“Chase Petty is the best baseball player I have ever coached and has the potential to be a first-round draft pick, but I am most proud of the young man that he has grown to be. It is rare to have a player of his ability who is also respected by teammates and opponents wherever he goes. He is quiet, goes about his business and leads by example.”
