Josh (9 Inning Know It All)-  Josh was born and raised in Longview, WA.  A town that is the definition of a baseball town.  He was exposed to the game of baseball from birth as he attended his father’s softball games.  He was raised a Mariner’s fan and even through the hard years he still cheers for the M’s.  Josh has played in over 1,000 baseball games, coached nearly 500 baseball/fast pitch/softball games and watched too many baseball games to count.  For three seasons Josh partnered with the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes helping with social media, grounds crew and any other area that he is needed including being the teams photographer for the 2012 season. Returning to his hometown in 2024, Josh covered local college team Lower Columbia Community College and wood bat league team Cowlitz Black Bears.  In 2021 Josh and his family moved to Bismarck, ND where he now covers teams across the Great Plains and writes for additional sites Great Plains Baseball Report and NW Baseball Report.
