Hi guys,

I am from Illinois and wanted to get an idea on who the elite 16u & 18u travel teams are in Indiana?

Any thoughts???

The Indiana Yankees and Evansville Razorbacks are both good. We played the Indiana Bulls, Evansville Wolfepack, and the Indy Bulldogs and they were all solid teams. They were all 18u.

Do you know anything about the 16u teams?

We only played the 18u so I havent seen any of the other ones.

I am a former player o the Evansville Rivermen 16u team and we were a very solid team. We played all 18u teams and hung with them if we didn't win. We lost to the SI Bullets 6-5 and our older team is the Evansville Wolfepack.

Sorry EV, forgot you guys. What tourny did we play you in again?

We played you guys in the Bulls 18u tournament. I remember we didn't face your best pitcher until the very last inning. He was throwing around 90 mph's I heard, but we still hung with you guys. It was a good game!

The most noteable teams out of Indiana would be the Indiana Bulls. As of late, the Indiana Yankees have come on strong. Another team with a strong history are the Hammond Chiefs out of Northwest Indiana.

EV,
Was he a lefty or a righty. I'm pretty sure it was Patrick Keating who signed with Florida. Probably closer to 88mph. I'll have to check the book on that game now. We had two guys over 90 and one pushing it. The Bulls were very strong we beat them on a walk off single off JB Paxson. Paxson hit the longest HR I saw all summer at Butler. Over the 20 ft high net in dead center and off the road. Had to have been at least 460. He recently took a visit to John A. Logan JC and expressed possible interest in playing for us this summer.

SI Bullets,
The closer was a righty and was definately pushing 90. I could see him playing for a big name baseball school. You guys had a very solid team, but it really seemed like to me not many people in that tournament new about us. Even the Wolfepack coach thought we would get smashed by you guys, but we had the lead until the sixth inning.

It was Keating after I looked at the book. We played a few tight games during that tourney but pulled them all out. I think we beat the Wolfepack like 5 times last year so Coach Lis probably did feel that way. He's a good guy. Who are most of your guys going to play for this year? If you were a 16u you should be pretty solid. We will probably meet up again in another tourney. Good luck.

Most of the players from that team are playing on the Wolfepack, but there are a few that opted to play for their legion teams. Hopefully we will meet up again.

Is there a website for the Evansville Rivermen?

Can anyone name the player on the Indy Bulls who pushes 90 and just signed with LSU?

They had three guys go to the SEC Josh Lindbloom to Tenn, Tommy Hunter to Bama, and Lance Lynn to Ole Miss. I don't think any others went to LSU unless someone who was an 06 just verbally committed here lately.

We played with the 17Bulls. There are at least five 06 players that qualify for being in the pushing 90 category and 1 more 07 that is there. Have not heard from anyone that they that had committed.

I believe you are looking for tony seylmeyer. I played with him at the area code games and faced him a couple weekends ago. low 90's good curve and slider competitor
