“He’s a top-one-percent elite hitter at our level. He would be wildly successful at any level of Maine high school baseball. During our games, we are fully prepared to intentionally walk him every single time, regardless of situation. When we don’t, I instantly regret it. He hit a game-tying home run in the state semifinal against us last year and the go-ahead home run against us in the regular season this year.”
