The LAMP Tigers advanced to 4-0 on the season Thursday night after a 4-3 walk-off win vs. the Beulah Bobcats. The Tigers are back on the road tomorrow afternoon at 4:30pm against the Montgomery Academy Eagles.
Hall, a senior, will be one of the most valuable players on the team this season. His elite speed and defesive ability helped him finish last year with the most stolen bases and second-most assists. If he can stay consistent at the plate, he could finish the season as team MVP.
Bell, a senior, will be both a starting pitcher and a utility outfielder. His strong arm makes him threatening to both batters from the mound and runners thinking extra bases from the outfield. Bell also adds a quick bat the lineup with some serious pull-side pop.
Donaldson, a senior, has a reliable glove at second base and good contact from the plate. Last season, Donaldson commanded the strike zone and he will likely take over a reliable late-game role out of the bullpen this season.
Williams, a senior, is most valuable on defense due to his ability to slide around both the infield and outfield. While he has solid contact and discipline at the plate, he is most dangerous on the base paths and can lay down a bunt for a hit when needed.
Koda, a senior, is a team leader and will likely play the role of cleanup hitter in the lineup this season. Koda has above average mobility at first base and can pick it with the best. Koda's hard-hit ability will be a foundation in the heart of the lineup this year.
