By Josh: Last night I had the opportunity to watch a very young and talented 15 year old toe the rubber and lead his team to victory. He was throwing in the mid 80’s and showing signs of a bright future. He threw 120 pitches in the game and got the win. None of this…
By Josh: Here I sit at Story Field in Longview, WA as Day 2 of the 2014 Babe Ruth World Series comes to an end and I am trying to imagine what the players are feeling as they walk into each game. The pressure that they are dealing with, the adrenaline that is running through…
