Great kid, tremendous worker, natural athlete. I coached him 6-8th grade, was our starting PG.

Kid pitched with both arms in middle school; he knew all along baseball was going to be his future LOL

Hope he has the tools to be a power hitter as he grows and matures. We sure need some based on the last two seasons or so.

This is part of the reason I enjoy college baseball so much. You see a lot more local guys on the roster and in the starting lineup.

Feels like that's becoming a thing of the past in football and basketball.

I wonder what age a kid starts to pitch from both sides. It's awkward as heck.

It is crazy. But not insane. We have a RHP recovering from TJ right now that has practiced throwing lefthanded since surgery and it's actually quite impressive.
