Best pitchers for this season..

 
I would say you have to watch out for North Canton again. I think the federal league will be tough this year. Add Jackson, Perry and even GlenOak to the mix. I think GlenOak will be the most improved out of all of them . Thats not saying they will win the league but they have some very talented young ladies returning and is adding a very good freshman to help out.
 
I agree with IceDad34, North Canton should be a favorite to repeat a State Championship with Simpson in the circle. Dalton in Div IV will also be tough with Carmichael returning for her senior season. Good luck IceDad34 to that freshman you were talking about, I can't wait to see her hit next summer.
 
A couple of central Ohio teams that could do well is Olentangy Liberty with Sara Phillips and Westerville South with Ashley Byers.
 
I believe Genoa has there pitcher back again this year, Shana Szypka, led all of Ohio in strikeouts at 352 K's.

Yeah, I think Bors graduated last year. Not sure about anyone else, but I know Bors is gone.

Southern Buckeye Conference has some strong Senior pitchers throwing this upcoming season.

Erin Conner - Clermont Northeastern
Katie Lawrence - Western Brown
Felicia Gregory - Blanchester

One of these teams will match up against Ross to get to the regionals.

There is a lot of mentioned AND unmentioned talent as well as the undiscovered diamonds in the rough.
