You are correct in one respect: there aren't near as many dominant pitchers in the area as there has been in the past. Although I don't recall very many of those listed that dominated and advanced his team all the way to Austin. Sure seemed like Jasper should have done that with the lefty Girdley throwing mid-90s, but it was a team without some of those pitching stars that aren't around any longer that went to Austin and brought back the crown.
One reason Girdley didn't lead Jasper to state is he had to face my team, and pitch against Brad Sullivan and Jesse Floyd. This kinda proves Baseball25's point. There were 3 pitchers in this series drafted by major league teams, and 2 of them in the 1st round. There is just not that kind of talent in the area this year. I will say that most of the better pitchers in the area are underclassmen and still have a chance to improve in the next year or two.
