I also heard that Josh Simonsen from PBK will be playing for Midkota this year because PBK will not be having a team. He is a pretty good contact hitter and a good defensive player. He should fit into the number two hitting slot with Sheldon Harding leading off, Nic Harding in the 3 hole and Josh Quick batting cleanup but after that Midkota is a big question mark they will be a little young and inexpierenced from the 5 spot on down in the lineup. I think the two Harding boys need to have a good year on the hill for them to be successful and simonsen and quick will also have to put in some good innings if Midkota wanst to compete this year in region 3.

olderbak is not the best pitcher in this region imo. This is what I think Severson,S. Harding, Nichols, then olderbak! johanson i dont think is even top 5 i would put nic harding, berg from NRS, and maybe Luehring on the list befor johanson.

I think Olderbak is the best pitcher in this region hands down. He throws low 80's with a good slider. Nichols throws hard but needs to develop an off-speed pitch. I'm not going to rip Severson for not throwing hard, but until he does i don't think he's on the same level as Olderbak because I don't think one's off-speed stuff is much better than the other's.

can olderbak throw strikes? from recent years nichols and severson have thrown strikes and done pretty well doing it, olderbak can throw high 70s low 80s but he cant really control it, his slider is good though, when hes on hes the best pitcher in the region but if hes not, hes just an average one

Hands down.... NO WAY. Nichols has a decent off speed pitch so you are wrong there. Severson throws mid 70's which is not that slow so again wrong there. Plus Harding can hit his spots, throws somewhat hard, and has a nasty breaking ball so again you are wrong. Olderbak is not the top pitcher espically after his shoulder injury.

well regardless of how hard they throw...lorenz can agree w/ me on this...you do not need to throw hard to be successful....keep the ball down and dont let pitches hang....pound the zone....location location location

Exactly, thats why Severson and Sheldon Harding are effective... They dont walk people, throw strikes, and have good breaking balls. Nichols throws harder then Olderbaak, but Olderbaak has a better breaking ball. Olderbaak is tough, when hes on. I would say last year Johannson was a better pitcher then Olderbaak from my observation.

yup, but u can get away with a lot of high fastballs in north dakota if your nichols or olderbak...but throwing low is huge in pitching at any level, but in college ta...theres an extent to how hard a pitcher can throw to be effective...75 mph pitcher who paints the corners...he'd get ripped down here dont u think?

Who cares what Lorenz thinks he is a edited and nobody cares about what he has to say or who he agrees with although i think that you are correct ta it is just an added bonus if you throw hard.

I thought simonsen was going to play for Carrington.

How could he? Carrington and Kensal are co-oping, so he can't go to play for Midkota.

Ok I didnt know that they were co-oping. I never heard that but ok carrington it is i just had heard from simonsen himself that he was playing for Midkota or he wanted to anyway but since kensal and carrington are cooping i guess he can't.
