Comments on: St. John’s Picked To Repeat As BIG EAST Baseball Champion http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2008/01/03/st-johns-picked-to-repeat-as-big-east-baseball-champion/ The Ultimate Source for College Baseball News and Notes Fri, 09 Jan 2009 04:57:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Gabe Djoue http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2008/01/03/st-johns-picked-to-repeat-as-big-east-baseball-champion/comment-page-1/#comment-370 Gabe Djoue Mon, 07 Jan 2008 21:35:10 +0000 http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2008/01/03/st-johns-picked-to-repeat-as-big-east-baseball-champion/#comment-370 The Big East is very much on the rise but still has a long way to catch The SEC, ACC, PAC 10 and a few other major D 1's. Louisville, Rutgers, St. John's and Notre Dame proved they could play with anyone last year, but the league has a few weak links like Georgetown and Seton Hall. I'm seeing more and more Big East players playing summer baseball in Cape Cod and holding their own. This is a big boost for recruiting for some schools because when you play up there you are playing with the best college players in the country. Good coaching and good recruiting will keep Big East teams in regional and super regional appearances.

The league had many players drafted and the quality of baseball is A+. Todd Frazier is a legitamate pro prospect along with 5 or more pitchers that I saw in Coney Island. St. John's has a great pitching staff, and USF will be a powerhouse nationally in a few years. Louisville has 2 of the best pitchers in the USA and Cincy, Seton Hall, Villanova, and Notre Dame have many quality players that scouts will be looking at. If you live in the east, close to a Big East team, you should go out and catch a game or two. You won't be disappointed.

A couple of pitchers in the NECBL and this guy Brian Kemp can really fly. I'm sure they'll go far in the Big East and maybe win a regional in 2008.

Now the Big East teams are building STADIUMS which I love. I moved to about an hour from UConn so I might be able to see Notre Dame this season down in Storrs. Lots of mileage going on the car.
