Keys To Success In 2012
KEYS TO SUCCESS IN 2012
1/13/2012 H5AB.COM 1. BASE RUNNING WILL BE PREMIUM IN 2012 – The ability to steal, take the extra base, get the proper lead, execute the hit & run, will be key to 2012 success. 2. PITCHERS MUST THROW STRIKES; WALKS WILL BE DEVASTATING – In 2012, pitchers must throw strikes! With the emphasis on high quality base running, now more than ever, walks will turn into runs. 3. FUNNDAMENTALS; BUNTING, HIT & RUN, WILL STAND OUT – The ability to get a bunt down on any count at any spot in the order will be a necessity for any team to be successful in 2012. 4. UP THE MIDDLE DEFENSE WILL BE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL TEAMS – Catcher, SS, 2B, & CF will once again be the prime positions on the field. The positions where you will likely find some of your best players in the game. To be successful, teams will need smart, athletic, catchers who possess above average arm, footwork, throwing, & leadership. The SS of 2012 will have to possess above average footwork, glove work, range, and arm. At 2B teams will need an above average glove man as well as good speed, and superior communications skills with fellow team mates. The CF will once again be the true captain of the outfield! He will possess above average speed, footwork, arm, & glove. Will have a take charge mentality. Solid at the corners; 1B & 3B will be required to excel at defensive skills on the field now more than ever. 1B will require above average glove work, & leadership qualities. 3B will require above average instincts, footwork, & arm. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL; WILLINGNESS TO PLAY UNSELFISHLY – The willingness for players to play as a team, put down the bunt, make the perfect slide, accept your role, and the overall willingness of players to incorporate “what’s best for the team’ in their decisions and game play. Unselfishness at home; willingness of parents to except what the best roll for player’s particular team is as designated by his coach.

Houston 5A Baseball Presents Returning Strength Team Preview
In 2011, the Tigers fielded a young team in spots and Coach MPherson was awarded for his ability to blend youth with experience as Katy was able to give eventual District Champion Memorial all they could handle in their two head-to-head contests. Unfortunately, the Tigers finished a step shy of another District Championship but were able to secure yet another play-off appearance with a second place finish in District 19-5A. In 2012 they return three committed players in Cameron Friess (San Jac), Dylan Gaffney (Angelina) and Ivan Garcia (San Jac). Combined with a strong returning underclass, it should surprise no one if the Tigers are in the play-off hunt again in 2012. KATY TIGERS District: 19-5A Head Coach: Tom McPherson Assistant Coaches: Mike Langan, Michael Barrow, Terry Jaimes Previous season record: (District 12-2, Overall 22-6) Previous season play-off accomplishments: Loss to Westside 2-games-to-0 in bi-district Graduated starters/key losses: Colt Atwood, Kyle Thompson, Will Wadas, Dillion Mazzoccoli, Christian Ramsey, Tyler Holsey, Angel Montoya, Jordan Thompson Returning starters & honors/lettermen/others: Quinn Atwood, Cameron Friess, Dylan Gaffney, Ivan Garcia, Caleb Thompson, Colton Asheim, Dylan Sutton, Ryan Phillips, Austin Frick, Zane Garcia, Gerard Montez, Travis Wiley, Zach Wilson, Jonathan Martinez, Jason Jones - Courtesy of Houston 5A Baseball (www.houston5abaseball.com)

2012 Katy Baseball "Wish List"
Another exciting year of Katy baseball is upon us and the baseball program is asking for your support. Katy athletes have always been a strong force in our community and the community has always taken pride and supported all of our amateur athletes. What we need is to be able to provide the baseball program the rest of the financial support needed for the consumable and depreciable items that our annual budget doesn't support. Items such as additional baseballs and gear and items that degrade like pitching mounds and home plate covers, fence boards and tires on the portable hitting cages. The 2012 Katy"Wish List" handout is below. If you are interested in donating any of the items on the Wish List or would like to make a monetary donation to go toward any of these items, please contact Teri Gaffney at gaffneykaty@aol.com for more information. Thank you in advance for your continued support of the Katy Tigers. Handout: 2012 Katy "Wish List"
