“Cam is the absolutely the best high school baseball player in Connecticut, and I don’t think it’s close. He’s one of the best hitters I’ve seen in my almost 15 years of coaching high school baseball. He hits for power, average and has great discipline. He’s truly a force, and his presence changes how you play Wethersfield.”
