Wilson: McDowell found mojo in breakout season with Oregon State
“He’s polite, mild mannered and a seemingly all-around nice guy.
Micah McDowell is at his best on the diamond, however, when he taps into his nasty side.
“I remember freshman and sophomore year didn’t go the way he planned, he had an injury in there as well and trying to come back from that, but I remember that transition of him going from kind of passive and unsure to, ‘I’m a bad man.’ Here we go,” said Mitch Canham, the head coach of Oregon State University’s baseball program.”

Verge: Double threat Romeo headed to Florida State
“It’s a threatening combination for the opposition when Josiah Romeo, a tall, 6'3'' righthander from Brampton, Ontario takes the mound. He refuses to be rattled by adversity, and can smack a 91 mph fastball into the catcher's mitt.
It’s those skills that had many schools in the U.S. calling the 18-year-old who plays for the Mississauga Tigers. Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Florida - with Romeo deciding to commit to Florida State late last year.”

Verge: No set of brothers are an Island, the Russells -- from Grand Manan to 13U nationals
“A ball, a glove, and a twin brother with the same love.
That was all Tripp and Braeden Russell needed to get them started in baseball.
A partner for anything is challenging to find when your hometown is only accessible by ferry, surrounded by the Bay of Fundy. The island of Grand Manan, N.B., where the twins grew up, has a population of less than 3,000 people. It’s home to a lot of wildlife, fisherman and beautiful views - and few baseball players. But they had an advantage over other young ball players on the island. They didn’t have to look far for someone to play catch with, because they always had each other.”
