BATTING AVERAGE
“Evan’s dominant on the mound, confident, throws a ton of strikes and attacks guys. He had the leadership skills to take this young Mercer County team and carry them on his back, too. I don’t know if anyone this year has been able to do what Evan has done.”
Josh Loughry
Head Coach head coach at Danville High
