[Rookieoftheyear]

The 14th will be as even next year as it has been in a long time.

Estill has to replace a ton. They’ll enter the season with no varsity pitching experience at all.

Wolfe loses a couple big pieces but return a solid core with a ton of big game experience.

Perry has to replace Dixon and Hughes which are 2 big pieces.

Letcher returns basically everyone and has a chance to be really good. They’ll also host the region I think.

Breathitt loses Tincher but returns a good group of players trying to get over the hump.

Hazard was really young this year with a lot of talent and just have to replace a couple
Of players.

My Top 5 for 2023 right now is
1. Wolfe
2. Letcher
3. Perry
4. Breathitt
5. Hazard
6. Estill

I do believe you’re right with your pick of Estill. A lot of talent loss to try and overcome when your middle school didn’t have the best of years. 


Wolfe does lose a couple but I think they’ll be fine. Seems to be a common thing there with them making deep post season runs. Wouldn’t think next year would be any different. 


While losing Dixon and Hughes will be tough, perry has a good underclass group to help possibly fill those voids. 


I believe breathitt will be a stronger team next season. Losing tincher definitely hurts but I think they’re solid enough that they’ll move right on forward without her. 


Letcher should be the favorite in my opinion. They lose one person I believe so they should be loaded and ready to go. 


Hazard needs a couple of pieces and a couple more years to be really competitive in my opinion. They’re talented but very young. Solid pitcher would help them a lot.
