The Elsinore Cardinals made an impressive run in the 17u Division, finishing as runners-up. The team never gave up and battled back in the final inning before coming up just short. Here are some notes on a few of the Cardinal players:
-LHP Sammy Fitzgerald had plus movement on his 80-81 MPH FB and showed feel for a curveball as well. He has an online delivery and 3/4 arm angle.
-SS Johnny Salgado of Whittier, CA made a number of impressive plays throughout the weekend. He has a quick transfer and strong arm to turn double plays, while also making some backhanded plays in the hole. Good feel for the game as well.
-1B Ryan Davis of Tahquitz, CA showed huge power potential on a double to the LCF fence that one-hopped the 375 sign. Strong and agressive hitter who also had a few hits to the pull side throughout the tournament.
