1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: The Freshman Quartet will be back for Raging Cagen's Baseball

2
00:00:03,319 --> 00:00:06,960
in twenty twenty seven. Let's discuss it here on Raging Rundown.

3
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,640
What's good, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome into another episode

4
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:26,679
of Raging Rundown, the show where you will know all

5
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:29,600
things ul sports. I'm your guy, JaMarcus Fitzpatrick, but you

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,280
know you can always call me fits. And in today's episode,

7
00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:36,119
we will be talking about the Freshman Quartet returning to

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Raging Cagn's Baseball in twenty twenty seven, as they announced

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,960
their intentions on social media on Tuesday afternoon. Now, before

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,759
we get into that, obviously, as you saw in the

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,799
last episode, the season ended in the Startfield Regional Louisiana

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,359
falling to Mississippi State nineteen to five, ultimately ending their season.

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,000
They played sixty six games, they finished the year forty

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,640
one and twenty five, but ran into a bus and

15
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:03,520
ran out of arms and that ultimately ended their season.

16
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,680
And in that episode, one of the things that I

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,040
said at the end of it was that this staff

18
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:13,760
is going to be prioritizing the four freshmen that were

19
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:17,680
a part of this last seasons. As we'll talk about

20
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:22,959
it in past tense, now this past season's class, I

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,439
said that it was going to be important that you

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,519
bring back pitcher Sawyer Pruitt and catcher Colt Brown and

23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,159
shortstop Blaze Rodriguez and outfielder Noah Lewis. That you needed

24
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,079
to have those guys back on top of other pieces

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,319
around in terms of retention, and if you were able

26
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:40,000
to do that, then things could be special for you.

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,120
In twenty twenty seven and lo and behold, just two

28
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,200
days really a day after me saying that in an

29
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:52,079
episode it all happens, all four guys announced their intentions

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400
to return to the team. And so I'll pull up

31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,799
on social media exactly when it all started in what

32
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:01,319
they said in each one of them their post. It

33
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:06,519
started at four eleven where Sawyer Brewit tweeted see y'all

34
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,960
at the Tigue in twenty seven hashtag were one thirteen,

35
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,560
which is the one hundred and thirteen season that Raging

36
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,879
Cagn's Baseball will play, which will be next year. At

37
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,639
four to twenty four, Colt Brown says, run it back.

38
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:23,159
At six six, Blaize Rodriguez says, no place like the

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Tigue Cajun Nation, run it and then Finally, Noah Lewis

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,439
at seven point thirty put hashtag one thirteen with the

41
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,520
go Cajun's hand signal that we all know and love

42
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:37,599
so much. Also, on top of that, when you talk

43
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,439
about other players that are coming back, Ascension Episcopal product

44
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:46,159
Hayden Pearson, his father Joseph Pearson saying make each other great,

45
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:49,319
homegrown and home cooked meals again next year, confirming that

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,280
his son will be returning in twenty twenty seven, and

47
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,759
also Parker Smith announcing that he would be coming back

48
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,039
on his Instagram page and as of today I had

49
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,439
originally recorded episode, so I'm coming back for a re record.

50
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,560
Mark Collins announced on Instagram that he would be returning

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,680
for twenty twenty seven as well. So you have guys

52
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,639
that have now announced. You have Parker Smith that's one,

53
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,759
Hayden Pearson two, Noah Lewis three, Bleas Rodriguez four, Cole

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,199
Brown five, saw Your Prewitt six, and Mark Collins seven two, four, six.

55
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Seven guys have announced their intentions to return. And it's huge,

56
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,919
particularly this this big four class. First of all, because

57
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520
all four of the four guys that we've talked about

58
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,439
were all some Belt freshman team members, so the conference

59
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:43,919
is on notice and they understand that these guys are special.

60
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,280
When you talk about each player individually, Cole Brown led

61
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:49,800
you in bad and average with a three fourteen. He

62
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:54,240
had eight home runs. He had seventy two hits and

63
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:57,919
fifty three RBI, which was second on the team out

64
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,719
of the lineup, and he started sixty four of the

65
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:02,800
sixty six games that you played in. I think the

66
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:05,360
only two was maybe like a Kansas State game and

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,759
then maybe a midweek game where Jose Torres went in

68
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,080
and started a couple of games for you. Other than that,

69
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:13,879
he was your guy behind the dish. Noah Lewis was

70
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:15,680
third on your team in batting average at a two

71
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,360
ninety seven. He started in forty seven games and appeared

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,839
in sixty games. He like I said, at a two

73
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,160
ninety seven batting average, he had nineteen RBI, just three

74
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,480
home runs. But that power is gonna come along more

75
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:30,800
for him. But he was a table setter for you.

76
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,040
He was able to get on base. He had fifty

77
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,439
four hits for you, and once he got on base,

78
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,360
he was really really good at stealing bases as well,

79
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:45,319
as he had sixteen stolen bases out of the twenty

80
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,920
attempts that he made, so he led your team in

81
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,639
stolen bases as well, and we know how much Mad

82
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,319
Diggs and company liked to try to go and steal bases.

83
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:57,360
Then you look at Blaize Rodriguez. He played in every

84
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:59,720
single game for you and started in every single game

85
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:04,120
for this past year with a two fifty two batting average. Defensively,

86
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:06,399
he was very, very impressive. We saw how big he

87
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,920
came up in the Cincinnati game, the elimination game that Sunday,

88
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:13,720
where he had two Sports Center Top ten type plays,

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,759
So he's gonna be big to have back. And then

90
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,120
obviously saw your prud eventually started off the season as

91
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,920
a midweek starter, emerging more as a Friday night starter,

92
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,879
having a rough patch, but then kind of being a

93
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,000
back end bullpen guy for you and still having some

94
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,920
big closing moments in his freshman campaign. He finishes his

95
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:38,839
freshman season as I'm pulling it up down here with

96
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,160
a five to twenty one bad or excuse me, a

97
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,000
five to twenty one er. He was seven and five

98
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:47,399
and twenty five appearances. He started ten games for you.

99
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,040
He threw in seventy four at a third innings and

100
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:53,639
he had eighty three strikeouts, which was third on the

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,360
team behind Tyroman and Andrew Herman. So that four is a

102
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,519
huge part for you, guys. It's a huge piece that

103
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,399
you have. And then you think about Hayden Pearson, who

104
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:07,560
was really big for you in a lot of moments.

105
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,759
He wasn't a true starter, but he had a four

106
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:13,160
and three record, He had a three seventeen ERA, he

107
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:17,720
appeared in twenty eight games. I'm looking at Parker Smith's stead.

108
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,000
Excuse me. Parker Smith had a three seventeen. He was

109
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:22,480
four and three and twenty eight appearances in one start.

110
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:26,439
Hayden Pearson meanwhile had a three seventy four ERA. He

111
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,680
was one to ohero and twenty six appearances. He pitched

112
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,240
in thirty three in two third innings. Parker Smith went

113
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,519
forty eight in the third innings. Hayden Pearson had twenty

114
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,319
eight shrikeouts. Parker Smith had thirty nine. So all of

115
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,439
those guys are huge for you. And then we talk

116
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,439
about Mark Collins as well, as we saw near the

117
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000
back half of the season him kind of emerging and

118
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,160
having really really big games for you. You think about

119
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:53,839
the four RBI career high game that he had in

120
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:57,439
the regional and how big that was, and he continued

121
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:01,160
to build as the season progressed. He had a two

122
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,160
seventy nine batting average. He appeared in forty seven games

123
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,759
and started in thirty two of them. He had thirty

124
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:13,439
six hits, five home runs, and twenty two RBI. So

125
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,839
just having those guys in the mix helps you a lot.

126
00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,079
And Coach Diggs had talked about that he really believes

127
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360
that this team, with the pieces that they have and

128
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:25,839
what they are are going to be bringing in, that

129
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,240
this group can not only just be a part of

130
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,680
a regional, but can host one in twenty twenty seven.

131
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:33,120
And I would have to agree with him because of

132
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,959
how talented this freshman class is and all of the

133
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:40,160
pieces around it can potentially be as well. We have

134
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:43,560
yet to hear from Drew Marko, Donovan LaSalle, and Steven

135
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,920
Spalita as some guys of note. There are plenty other

136
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,439
players on the roster as well that have not announced

137
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,879
their intentions. Josh Limb is one of them. Cole Flanagan

138
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,560
is another, Bryce Wilson, Landon, Victorian Oleen Galt, to let

139
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,000
Case and Ballard. Obviously, Chase Morgan did not play this

140
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,480
past season, but he would be in the mix as well.

141
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:10,319
We've heard from Sawyer Prue and Parker Smith, and like

142
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,279
I said, I'm just going down the list. Cody Brash

143
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,879
could potentially be someone that could enter the MLB draft.

144
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:22,759
Tyroman can also be that, Gared Carter, cam Riley, Griffin, Abart,

145
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:27,120
Trip Dobson. And that is pretty much it. So we're

146
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,839
waiting to see if more and more guys announced their intentions.

147
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,200
But as of now, you have seven guys that have

148
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,120
made it publicly known they will be back in twenty

149
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,600
twenty seven. Now. As exciting as it is to see

150
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:41,440
what guys will be coming back, there have been some

151
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,600
players to have announced their attentions their intentions to leave

152
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,759
the program and enter the transfer portal, one of them

153
00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:50,600
being a little bit of a surprise. We'll discuss all

154
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:58,320
of that when we come back here on Rage and Run. Now, Hey, guys,

155
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,399
thank you so much to tune it into another episode

163
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:20,000
Raging Cajun fans just like yourself. So, as I mentioned,

164
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:23,919
seven players have announced their intentions to return to the

165
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,960
Raging Cagen's program in twenty twenty seven. We've listed them

166
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,200
all for you. I'll read them again. Parker Smith, Hayden Pearson,

167
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,799
Noah Lewis, Blaize Rodriguez, Cole Brown, Sawyer prud and Mark Collins.

168
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,879
We have heard four players announce their intentions to enter

169
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,639
the transfer portal and then a fifth player in Murphy Brooks,

170
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,200
announcing that he would be medically retiring from the game

171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,480
of baseball. Cohen Alfonso, Jas Lacava and wil Wilton Taylor

172
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:56,720
were all players that were not with you in the

173
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,799
Startville regional. They have officially entered into the transfer portal.

174
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,759
And on the same day that Tuesday, as all of

175
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:06,320
these players were announcing that they would be coming back

176
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,799
and it was a lot of excitement, Maddix Mendino slipped

177
00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:12,200
in that he would be entering the transfer portal after

178
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,519
three seasons with the program, having one year of eligibility

179
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,200
and while this may come as somewhat of a shock

180
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,679
for me, I think that it makes a lot of sense.

181
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,799
Maddix was fourth on your team in batting average with

182
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:29,039
two seventy eight. He played in fifty one games, while

183
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:31,919
starting in thirty five of them. He had thirty seven hits,

184
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,639
seven doubles to triples, no home runs, and eighteen RBIs

185
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,720
for you. He also had eleven stolen bases out of

186
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:44,919
fourteen attempts. And the reason that I say that this

187
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,919
is not a huge shocker for me is because of

188
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,759
the role that Noah Lewis played right there were a

189
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:54,360
lot of instances where they were kind of mixing and

190
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:57,399
matching back and forth. You'd have Maddix there, you'd have

191
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,120
Noah there, and it was back and forth. I know

192
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,360
that it may seem like he's not being loyal, but

193
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,120
you had a lot of guys to leave after the

194
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:09,799
twenty twenty five season, and Maddix decided to return and

195
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,360
come back, and he is entitled to have the opportunity

196
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,440
to see if the grass is greener on the other side.

197
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:18,480
We don't know if that will be the case for

198
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,919
him or not, but he definitely had some big moments

199
00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:24,039
for you not just during the season, but in the

200
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,200
postseason as well. You think about when Noah Lewis initially

201
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,399
got hurt there in the Sunbelt Conference tournament, Maddix was

202
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:32,279
inserted in the lineup, and he had some really big

203
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,120
moments for you, hit some big moments in the regional

204
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:39,840
as well, and so losing that will hurt just a bit,

205
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,000
but you know that you have a ton of upside

206
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,039
with a younger player in Noah Lewis. In previous instances,

207
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,919
you typically will go with the younger player that you

208
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
have on the roster because they have more of an

209
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,840
upside and more of an opportunity to get better for

210
00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:00,919
you and your programs. So as it's now, you have

211
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:03,559
five players that will not be returning, and then you

212
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:06,879
have five seniors that will be out of eligibility Leamine,

213
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Ricoberto Hernandez, Andrew Herman, Tyler Papenbrock, and Jose Torres, so

214
00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:15,279
ten total players that could potentially not be back. You

215
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,720
have seven that have announced their intentions of returning, and

216
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:23,320
I've listed the multiple guys that could potentially still be

217
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:45,159
coming back as well. So if I'm counting one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen.

218
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,840
Other guys have not made it clear of what their

219
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:50,320
intentions are as well. And as you see, I'm looking

220
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,840
down on my phone quite a bit because I'm trying

221
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,759
to make sure that I don't miss anybody announcing while

222
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:57,360
I'm recording this episode and potentially having to redo it

223
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,919
for a second time. But it's gonna be big to

224
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,320
see what you can get to add from the guys

225
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,240
that are going to return. You can potentially have twenty

226
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,000
four guys to come back. Two of those twenty four

227
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:13,159
are already going to be draft eligible. We know Ty

228
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Roman and Cody Brash as well. We will see exactly

229
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:21,399
what they decide to do, whether that's for the next

230
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,679
level or not, or if they're gonna be willing to

231
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,279
bet on theirselves and running back one more time for

232
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,360
one more year to try to potentially improve their draft

233
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:33,919
stock even more so and and go further in the

234
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,000
postseason with the Raging Cagen's program. So we'll see about

235
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,440
that also. Of note, the Cajuns also have already added

236
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,080
someone out of the portal as Kaylee Pizzano. I think

237
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,759
that's how you pronounce his first name. At some point,

238
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,320
we will definitely be able to figure out for sure,

239
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,440
he announced back on May. The second Going Down South

240
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,240
was his post on his Instagram. Shout out to Talking

241
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:04,080
Teague on Twitter for putting the post up and bringing

242
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,919
that to light, and then shout out to beer Hose

243
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,759
boys instead of water holes boys for forgetting the nuggets there.

244
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:14,279
He's a former Oregon Duck commit. He was the number

245
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,240
three player in the state of Oregon and the number

246
00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:19,000
one first baseman. He's sixty three two and twenty five

247
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,960
pounds and had a three eighteen batting average last year

248
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,639
in the JUCO ranks. So you've already added a player

249
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:27,879
out of the portal. The two players that I know

250
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:29,679
off the top of my head from your high school

251
00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:32,519
class are Evan Vincent from Turlin's Catholic who wass a pitcher,

252
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:36,879
and Miles Ldeaux, who's an infielder for you. So you're

253
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,759
loaded up and you you could be looking really really

254
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:44,159
strong for the twenty twenty seven campaign, and it's going

255
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,960
to be exciting to see how things will develop for

256
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:51,000
you over this offseason and towards the future. And while

257
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,080
it is still very early in the in the process,

258
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,759
the transfer portal coming open on June the first, and

259
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,919
all of these players that have announced that they could

260
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,480
come back still have a till June thirtieth to potentially

261
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:04,799
be given an offer and could change their mind, and

262
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,559
they would be entitled to be able to do that.

263
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,159
So it's going to be important for Mad Daggs and

264
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,960
company to hold the rope and continue to hold onto

265
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
those relationships and only hope that these guys will stick

266
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:20,559
true to the word that they have given and committed

267
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,120
to that they will be willing to stay in the

268
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,960
Vermilion and White. One final note, there also will be

269
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,080
a change among the coaching staff as assistant coach and

270
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:37,320
recruiting coordinator Zach lafleur I was told that he would

271
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,440
be taking the head coaching job at Turlin's Catholic, which

272
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,799
is also his alma mater. Zach is also an alum

273
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:48,200
of the Raging Cagen's baseball program and he's been a

274
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
part of the program since he was done in his

275
00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:54,399
playing days. We're serving as the recruiting coordinator, helping to

276
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,120
find so many talented guys that should think about throughout

277
00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:02,279
the program. Carson Rocketford's Blaze Rodriguez Kyle de Barge, LP

278
00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:05,080
loadj Event, so on, and so for so many different guys.

279
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:08,039
He was one of the main pieces to help you

280
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,600
to be able to bring in some of those guys

281
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:13,000
and recruit them to this program. So he will be

282
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:15,480
truly truly missed, But this was an opportunity for him

283
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,480
to go and lead a program and to lead his

284
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:20,799
alma mater because he is a Turlin's Catholic alum as well.

285
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,519
He had some great experience as well as after the

286
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,639
James Madison series, head coach Mac Diggs went more into

287
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,799
the dugout and allowed Zach to take the third base

288
00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:35,360
coaching position, so he was waiving everybody home and having

289
00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:37,440
good moments with plays at the plate and all of

290
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,919
those things like that. So had tip to Zach for

291
00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:41,879
a job well done and good luck to him, and

292
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,679
Turtland's Catholic will definitely be touching bases with him, especially

293
00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:48,279
on my day job at KATC, and it'll be exciting

294
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,159
to see what he can do with that program as well.

295
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,559
So that's going to wrap up this episode of Rage

296
00:16:54,559 --> 00:16:56,720
and Rundown. We'll be keeping our eyes to make sure

297
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:59,639
that no other player announces in the time that I

298
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,000
fit recording this episode or in the next couple of hours.

299
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,640
If it does, we'll try to give you an update

300
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,599
as well. Thank you guys so much. If you made

301
