Proud of this group how they battled through 8 games against some quality competition in the 16U ABC Gold bracket. Ran out of gas but played hard until the very last out. Went 6-2 on the weekend. Great job guys!
One more weekend next weekend to wrap up 2023!

Big frame lefty, was up to 87 this summer and getting stronger with good command of his arsenal, nasty stuff, and a calm demeanor. You're getting the same guy out there no matter the result. Don't miss out!

Owen calls a great game behind the plate! Lightning quick catch and release and can bounce. Pitchers love throwing to him and is one of the toughest players you'll find. Pretty damn good hitter too!

Zander is a total gamer. He has a cannon in the outfield, he can run and steal bases, hits with thump and gets it done in the classroom. Awesome teammate and leads by example! Solid add for any program!

This kid is a no-fly zone in the outfield. Tracks it down as good as anyone you'll see, can steal bases, and is a great teammate. Anyone who lands him will be getting a good one!

Played both IF and OF for us this summer. INF is his natural position but was learning OF. He can track it down with the best of them out there! Had a hell of a summer at the plate and the kid can flat out FLY!

Just walked in the door from tryouts/the war room. Thanks to everyone who came out to tryouts tonight! Lots of tough decisions to make but excited to build our team for summer 2023!

You've got a pretty good shot of winning that day with Isaac on the bump. Was 82-85 all summer long and popped a few 87's in there from the left side with command. Knows how to pitch!

McCoy started off for us as a 2B but can play the corners pretty well too. Works pitchers deep into the count often and gets on base alot as a result. Smart player, great teammate and tons of upside!

Jude is Mr. Reliable in the infield. He makes the routine plays look routine and the hard plays look easy at all of the infield spots. This is a defender you do not want to miss out on!

Lost a tough one to Indiana Mustangs National 5-2 in the Indiana June Games semis. Threatened in the 7th with bases loaded but came up just short.
Happy with how we played in the opening weekend going 5-1! Quick turnaround with a doubleheader on Tuesday morning.
Challenged our guys to bounce back with a W, keep runs down, and score alot of runs and all boxes got checked.

College coaches - you need to put this kid on your radar. One of the most competitive kids and hardest workers around. Gets it done in the classroom too!

This kid has said that to me several times the past couple years and delivered EVERY time. Whenever he wants something, he’s gonna go get it.
