[Strikeout King]

For the second time in three years, a Warren East pitcher is Mr. Baseball.

Hunter Green is this year's winner, after the Raiders' Mark Biggs won the award in 2011.

The senior left-hander was the 59th pick in the major-league draft last week. The Los Angeles Angels took him in the second round.

Green, who will play at the University of Kentucky if he doesn't go pro, had 221 strikeouts in 102 innings over the last two seasons.

Woodford County pitcher Clinton Hollon, who was taken by the Toronto Blue Jays as the 47th overall pick in the draft, was runner-up in the Mr. Baseball voting conducted by the Kentucky High School Baseball Coaches Association.

He also signed with UK last fall but is expected to go pro.

Bill Miller, who led Pleasure Ridge Park to its fifth state title, was named Coach of the Year by the KHSBCA.

Only 4 from the 14th region and none are from Letcher Central who won Region.


2nd Team All State: Alex Hamilton (Breathitt County)
2nd Team All State: Jordan Olinger (Hazard)

Honorable Mention: Austin Johnson (Hazard), Billy Hatmaker (Powell County)




Who ever done this has to be joking because they don't know what they are doing

[Strikeout King]

Who ever does these does not know what they are doing. Letcher Central won the 14th region without allowing a single run and they don't have a player that gets any nomination for anything? I mean seriously? Estill beat Powell twice (first time Estill beat Powell, Corey Thomas beat Billy Hatmaker) where is Thomas mentioned at? (Second time Estill beat Powell, Jacob Tuttle pitched 6 1/3 or 6 2/3 and struck out twelve allowing like 2 or 3 hits, maybe 4 without allowing a single run) and he's not mentioned? Kameron Conley 8th grader from Hazard who is phenomenal isn't mentioned? Their was a lot of 14th region players that deserved to be nominated on this list too.


I'm not taking anything away from the players that were mentioned they all are very good players and the ones that return for next year will have an impact on their teams

[LeeCoUKFan]

In addition to being name to 1st Team All-State, Southwestern's Logan Starnes was named 12th Region Player of the Year. He is an EKU commit and just found out today that he has already been guaranteed to be the backup Catcher by the coaching staff and will most likely be starting some, if not all, the non-conference games next season.

[Tubby Hater]

Olinger from Hazard was a nice player but not sure I agree with 2nd team all state.

[jackrabbit22]

Congrats to Olinger from Hazard for making second team All-state you did deserve it.

[Bob Seger]

^There must be 5,000 Olingers living in Hazard!!!!!.......They never seem to end......lol


Anyways, congrats to him as well.
