D's baseball

Derek's Baseball - Began with T-ball and coach pitch in Loretto followed by Little league, DYBSA, MS and JV Baseball in Delano.

2018 - Delano Varsity - Coach Jeff Olson. Dissappointing finish to his High School baseball. Late season start due to the record snowy April and when playing finally began he spent most of the season on the bench. Played down to JV a few times in relief pitching and 3rd base to get some playing time. Olson did put him in for 2 innings on Senior night (vs. St James) in right field. One at bat which was a nicely placed shot to deep right center followed by a steal to 2nd. Easily beat the throw to 2nd but called out on the steal due to batter interference. Nonetheless he can say he batted 1000 and had a 100% OBP for his varsity baseball career...

2017 - returned to baseball at Delano JV level. Coach Schramel. Pitching 2 innings every other game. New throwing form courtesy of his coaches and a consult with Kevin Tapani 

2016 - rehab on elbow and shoulder at Tria and Orthopedic Specialist. Return to Throwing Program started in March 2016
