THE THING THAT STICKS WITH ME THAT MY FATHER SAYS: HARD WORK ETHIC AND HEART TO NEVER QUIT

MY MOST MEMORABLE BASEBALL EXPERIENCE: COOPERSTOWN, NY

NUMBER: 31 HEIGHT: 6'4 WEIGHT: 245 POSITION(S): C YEAR: 11

COACH'S COMMENTS: MITCH JOINS THE VARSITY AFTER TAKING A YEAR OFF. HE WAS AN ALL CONFERENCE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN ON OUR FOOTBALL TEAM. HE ALSO THROWS THE SHOT AND DISCUS FOR THE TRACK TEAM. MITCH IS IN A BATTLE TO EARN PLAYING TIME AT CATCHER. HE COULD ALSO SERVE AS POTENT DH OR PINCH HITTER.
