The Kentucky Baseball Club 18U played in a tournament at Austin Peay University two weekends ago. A number of college coaches were there. The 18U team played at the University of Kentucky this past weekend. Playing at the University of Kentucky was 2 top national teams, Cangelosi Baseball (from the Chicago area) and the Royals Scout Team (organized by the Midland Braves from Cincinnati) as well as the much respected Indiana Bulls and the Indiana Yankees. The Cangelosi Baseball 16U team just won a Perfect Game National Underclass tournament in Arizona and last year their 18U team advanced to the championship game at Jupiter. The Royals Scout Team is preparing for the Perfect Game World Wooden Bat Association World Championships at Jupiter, FL, later this month as well where they have had strong showings in one of the biggest tournaments of the year. The team organized by Midland has often had some of the best players in the nation on the team. KBC beat the Indiana Bulls and the Indiana Yankees while losing a close game to Cangelosi Baseball. The 18U KBC team will also play at the University of Evansville-Fall Wood Bat Championships next week as a tune up before playing at Jupiter.

 

KBC has also sent an underclass team to the WWBA Underclass World Championships in Ft. Myers, FL, this past weekend. This is a growing underclass tournament where teams from across the country played and over 100 college coaches were present. The KBC team was largely composed of sophomores that will be able to return to this underclass tournament next year. KBC did well, tying for first place in their pool with a 2-1 record. A number of players from KBC also went to the Perfect Game Southeast Underclass Showcase in Atlanta, GA, earlier in September.

Kentucky Baseball Club pushed across a run in the 7th to get past the Florida Diamond Pros 3-2. Matt Spalding (2011 Louisville, KY) was very impressive with a 90 mph fastball and consitently threw strikes. He struck out seven batters in 6 innings of work. Andrew Willinger closed out the victory with a 82-84 mph fastball in one inning of scoreless baseball. 2011 Travis Murray (Lexington, KY) went 2-3 with a 2b and a stolen base. He showed good pop and runs well. Will Hurt (2012, Lexington, KY) looked good in the infield and showed a nice approach at the plate.

 

Matt Salom (2011, Miramar, FL) pitched in the mid 80's for FL Diamond Pros in one inning of work. Mario Amaral (2011, Miramar, FL) went 2-3 with a triple and made hard contact each time with the bat."
