Will J.D. actually pitch this year or will he still have arm problems?  I am going to guess and say that Lyons will end up on the mound and probably Rice too.   I think it will be a disaster if Daniel Pugh doesn't pitch.  When he was 12 he was the best pitcher in that group but wasn't allowed to pitch in all-stars.   I think he has the potential to be Paintsville's ace this year because he will work hard at it.   I can't believe he hasn't been given some innings the last few years.   He is the best athlete in Paintsville High School.  Do you think if he had been playing the last few years somewhere else that he would have pitching.... I think so....
[/quote]Grim was the best pitcher when they were 12 , not Pugh.

He never worked on it before why do you think he will start now.Coach Adkins tried to pitch Daniel when he was younger and he was terrible. He would either throw it over the backstop or throw it 15 feet in front of the plate and at that time his arm was preetty weak. The thing that hurt daniel is that he never played junior league or senior league because either him or his dad one thought that he was to good to play with the rest of the guys.just an ego deal all the way around. He could have made a good pitcher maybe if he had worked on it but he didn't work on baseball the first bit. Dont come back with he was working on football junk either because that is not the reason why.JUst because you are a good athlete doesnt mean you can be a  good pitcher .its all coming back to haunt him now.
