.

Big difference between Luke and Brent. Luke's writings are his journalistic opinion and he never tries to state different or force them on you as being the gospel according to the book of Luke. Much different than how Brent views his rankings!
