From today's News & Observer an article about the Chanticleer's third baseman, who sounds like an incredible young man.

quote:"I've had eight or nine major league guys, and he has as much God-given ability as any I've ever coached," Gilmore said. "He's a freshman who plays like a four-year veteran. To achieve what he's done and play two positions he's never played in his life is [remarkable]."
Wow.
What a kid. What a player.
ALWAYS believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inspiring!! I love the fact the Coastal fans have learned sign language when he's up to bat!
Kudos also to the CC coaches!
Sounds like it should be an ESPN story!

Here is another great article on him. He is 100% a team player first on a team loaded with team players.

He is the most talented player I have ever seen at that age. He has unbelievable ability. Nobody plays with a dirtier uniform than him. He has taken his disability and made it an advantage for himself. His parents are great people as well. We have an All-Star centerfielder here in Cleveland named Grady Sizemore. That is who Scott reminds me of.

Great story. 
Great story! I love the part about the fans using sign language toward him! 
Got to see him play a three game set earlier this season. ESPN was televising the Sunday game and interviewed him before the game. I believe he had a hearing aid in and didn't need sign language during the interview but plays without the hearing aid.
He made a couple of super defensive plays during those games. That was what first caught my eye. He was also fast and could hit with power and for average. Truely a gifted player that appeared to play with a lot of passion. He fit in well with a very talented Coastal Carolina team.
About Coastal, they have made a lot of upgrades to their facilities and they make for a very good baseball atmosphere. I read a short interview by their coach and he stated that in the past they had to recruit like crazy to get quality players, but now with - their winning and facilites - the players are calling them.

The kid is awesome. Great kid, great family, tremendoius talent and great player! Have truly enjoyed watching him play this season!
Great story - hearing the ball hit the bat must be a huge advantage - he must be super quick!
