Would area be the Chicago area or the entire state?
I would say the entire state.
Mike Broadway from Pope Co. was 4-0 with a 3.25 ERA and Phillip Britton from Olney hit .296 with 7 hr's and 35 rbi's for the Danville Braves. Mike's ERA was a sub 2 until he got shelled his last outing.
Where was Mike going to college if he did not play pro ball? Did he enjoy his Pro experience?
Any regrets?
Any regrets?
Mike signed with Chipola Fla JC. He is right where he wants to be right now and has no regrets at all. There is always a smile on his face. He has grown an inch or two and gained quite a bit of weight "6'7 225" and picked up a few mph on the fastball. He is still a little raw but is getting better and better each time out.
That is super. I've only seen his MLB draft tracker video and can tell he has the stuff. He's with a great organization. We wish him the best with all the other IL boys!
