“Offensively, you have to pitch around Hassell. He hits the ball hard every time he sees a strike. Pitch him (off the plate), and he goes the other way. Pitch high and in or middle-middle, you will find the ball 400 feet away. He is a legit talent.”
Kenny Roeten
Head Coach - Head coach of Page High
