North Dakota Preps

Who are going to be the best pitchers from the east?

The top two pitchers will probably be david lundberg and david ernst

Lundberg really??????

Have you looked at stats? 10 cent head or not numbers speak. Besides the east is VERY down this year in the pitching spectrum

Ernst will be the most dominent pitcher in the east no question...WF will have Strahm and Jorgenson who did well last year...North lost their main guys but always seem to have someone step up ..Red River I think will have a solid staff with Anderson leading the way...Wahpeton will be young again..Central may struggle and DL lost their best to graduation...also heard they lost their coach who moved and that will hurt them as he did a nice job with what he had.

I almost forgot about Strahm. We will have to see what the year brings. If he delivers like he did during the summer he will be very solid. North doesnt really have anyone. Wawers from south will also bring something for sure. Not sure if Ernst will "DOMINATE" but who knows. Again we will have to wait to see what the season brings.

Ernst, stop making posts about things you know you're going to be brought up in. If your so unsure of yourself go have your mom and dad tell you how good you are.

ernst is very overrated. the east is going to be down this year, especially in batting. if ernst played any good competition, he would have a terrible era

Not true on Ernst...he throws hard as has good control....with wood bats he will eat up most competition no matter what year it is. I agree maybe down a bit but seems that can be said every year and then players/teams step up

I definately agree with the teams stepping up, but it will be interesting to see who the lights out pitcher this spring in the east. And NO, i dont care if you think ernst will be. Lets talk about somebody OTHER than him.

Sorry but he doesnt throw that hard. Guys like Bryant Larson, Jake Nystrom and Eric Jagim threw hard. Low to Mid 80's with a mediocre off speed isnt anything exceptional. Dont get me wrong he is a talented pitcher but i have been in the box with him and he doesnt have anything that will "eat everybody up". Stop talking about yourself Ernst.

Didnt ernst get lit up against good competition in legion? pretty sure at the seeding tourney and state he was less than impressive.

Dl has two good pitchers coming back, one is Josh Janzen, he throws hard. They also have Jared Swenseth. but all he has is a fastball, but he throws hard as well

I hope they throw 94 then

how will Strahm do this year?

Ernst is a great pitcher, you kids need to stop hating on a kid just because you do not like him. The kid has a good fast ball, and I think his off speed stuff is what makes him great.

Someones drinkin the purple drank, ernst is a good pitcher for this year cause ND is down, but he is an above average pitcher. Nothing special....

ernst good control? i saw him pitch a couple times last summer and he was all over the place and ended up losing both those games

Why is everyone talking about ersnt when the real star pitcher is in Williston. aka alex hanson.

no pitcher in this league is gonna win every game of the year. the only one i've seen do that was trevor sorenson his senior year when williston won the state championship. but i'd have to say that hanson is still the best pitcher in the state
