I've had the privilege of coaching three excellent athletes starting as high school freshmen who are now headed to play college baseball. They've put in some hard work over this summer in their last high school leagues and in the weight room / batting cages at Driveline Baseball. I have nothing but the utmost respect for their work ethic and desire to play at the next level, where their skills and abilities will be severely tested as they strive to reach even higher levels of baseball.

Join me in congratulating and wishing a farewell to:

• Reid Martinez (OF) - Yakima Community College (NWAACC)
• Eli Mathieu (P/MI) - Whitman College (NCAA Div-III)
• Tim Moore (P/OF) - University of San Francisco (NCAA Div-I - West Coast Conference)
