Spring Team

Great team! The way I ranked the boys after the tryout, they’ve got 5 of the top 7 players and 6 of the top nine. Some of new boys I didn’t know were pretty good as well. Mark Allen…solid player, hits it hard. Had some game-winning hits, but could only play first last fall due to arm problems. His mom did a good job as the team mom. Nice pick! Barrett Atkins…can pitch and play several positions, like shortstop. Newcomers Robbie Becknel, Nicholas Cmar, Parker Filkins. Garrett Blackmon…led the fall team in hitting, beating out Will and Christian Maiocco. Third base. Jared Daniels…really has improved in the last year…smashes the ball. Shady dad. Corey Hursh…solid player. Malcolm McCray - could be the best player out there, the way he hits and runs. Centerfield!Luke McElwain…solid player, can help behind the plate as well. When he connects, look out. Will Murphy…hopefully you can coach him up to the other’s level, but his dad is a meddler. Russell Sloss…solid for his size…really contributed, especially at second base…made several heads up plays. Can catch, but has a weak arm due to size. His dad is a big help in the dugout and at practice. Henry Stubbs…another catcher, which is good.
