Quotable I: “He probably would have been the best player in our league this summer. Losing him will be impossible to replace, but that’s what we’re about, moving guys onto pro ball. The problem was, no one saw Kason last year. We had Nolan Weinmeyer. the shortstop for the Junior National Team, who played there on our pro tours to Arizona and Florida. In league play, one would play short, the other would be at third. We’d switch them up. He has a big-time work ethic, whether going to a spring coach or with us in practice or games. Some guys want a day off. I don’t know if he ever sat a game last year. Caught Greg Hamilton’s eye at the fall showcase but was too old.” _ Blaze coach Jamie Bodaly. One of 2B Evan Maloney and Luke Laird will be the next Blaze SS.
Quotable II, opposing coach from PG event: “He’s a very good player. Similar situation to Tyson Moran (Wingham, Ont.) who the Kansas City Royals drafted from the Great Lake Canadians last summer. Not a ‘famous’ guy. Wasn’t on the Junior National Team. He was in his gap year and can really hit. He’s a bat first guy for sure -- maybe a second baseman in pro ball. I liked how he played.”
