1. Corona Angels 96 - they are always tough and heard they picked up a new pitcher.
2. Mizuno Pride 95 - saw them play, they were very strong.
3. Ca. Cruisers - their defense looks improved and they sure can hit.
4. Rebels - heard they lost a pitcher.
5. OCBB (Marquez) - heard they have a lot of new players but Jesse knows how to get the job done.
I like Mizuno Pride if this is the same team that finished top 10 at 14u Nationals last year. If PSurge has been added there game and pitching will be of the norm (hard throwing with decent change ups, no tail on the ball) against top 14u teams this year, but they are still a good team. Playing at the AFC showcase against weak 16u teams is meaningless, except to the parents. CAngels 96 lack pitching as witnessed last year against 97 teams where errors got them through many games and OCBB Marquez gets way to much credit as a coach. Good players and families don't leave good coaching. JMO.
