As far as the comment about Class B hitters hitting Landry and Lundy, what Class A teams realy hit Landry and Lundy. Oh yeah NO ONE!!! So basically that point is worthless.
Also the comment about Class B kids not being able to catch up to a pitcher like that. I think a certain Bismarck High star in 2005 named Kyle Carr was a Linton Kid. It seems to me that I saw him get beat routinely in the secional tournaments over the years (I saw him personally lose in relief to LaMoure last year in the sections)because they never made it to state and he was hands down the best pitcher in the state last year.
Are there some TERRIBLE Class B teams and players, of course. There are bound to be when you are playing with the hand you are dealt and are not able to select your team and have a developmental 15/16 year old team as well. However combine an entire Class B section and make an All-Star team out of it and you would get the equivelent population to most of the Class A towns and then see what you get when you put them head to head. Comparing A to B is like comparing apples to oranges.

Quoted for truth.
I guarantee you take the top kids out of a class B section and put them against a class A team, it'd be a game to see.
I guarantee if you take the top kids from A it would be a pummeling you cant say combine a team because thompson coulda beat 5 or 6 a teams
And century put up nine hits aginst lundy i dont know about anyone else but others must have
and elgie throws as hard if not harder than you lorenze it comes

Does that mean Langdon or LaMoure could beat more than 5 or 6 teams?

i would suppose i never saw either play but i believe they would beat 2 or 3 west and 3 to 4 in the east with the addition of vally city this upcomin year Lorenz you may of thrown it 90 (dont believe) but you probly also hit a spectator in the process god knows it didnt hit the catchers glove

Graduated Class B. However I have seen enough State tournaments for both the Class A and B to see what really sets them apart. Basically the numbers available to the program which creates depth (6-9, defensively and on the mound) for class A something that Class B will never have and the level of coaching the details of the game (ie- footwork fielding, hand positioning, throwing mechanics, etc...) There is a reason that you see the same programs have success in class B. Tradition and coaching starting at the youth level. Its no suprise that Langdon had success this year with Schwabe as their coach (played briefly in the Northern League) grooming a talented group for several years. Jacobson played under Schwabe and continued to pass the knowledge along this summer in Legion.
yea, hes one of the best coaches in teh state, b or abisonman wrote:InTheKnow wrote:tanner lorenz wrote:one of the best posts i've ever read:shock:are you from a class a town or b town...InTheKnow wrote:The hardest thrower at the Legion All-Star game this year was Anthony Klinske of Grafton (a Class B kid!) 6'7" right hander that was only a sophomore this year was consistant 86-87.

Another reason for Midkota's success in the class B level, Rick Christianson.
have you ever seen this kid pitch, because i've seen him so many times over the years, dominating kids older than him, ever since babe ruth the kid has been overpowering people with his fastball and this last year getting them out ahead of his new changeup, like baller2 said, his curve is decent, his slider is better than his curve though, i would know, i play with himSaucesauer wrote:
