I got curious and thought I would see how Kentucky Mr. Baseballs are doing now that they are out of high school. Here is the latest for the last 6 award winners:

2006 - Nathan Adcock - North Hardin: Selected 141st overall by the Seattle Mariners in the 2006 MLB First-Year Player Draft. He is 0-3 this season with the Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers with a 3.52 ERA and 30 strikeouts.

He was named a 2007 Pre-season All-American and named to the Brooks Wallace Award watch list, which is given annually to the nation's top college baseball player. He is currently recovering from surgery he had on his hand back in March.

We (Paintsville) played them my Sophomore year at the Boyd County Invitational and Sowers pitched. We beat them in the semi's then Boyd beat us in the finals. Crazy seein someone you played and batted against pitchin in the majors.

I remember my freshman year at AC, we faced Steve Blevins when we played Lawrence County in the Semi-State round. He was a sophomore and was clocked at 88 mph. He didn't win Mr. Baseball, but he seems to be having success at the University of Cincinnati, which is a D-1 school. It's kind of surreal isn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if one day he was pitching in the majors.

I agree Blevins was a beast and threw hard. I watched in against AC in 03 and he dominated, but then I watched him pitch against Apollo in the final 8 and he didnt look so dominating, but he damn sure is making up for it now. I cant see this kid pitching in the majors as well.
