Are you questioning that he's the best player? If so, I'd REALLY enjoy hearing that arguement. I'm not even from Dickinson and I know he's the best player in the state, hands down & no questions asked. He's going to the University of Arizona.Bliz5 wrote:Well dewey11 . . . I guess to you the forum is closed. Frenzel is the best and every other player in this state who is just as good needs to bow at his feet!!! Give me a break. We'll see how the spring plays out for him and then you can continue the conversation.

I give congrats to both Bollinger and Frenzel to being two awesome players and wish then both the best of luck in all they do with the college sports whether it be a JUCO or a D1.
Bollinger was sought after by many D1 schools to come play for them, but he opted JUCO to stay draft eligible and knowa he will get a lot of playing time rather than going to D1 and not get any playing time and also allows him to remain draft eligible and not have to wait until being a Junior at a D1.
I think both these boys have a great shot at the draft in June, but only time will tell. They could both have a really bad spring or they could both have an amazing spring, why don't people just wish them luck and not worry about who is the best in the state. They have enough pressure on them as it is without people saying things about them to bring them down.
I think North Dakota has a lot of amazing players for only getting to play for a short period of time during the year. The boys up here have heart and drive to be the best. I think because of young men like Lundy, Elgie, Tanner Lorenz (Harvey), Bollinger, Frenzel . . . the list goes on . . . that college and professional scouts are actually realizing that there is talent up here and it has opened the doors for younger players in North Dakota to get a chance to show their abilities when the scouts come to watch boys like the above-mentioned players. They don't come to just watch a few chosen ones . . . they are also watching to see what else is coming up behind them.
I dont know who your trying to fool, but bollinger isnt playing D1 because hes simply not good enough. lefty who thows 84 with no great offspeed stuff is just another pitcher. bollinger draft in june? come on.
bambino ur right, but its also posts like these that are ridiculous.

Establish that the plate is the pitchers and NOT the hitters. I've seen bollinger come inside on him all the time. if he crowds the plate that much he's asking for a ball to the ribs. oh and i_see_it_all... if the opposing team hits a kid in the head that's bush league... you NEVER hit a kid in the head, put it between the shoulder belt and the shoulder blades.your not looking to hurt someone... just showing who controls the game.
09beckau wrote:most pitchers in the state are scared to come inside on frenzel... you right. but 90% of pitchers just try to get it over the plate? thats crap. last year I was at the minot high/dickinson game when bollinger came inside on frenzel and hit him. i'm pretty sure it wasnt on purpose but its debatable. not one player from eaither team got hit after that. Im not sure who was throwing for dickinson but whoever didnt do a dang thing to protect him. looks like your "hit cole and get it worse" thing is crap.... tough guy.

Thats why you set it up with effective off-speed pitches to change his eye level and timing, then try to bust him inside
