that is very true. A great outfielder and a great third baseman. But not having Nate Rodriguez in the conversation wouldn't be right. As a 13 year old last year, he had a great pitching season and will be a good leader for Valley.
I would also include Matt Kuipers on that list of returning Oakes players I watched him play against Linton as well as against Steele and the kid can flat out play. Against Steele was the only kid really doing anything for the Oakes batters!
Michael Kelly and Ethan Zetocha have started for their legion team as well. Kids from LaMoure and Lisbon do the same. Jayden Miller from Steele really impressed me, solid baseball player.
