Pacific high school baseball Fine Five
Published: April 9, 2012
I’ll post three of these for baseball, softball and track and field, one now, one just after the Kanto Invitational track and field meet and one after the Far East tournaments.
As far as baseball goes, I’m still of the mind that American School In Japan is the team to chase, and the Far East tournament will remain a chase to see who finishes second. But that’s why they play the games on the field, and not in a ratings chart.
Here goes:
1, American School In Japan. Senior-laden lot is built to last with junior Bessie Noll, sophomore Justin Novak not going anywhere.
2, Kubasaki, Okinawa. Not quite the power they were with all those arms they had two years ago, but still dominant, at least on Okinawa.
3, Robert D. Edgren, Japan. Believe it. The team that made such a deep Far East run last year is packed with good arms and has won every game since a weak opening weekend start.
4, Nile C. Kinnick, Japan. Ross & Ross. Two of the only things you need to know about this lot.
5, Kadena, Okinawa. Some really good, live arms that once harnessed can be dominant.
