Automaticall Mick VanHoose from Paintsville (1990) comes to mind he threw 3 no hitters and a 2 hitter in the state finals....who else comes to mind when u think of great pitchers east of lexington

[The Fan]

Willie Blair ---Johnson Central

[corndog23]

Willie Blair and Brandon Webb are the first two that come to mind.

[Matney's Prodigey]

I'll second that

[JOHNBOY1956]

IF HE WAS SO GOOD THEN WHY DID HE CHOKE AT STATE HIS SENIOR YEAR. THE TWO BEST PITCHERS ON THAT TEAM WAS TUCKER HOWARD AND WALT CRACE HANDS DOWN. MICKEY COULDNT HOLD THERE JOCK WHEN IT REALLY COUNTED AND I DONT BELIVE THAT HE HAD 3 NO HITTERS AND A 2 HITTER IN THE STATE FINALS!!!! THAT IS HILARIOUS

Even if BIA was misinformed that 1990 team still one a state championship and no team can do that ridein 2 men but tucker was great and IM he got cheated out of Mr. Baseball that year his BA was through the roof. Walt was a great Pitcher and for that matter could have been big time but Tucker and Walt didnt win the state that year it took all the players on the team

[Pupaw]

Is this for all time best high school pitchers, or the best to do well at the next level?

[brotherinarms]

best all time pitchers east of lexington

[Johnathon davis]

walt Crace, was like greg maddux. easily the best pitcher from here.

[King Kong]

JC head coach Shawn Hall was a good pitcher back in the day. 
Alex Ward for JC was to.  Him and Shawn Hall graduated the same year I think.  JC's pitching rotation with those two in it was a nightmare for opposing teams.  Won back to back 15th region championships. 
Heath Castle was another good pitcher for JC.  He pitched at UK for awhile and was drafted into the MLB.

[Strikeout King]

Jon Kirby (Estill County)

[HatfieldMccoy]

Brandon Webb

[Fanman]

Gotta be Brandon Webb, he's a Cy Young Award winner. And on a pretty short list of MLB pitchers from Eastern KY.

[mandan]

Don Gullet

[Gunslinger33]

Roger and Rodney little from hazard/perry central were studs in my day. Also Roy wells from Perry central was a dang good arm too.

[Radial_Armsaw]

Top of the list has to be Brandon Webb. And same area I believe Boyd County has a couple arms on the team right now that could make it to the league one day.

[Blacksmith]

Yea a Cy Young winner(Webb) pretty much has to be top of the list.. He was my first thought, anyway he was that good...

---

I heard Morgan Cyrus was good too

Geez JD you brought back a thread that has been dormant for 18 years. Walt Crace is more comparable to Otis Campbell from Mayberry NC than is he to Greg Maddux. He spends more time in the Regal Beagle than I do.
