East Bay comes away with the title! Sabouri named MOP

East Bay wins again!!! The East Bay team (constructed mostly of Contra Costa county kids) won BAWS for the 4th year in a row... a true BAWS Dynasty! ;-)  They defeated North Bay 5-3 on Sunday.  In the consolation games the SoCal team downed West 11-4, while Team Spalding defeated South Bay 4-3.

In the coming days/weeks there will be all-BAWS teams/prospects listed, outstanding players, notable achievements, pitcher velocities, etc.   

For the second straight year we had TheCube.com at BAWS, live-streaming seven of the games.  Here is a link to the broadcasts... your friends and family (or college coaches) who couldn't make it can watch you compete!  

Please note the following:
When a player registers and pitcher is listed as the primary position, I assume that pitching is the ability they do BEST, the ability that colleges would be watching them for and that is how I will feature those players.  
 
BAWS is an an event with many position players (meaning that defense and hitting is what they do best), and those kids need the at-bats and the defensive time.  Primary pitchers get the most mound time and position players hit and play defense.  
 
Players with pitcher listed after a secondary position when they registered, they do get to pitch at times, because it allows us to get through a three day event when we are short some primary pitchers, which is the case for BAWS 2015.  If those kids didn't pitch then I'd have to have some of the primary pitchers throw three days in a row and I won't do that.
 
So the long and short of this is that if I receive a registration with pitcher listed as the primary position, then that is what those players will primarily be doing at BAWS.
