DII Southeast District

[93Bulldog]

Athens is (4-1) after its win over Wellston Wednesday.

Can Niece looks to be "the guy" on the hill after beating Gallia in the season opener, and then Wellston to improve to (2-0). He is the younger brother of Jonathan Niece, who had a nice career with the New York Mets. He doesn't have overpowering stuff, but is a good sized lefty who throws a nice tailing fastball.

Peyton Gail is without a doubt the leader on the team and probably a shoe-in for TVC-Ohio offensive or defensive player of the year. Been a starter in center for Athens since his freshmen year, had the big game winning hit against Warren in the district championship in 2019 and was batting an incredible .900 after four games.

Shortstop Will Matters is also a pretty darn good baseball player and showed good stuff on the hill in relief of Niece in the Gallia game.

The surprising aspect of this team is their power. Through 4 games, 4 different players have hit homeruns. McCune, Neal, Gail and Ginder.

Dang. I'd like to catch the one. It's a league game, correct? I havent got the entire FAC down yet, I'm gonna guess it is though.

Cool. Good to know.

Looking at some records and potential seeding, I can't help but to think how different and crazy baseball tournament seeding can be versus the other sports. Take for instance Meigs, who is (3-3). I'm not exactly sure what kind of pitching depth they have, but they could very well end up being something like (10-12) - and with this new super sectional and teams not being as familiar with one another - they are most likely going to end up a double digit seed ... and when that happens, some high seed is going to get totally screwed! The Marauders have, and I'm not kidding when I say this, one of the better pitchers I have seen in quite some time. He is capable of shutting out any team in SEO regardless of division. He is only a soph, but is every bit as good as Brendan Sano was as a senior.

Meigs is also D3

Meigs is also D3

Yeah, I know. I was just making the point they could probably beat any team regardless of division with Stewart on the hill. I should have clarified. They were just the best example of showing how crazy baseball tournament & seeding can be.

Couple of minor notes/corrections, Bulldog. Gail did not start or play varsity his freshman year, but has been a fixture in CF since then. And add Welsh to the HR list for Athens. He took one out down at Waterford 2nd game of the year. And just a general note, this southeast district is once again loaded. Shame only one team will make it out.

Exactly lol

The Ironmen are beating really good teams rather easily. Definitely the most impressive team of the early season.
