With the season wrapped up, a quick end of season review/highlight for each of our guys . .

RT @GPLefty36: Some of my highlights from my 16u year playing up against 17u and 18u all summer. @ESP2026_2027 @2hopperbaseball @MeteaBaseb….

@tj_harazin22 (@OHS_Baseball1) had a roller coaster summer. June was not friendly but he caught fire in July when he hit .310, including .381 over final 10 games (3rd on team over that span). Utilized plus speed/arm in the OF to save multiple W's the past two years. #OG.

@Ryan19Lopez (@OEHSbaseball) set the tone for us in the leadoff spot; patient hitter who was comfortable hitting w/ 2 strikes; hit .364 w/ .462 OBP over first 2 tourneys; led the team in HBP 🤕 and kept us strong up the middle at SS.

@pjpasqualini26 is quite the story. Opted for an alternative spring season & his preparation worked. As a lefty RP, he pitched to a 2.53 ERA in nearly 20 IP over 10 appearances w/ a .260 BAA (3rd). It all culminated in his best & final outing on 7/25: 4.1IP, 1H, 3K, 0R! #OG.

@Nate_Rubioo (@MortonBasebal) was a staple of the staff: 3rd in IP (25.1), 2nd in K (27), T-3rd in appearances (10). 1 outing elevated his final ERA, but this kid's a gamer! Nate has plans to serve in the 🇺🇸 military after graduation & we're proud of him for choosing such.

@KalArntzen (@FoxesBaseball) brings a polished bat who led the offense in multiple categories: .386 BA, .482 OBP, .671 SLG, 27 H (tied), 13 XBH (8 2B, 3 3B, 2 HR), 23 RBI. Defensively, Kal is a reliable corner OF & a developing backstop who threw out 5 would-be base stealers.

@Justin_Zurek_27 (@pnhsbaseball) is a plus game manager, blocker, and framer at C. Learns hitters. Keeps P's in a rhythm. 3 runners CS despite being 8 months removed from shoulder surgery. Fundamentally sound bat that hit .304 over final 10 games; knows the zone (1st in BB). #OG.

@Jgrimm_09 (@OEHSbaseball) played a nice 3B/C for us. After tough start when absolutely nothing fell, Joe put together 2 stretches of games where he tallied 11 hits over 11 games, inc. some clutch RBIs. Those led to him being 2nd in RBI (20, which inc. 11 over final 10 games).

@JamesArmst1741 (@pnhsbaseball) was a #PO who was 2nd in team in appearances. James had a nice stretch this summer where his confidence was high and his performance showed (4IP, 4K, 3.50 ERA, & simply attacked). A great example of how this game is built on confidence!.

@GPLefty36 (@MeteaBaseball) #OG #PlayUp LHP who anchored staff, leading all P's w/ 28.1IP, 37K, 1.73ERA, 1.27WHIP, 30 men LOB, 65.8% S%, & .202BAA. Competitor who led team to multiple big W's, inc. buckling down w/ RISP. Follow him w/ @2hopperbaseball's 2027 team next summer too!.

@gavin_geegan (@FoxesBaseball) is another #PlayUp. Fast & athletic 3B who was T-1st in H (27), 2nd in AVG (.375), 3rd in OBP (.452), & had some big RBIs. As P, led team to July W in electric effort. Follow him w/ @2hopperbaseball's 2027 team next summer as well!.

@dkubek15 (@OEHSbaseball) #PlayUp who came out of the gates FAST despite a broken arm during the HS season hitting .462 thru the first month of the summer. ESP will miss you next year, but know you're going to have your hands full with hockey and golf! Good luck Dunc!.

@DaytonRam_6 (@MeteaBaseball) improved hitting w/ aggressive approach, inc. long 3B in Iowa (some pop in his frame!); competitor on the mound; well-deserved W in final outing (2.1IP, ER) when he held opponent (who hit 4HR before he entered) in check, allowing a big comeback W!.

@CrewStaud13 (@Baseball_PCA @PCA_Falcons) was a #PlayUp. Offseason effort led 2 HUGE ⬆️ in batting AVG to .350 (3rd) & OBP to .480 (2nd). On the bump, he fit as a SP, RP, CL (1st in appearances w/ 12). Very high baseball IQ. Follow him w/ @2hopperbaseball's 2027 team next summer!.

@ChaseSzcz11 came on strong at the end of the summer leading the team in batting AVG (.500) and OBP (.833) in the final tourney. He's always been a strong defender who can throw on the run and make some tough plays. It's been a memorable 4 years w/ you! #OG.

@CBregar_31 (@OEHSbaseball) maintained strength up the middle patrolling CF; 3rd in IP & WHIP while pitching to a 3.50 ERA; he's also a highly-recruited P/K (@OEHSfootball) who continues to climb the 2026 P/K rankings; look forward to seeing where he will call home for college!.

@BenMichalisko18 (@FoxesBaseball) does so much right in the OF - tracks the ball well, gets behind the ball at catch, and throws with a purpose. Ben led the team in hitting (.429) & RBI (in our trip to Iowa) as he came up w/ multiple timely hits.

And a special thank you to @FreddyZ73 @DARadguy & @MartyMichalisko for all the assistance this year and the prior few. Freddy Z, was a blast my man … thank u!.

Didn’t end w/ a W like we had hoped but thank u @Jgrimm_09 @Justin_Zurek_27 @Ryan19Lopez @gavin_geegan @KalArntzen @CrewStaud13 @CBregar_31 @tj_harazin22 @pjpasqualini26 @DaytonRam_6 @ChaseSzcz11 @BenMichalisko18 @JamesArmst1741 @Nate_Rubioo @dkubek15 & @GPLefty36. #Memories.
