[Mr.Kimball]

Batting averages are are relative to whomever a particular school schedules. I dont think that a particular players batting average plays much of a part in a position player making this list. A lot of the players on this list are there because they have either been highly promoted or exposed to high profile tournaments or have been seen by the right people on high profile summer travel teams and/or in camps and showcases. You probably have .300 hitters in the Lexington area that are better hitters than some .450 - .500 hitters in the 15th. This list along with most All State , All Area , or All Whatever teams can be highly political to begin with. Some are accurate and justifiable and some are not. I wouldn't get too emotional about it. It's the nature of the beast with these things.

I do want to congratulate Austin on this recognition however. Best of luck to him this season, and keep workin hard, as I know you will.
