One of the things I wanted to do with Diggle’s Diamonds is educate kids and parents about the levels of baseball available to them. Figured I’d start today with what I know best: junior college. I spent a decade as the recruiting coordinator at ICC Cougars Baseball.

There’s a big lesson for young ballplayers in Ryan Vogel story. As a 16U player, he was a damn good MIF. Then, about a week into his 17U summer, we asked him to try CF. Happily did it and now he’s gonna be drafted as a CF. The lesson? Be versatile on the baseball diamond!

I am proud to announce that I will continue my athletic and academic career at Illinois Central College. I would like to thank my family and coaches for helping me achieve the goal of playing college baseball. I am looking forward to playing with this talented group of men.

Both pitchers with stellar 2nd innings. Frantz with Ks and Lohnes getting some stellar D, including this gem from Landen Hidden. Still 2-0 EP headed to T3!

The rookie.. Landen Hidden
