COACH’S COMMENTS
“ Eli took full advantage of what we attempt to offer our kids in our program. Following last season- he immediately got to work. He came all fall during 6:00am workouts to improve his game/craft while playing football. Lived in the cages all winter. Made some great adjustments to his swing mechanics as well as his approach.”
“ Getting named to the East/West all star team for the 2nd consecutive year and now being named 2nd team all state is a great by-product of his labor.”
“ Very proud of the year he had, but even more importantly than baseball, I feel like Eli really grew up and matured and became a great teammate and leader.”
