I've watched Travis "Choppy Jr." (sorry Chop, you're dad is still the original) play for many years...as a matter of fact, I've even watched him playing a little tee-ball. He's always played a year above his age. This has been the only season of his career that he has been an "older" kid on a team. He played for the District 22 KNOTHOLE, American Legion team from Newport that would routinely enter "select" tournaments and kick-butt, not to mention winning the Greater Cincinnati Knothole Tourney numerous times. The tropheys that this team collected was astronomical! It was a great group of ballplayers.
And yes, any college would be lucky to have this fine young man fall in their lap.
