Check out this note from Steve & Jill D., whose sons Dan & Nick played on the East Troy baseball team in the American Legion summer league. They won their regional championships and progressed to the state tournament:
During the American Legion summer season, we won the regional tournament to qualify for the state tournament in Brownsville. We won our first game. The second day of the tournament we lost a close one 6-5. We were eliminated the following day with a loss to the defending state champions.
We had 3 all-conference first team players, catcher (Dan D.), infielder (Nick D.), and pitcher (Andy K.). Andy was unanimously voted by the conference coaches as the player of the year with a 9-0 record with a .845 ERA. He was the one you worked with, 6’6” 240# and did the StrikeOut Strippz daily as part of his practice routine. In his 58 innings pitched he had 72 strikeouts, 26 BB, and 29 hits. Andy credits his improved velocity and later break on his pitches to your StrikeOut Strippz pitching drills and learning how to lead with his hip.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping our team succeed.
Way to go, guys! You make us all very proud!
