No Paintsville is not the Favior in the 15 at this time. Like the last 10 years the 15th will run threw JC The favior team in baseball is who has the best pitching. That will be JC if Ferral is 100% (which is a big question). Second I would put Paintsville and LC. Paintsville if the get Brax, Gunner and Barren elegable they will have the best lineup in the Region LC will be very well coach and have solid lineup and solid pitching. Last Pikeville is the dark horse with coach Simpson

I disagree with what you are saying. JC doesnt have the best pitching staff in the 15th region. They have the best “pitcher” but not the best staff. As a knowledgeable baseball guy, and it’s obvious that you are, you have to know that when it comes tournament time, you can only ride one pitcher so far. It takes more than one arm to win a playoff series. I am in no way saying that JC doesn’t have anything other than Farrell but after him they are just average pitchers. I’m not from LC and it pains me to even say it but I would have to say that I believe they have the best staff of pitchers in this region. And as far as the lineup goes I think we would have to look at Paintsville as having the best lineup top to bottom in the region. All four of the boys that is returning from Ashland have already been ruled eligible as of last Friday. So we can go ahead and put that saga to rest. It’s almost time to play ball and we will find out come May who can put it all together.
