Had a great time subbing for @Aces_Baseball_ 16U at the @PastimeBaseball All Prospect Open Showcase in Indianapolis. Fun group of guys that welcomed me right in. We ended up getting 2nd going 5-2 and 3-1 in the games I was able to play.
Weekend Stats:
4-8, 2-2B, 3RBI, 5R, 3BB, & 2SB
4IP, 0H, 0R, 2BB, 6K 63% Strikes
an anchor in the middle of our lineup all summer long. handles the left side of the infield well with the glove and has the bat to back it up. 3R is getting a good one
quality arm that has the ability to come out of the bullpen or make a spot start on a moments notice. every pitching staff in the country can use a guy like that. great year with us @BenDambach4
5 singles and some stolen bases later and the Aces 15U has taken a commanding 4-1 lead in the championship game. Essner left the game in a 1-1 tie after throwing 4.2 innings of 1 run baseball. it’s nice to have the whole squad back and firing on all cylinders
it’s the little things that start the barrage of runs. a great sac bunt by Hengst puts 2 runners in scoring position, then a sac fly and 2B by Lorenz adds 2 more runs to the board. 6-0 Aces still in ⬇️3
can’t thank the @nashvillesounds enough for allowing our 16U boys in early to see the team go through pre-game on saturday. special thanks to @SalFrelick, @ThomasPannone, and Caleb Boushley for taking time out of their preparation to talk to the guys, it was an unreal experience
