njbb's son

Cool! Thanks for the post on this.

njbb -
Awesome!

BBScout - I've actually listened to a couple of Chris' games while chatting in the chat room with NJ and others. He sounds like a player with a great future ahead of him.

NJBB - if you read this I'm sending you a PM.

Congratulations to you and your son.

It is plenty difficult to bat over .300 anywhere in minor league ball. Congratulations to NJBB and to Chris. Here is a little more information to show what a great season Chris has had.


"Chris McConnell and Ethien Santana have been named 2005 Pioneer League All-Stars in a vote of the league’s managers. McConnell was elected as the league’s shortstop...

McConnell, a 19 year old from Franklinville, NJ, is among the league leaders with a .345 batting average. He also has 4 homeruns, 30 RBI’s, a team leading 14 doubles and 6 stolen bases. His 6 triples are tied for the lead in the league. Earlier in the year, he put together an 18 game hitting streak. He also received votes for the league’s most valuable player. McConnell was drafted in the 9th round of the 2004 draft by the Kansas City Royals organization, after attending Delsea High School."

Thanks infielddad! Those are tremendous baseball numbers for any player and especially at that age. Congrats indeed njbb

Congrats Njbb to both you and your son!

Been following him very closely and am very impressed. WTG

Awesome, thanks for the info bbscout.

Saw Chris at the Team One showcase at Notre Dame in 2003.

Finest fielding display in pre-game workouts and during the games---I have seen in my lifetime of watching baseball games...Nearly 50 years!

njbb....Why am I not surprised?

I'll probably see Chris in High Desert next year. We host players so he has a place to stay if he wants it.

Congrats to Chris and obviously a very proud njbb ... that is quite a feat with a wood bat and I am especially impressed with all the triples. Sounds as tho Chris can hit hard and run fast ... those triples are very very impressive.

Thanks for all kind words I will pass them on to Chris

njbb---

Add my kudos!! AWESOME accomplishment for your son!

Great New!!!!

Keep up the good work!

I listened several innings of his game last night. He had a terrific performance defensively and offensively! Great job Chris!

Lafmom,
Thanks, you have a PM

With Chris hitting the way he is, he could move fast.

Having watched him a few times in high school, he has some of the best hands, feet and infield actions you'll see.

Congats njbb and best of luck to Chris.
