My ideal battery is Billy O’Dell and Ed Bailey. Bailey told him to throw anything you want and I’ll catch it. No signs, no problem.
Tim played for the Puffcaps before his freshman year; so they've been to Healdsburg. All teams in that league and other summer leagues for that matter, call their own pitches. They also steal on their own, swing away...

How about that!? Ever since I saw your son play his freshman year, he became my favorite player on the team. He was the bat I trusted the most at the plate.
I'm hoping he has a long, successful pro career. The draft must be delayed. We usually hear who got drafted where during the CWS, but I haven't heard anything this year. He'd sure look good in a Cubbie uniform ;)
Happy he and his teammates got to experience the CWS, although one more strike, and the memories may have been even bigger.
It was a great ride, remarkable year, memories created forever. Thanks for rooting him on! Baseball is hard and while he had a terrific career, he will tell you that it fell considerably short of his own expectations. Maybe at the next level! Card for life! JT
