Today the Baseball Northwest Top Player list came out.
Click here to view the full list.
One high school really caught my eye and that is Liberty High School. Liberty, located along Renton and Issaquah, had four players named to the list. Three juniors and senior.
The juniors are:
Troy Colyer, INF --number 39 on the list to watch
Nick Hart, INF
John McCleod, LHP
The senior is of course Eric Peterson.
Name doesn't sound familiar? Well then you must not pay attention to high school sports. Don't worry, that's our job here at Just South of North. But now you will know.
Peterson is a shortstop with the Patriots of Liberty, but in December of 2008 he committed to play ball for the University of Washington next spring.
The last player to go from Liberty to the UW was Tim Lincecum. Lincecum led the Patriots to the 3A State Championship. And last season he won the National League Cy Young award with the San Francisco Giants.
As for Peterson, who started for Liberty since he was a freshman, he'll be focusing on his senior season for now. But next year he'll be playing off of Lake Washington.
So you might say that Liberty is a bit of a baseball powerhouse. I guess that in a few weeks when they take the field we'll find out how much of one.
