muggs Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? I played on a few traveling teams and one year of JV as a freshman. Depending on the team, I played 2B or 3B and usually hit in the two hole. On some of the better teams I hit lower in the lineup, and I pitched a little too but wasn't the best at that. I had a decent curve and could throw a change pretty good, but my fastball used to get hit hard sometimes. It was a lot of fun and I wish I would have just stuck with it and played throughout High School. Hockey was pretty much a year round thing for me, so it conflicted and prevented me from playing other sports too. I would have really loved to go out for football. I thought hockey would take me somewhere and it didn't. So in hindsight, I wish I would have tried to stick with other sports too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? Back in the day I played 2B and 3B mostly. Sometimes I got thrown into LF, and I pitched. Pitcher was definately my best position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? Played on my high school varsity team from 7th grade on. Was our starting pitcher and played shortsop when I wasn't pitching. Usually batted in the 3 or 4 hole. Had a chance to play college but turned down the smaller scholarship in order to concentrate on my academic scholarship(had to maintain a 3.5 to keep it). After graduation, a friend and I started up a men's softball tournament and played for 5-6 years. Normally played 3B and batted almost everywhere in the lineup. We won state one year and came in 2nd or 3rd a few times. Thinking about joining the church softball team here pretty soon. Trying to get back in playing shape before I do.

toddyboman Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? Baseball was not a sport offered at my Highschool. So only got to play in the summer. I played SS, CF and some catcher. Batted leadoff or 2nd most of time. We had a good team each summer. Sure wish we would have been able to play in high school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? i played tennis during high school so i didn't play on the varisty or any of that...but in our area there is a summer league made up of all the high schools in the area, it was basically made up of all the varsity players, i played on that team... i could have played varsity but just never wanted to....i played 2nd, SS, left and right field...hit towards the bottom of the lineup. it was fun...looking back i kind of wish i would have played all 4 years of high school.

Hillbilly Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? Played in high school, played a lot of centerfielder and when I was needed I played Catcher. Catcher is a lot of fun, because you can sit there and just plain out make the batter angry. The reason I love to play Centerfielder or even an outfielder for that matter is because you can be hated or loved. You can robb a guy from a monster homerun, or you can miss a easy fly ball and lose the game....gotta love the pressue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? I played all the way through high school, except for half of my senior year. I still regret quitting. I've played everywhere, but I usually played third base or pitched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kat Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? played since I was around 5 years old. I was the starting centerfielder for my highschool team all four years in HS. Was also a pitcher my soph-senior year. I won several awards while playing and was recruited to play for Kansas State, East Central, Eastern ( my current school ), and Northeastern Oklahoma State. I was sick of ball at the time the offers came, and since I was awarded an all-state, and LRC conference MVP, I was mister hotshot I thought I was too good and turned them ALL down. I was burnt out. Hate to admit now that it was one of my biggest mistakes. I miss playing ball, and could still easily walk on at any college ( Div 2 ) in the state, but I'm to far into my education and career to go back now. So if ya EVER get a chance to play college ball, TAKE IT! You'll regret it if ya don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unioncountyslayer Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? Played from the time I could walk and my career ended after my freshman year of college ball. My best single season was my senior year in HS when I hit around .500 and hit 8 HR's. I played 3B and occasionally First. My grades really suffered my Freshman year of college and I did not return the following year and gave up baseball all together. But I still love the game and watch it whenever I can. On a different note, I went to the same HS as Daniel Bard, the starting pitcher for UNC last year in the College World Series title game. He got drafted in the First Round by the Red Sox.

colts1888 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? I played clear up through high school. Played all infield positions until i got to high school and then i was starting left fielder for 4 years. I was a left handed hitter but threw right handed. Usually batted in either the 2 or 3 hole. Hit .415 my senior year, led team in hits,RBI's,average and OBP. Also received team MVP and was first team North Central Conference in Indiana. Turned down several opportunities to continue my career in college and boy do i regret that decision. When i was a freshman i was teammates with Aaron Heilman, now a relief pitcher for the New York Mets. He is the one that gave up that HR last year that sent the Cards to the series. Other then that he's done quite well for himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer79 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here?

Hillbilly Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Re: Who all plays baseball here? I just got back from coaching little league. Was about 38 degrees outside and we were fielding and pitching. Awesome even though the weather wasn't baseball weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
