Please Identify Your Son

Update:

Matt Smith catcher
Lone Oak HS
Paducah, KY
2005 graduate Southeastern Illinois juco

signed with Austin Peay State University

I guess I will now believe in "The Power" So here goes. My name is Pam & I am the mom of Braden Degamo.Braden Degamo will be a 2007 graduate at Mariner High School in Everett WA.
He is a awesome catcher. His best pop time ever was 1.79 at 14. He has steadily kept it around 1.8 to 2 flat. His batting average last season was .345. He is also a football player and ice hockey player. We are looking forward to the process but actually not sure of the process and how to make "The Power" work. Any help will be appreciated. Have a wonderful day!!!

I went through this whole thing. There are lots of excellent baseball players listed on the 21 pages. I hope someone saves all these names if the site goes down. It will be fun to see what happens to all these players.

Now that my sons first year of HS baseball is behind him I will update it.

Jeff May 6'0 190 Catcher South Granville HS Creedmoor NC. Hit .390 2 hrs 8 doubles. Did not allow a stolen base the entire conference season. Threw out 6 of 6 attempts. He was 9 for 11 on the year. He caught 25 games and had one passed ball and committed 1 error. His game pop is 2.1 consistent and very accurate. He was named the teams outstanding defensive player for the year tonight. Not bad for a Freshman on the team ranked #1 in the state before the playoffs. Had to brag a little sorry.

Please save this site!

I've received so much support and encouragement from members here that I cannot imagine someone else missing out on this opportunity to bond and learn from other baseball parents.

Steve Burdan, Alvernia College -

Followed the advice I learned from this site and had a pretty good 1st yr. at the next level. School is now ranked 9th in the Nat'l polls of D-III colleges. More importantly has made some new friends he'll probably have for life and is on the road to becoming a successful young man. Also learned that there are alot of good baseball players out there with the same desires he has.

Time to bump this thread back to the top!

My son is Maguire "Mickey" Wiswall class of 2007 Belmont Hill school Belmont Ma.
Has played for Lightning of New England since his thirteen year old season. We are leaving for sixteen year old AAU nationals on the 28th.
It's going to be hot in New Orleans. Mickey is the short stop and closer of our team. Made All American honorable mention at nationals last year.
Was starting third baseman and closer for Belmont Hill led team in hits, runs scored, avarage ".460" and RBI. Belmont Hill won the ISL championship and Mickey was named all league as a sophomore. He will be attending the Top 96 showcase after nationals.
It has been great watching him develop as a player and a young man.

Thanks for the chance to tell you a little about my son.
