The Mad Dogs Baseball Club: My Site News

Mad Dogs and ATH Baseball have paired up to field a team to compete in the 17U Junior Olympics put on by USA Baseball in Peoria, AZ.  USA Baseball has adjusted the age eligibility to be more in line with international age classifications.  This week long tournament is one of the top recruiting events of the year.  All games are scored and results are given to college recruiters and professional scouts.  

This event filled up fast.  Roster is Now Full.  We plan to do this again next year at 15U as well so get requests in early.

Players registering through Mad Dogs Baseball will receive $100 off the registration price of upcoming local Perfect Game Events.  Next event will be the Sunshine West Showcase on June 9-10 at Southwestern College.  If you would like to attend this event, contact teammaddog@cox.net.

Mad Dogs Class of 2012's took a trip to Scottsdale Arizona and competed in the Evoshield National Championships.  They all played competitively and came home with a win in the 4 games.  Coach Bill was quoted saying "we are 3-0 after 5 innnings".  The trip was a great success.  For our juniors, plan on attending this event next Fall.

Joe Musgrove is now a Toronto Blue Jay.  Joe was selected with the 46th pick of the MLB draft by the Toronto Blue Jays.  We're very excited for Joe and his family.  Congratulations Joe!

Gabe Saquillan picked by Seattle Mariners.  Gabe was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 25th round.  He also has a scholarship to Cal State Northridge.  Congratulations Gabe!

Michael Cedaroth picked by Arizona Diamondbacks.  Mike was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 41st round.  He also has a scholarship to San Diego State.  Congratulations Mike!

The 15 year old Mad Dogs USABF team earned the #1 seed in pool play but let their guard down in the opening round of the double elimination playoff.  That seemed to wake the sleeping Dogs up.  They scored over 12 runs per game sweeping 3 straight games and skunked the Gamers 12-0 in the Championship game at Pt Loma Nazarene. 

Shane Coleman had a great tournament with a bunch of hits including 2 homers to add to his complete game shutout masterpiece in the final game.

Mark Young went 19-25 (0.760) with 5 triples leading all tournament hitters in average.

Matt Derosier and Stephen Johnston nailed down Wins when it counted to set Shane up for the final dance. 

James Martin (aka Big League), Frankie Mello, Matt Melanese, Eddie Alvarez, Rory Wagner, Kyle Provancha, Joey Parisi, Leo Baltazar, Xavier Daniels, Gordy Juarez and Justin McKinney all had great tournaments as well. 

Way to go Dogs!!!

Trey Hunt, Kyle McBride, Charles Mormon and Austin Trammell were a modern day version of Murderer's Row.  Each had 2 home runs during the tourney. 

Pat Plein showed off what he learned at the Stanford camp and went 3 for 3 with a jack in the Championship game. 

Steve Solivan, Jonny Alegria, Jonathon Howarth, Wes Judisch, Sean Ross, Steve Liu, Matt Haskins and Cris Camarda all pitched in as well. 

Steve Solivan was also solid on the mound giving up only 3 or so hits in 7 solid innings of work.  Jay Fleer and Robbie Schmidt were work horses and kept us alive.  Chris Rosa threw a complete game beating a tough Waves team from Santa Clara to pave the way to the championship game.  Johnny Lee showed true character supporting the team throughout while nursing an aching arm.
