Tonight I was 3-4 with a double and 2 singles for SLPPlayerDev. Rick Strickland

Had a good weekend of baseball. SLPPlayerDev won 3 games and got 2nd place at the ⚾️GMB Baseball⚾️ All Star Classic. Hit .545 with 2 doubles, 1 triple, 6 RBI, 3 IP, and 4 K.

INF/RHP CJ Lake (Oakville, 2026) was another huge winner from the Preseason All-State. 103.4 mph max EV, two batted balls at 369 feet. Was 89 mph across the INF, too. Pitched at 87-89, T90 mph, with feel to land SL for strikes, 74-76 mph. 6-foot-3, 200-pounds.

CJ Lake (‘26, MO) finds another barrel here. Creates lots of separation and has definite strength in the swing. Has hit the ball right on the screws in both ABs today. Was up to 87 across the IF #NatIndoor Perfect Game Midwest Baseball

Been around Charlie for years, so it’s nice to see him get the recognition he very much deserves. Hard working kid with a great attitude that’s always looking to learn more and develop. Good kid from a good family. Even better things ahead! Charlie Summers
