“He’s a terrific high school baseball player, playing the game the right way—hard and with integrity. He hit two grand slams against us and didn’t boast or bat flip or [draw] any attention to himself. He  just jogged around the bases and cheered with his teammates at home plate. On the mound, we will most definitely see this young man at the next level and above.”
