If you’re a dad who can’t throw BP. Call the BP Bros. You can do the lesson and we just throw. It’s a win win.

Atta boy McClure!
WALK OFF: One swing of the bat by @LukeMcClure07 gives @BaseballMaroons a sectional title in a 1-0 extra innings win over Mahomet-Seymour. @maroonathletics
Another @Sparks_North headed to the east coast! Pete works his mfn tail off and just keeps getting better. The dude shoves on the bump and can swing it at the plate. Congrats @PeterFarren6 best of luck and keep working!
I am extremely excited to announce my commitment to New York University to continue my academic and athletic career. A Huge thanks to Coach Kimbler for giving me this opportunity and a huge thank you to the @oprfbaseball @Sparks_North and @BoDomeBville family for supporting me!
One of the best players I’ve coached…Deserves every bit of this. Does everything the right way on and off the field. Congrats @noah88delgado keep working and be great!
GO NY GO NY GO! Atta boy Jake! Rochester didn’t miss with this one. Jake is always working and wanting to get better. Great behind the dish and lots of pop in the bat! @JakeBentivenga best of luck next 4 years! #OneLine

Check out the swing of Landon Thome, the son of Hall of Famer Jim Thome.

Corner outfield that can absolutely rake! Noah is everything you can ask for in a player. Always grinding and wanting to get better. Goes about the game the right way and never makes an excuse.

Owen Walsh (‘25, IL) strides into this one and drives it high & deep. Lifts it well, seeing it land beyond the fence for a 3-run HR💣!! @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleForTheMW
Jake has been a force all summer whether it’s in the box or behind the plate. Lots of pop 💣 and a strong arm. ++ catcher and can play both corner INF positions. #SparksNorth @JakeBentivenga
Jake Bentivenga (‘25, IL) takes the hands to his one and lifts backside. Good whip thru it with feel for the barrel and an ability to get on plane. Good strength off i, hustles out a double here. @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleForTheMW
Pete with another strong outing on the mound going 3.2inn, 0 hits, 4ks. Can swing it at the plate as well and play the OF. Strong and fast player that you want on your team! #SparksNorth @PeterFarren6
Peter Farren (‘25, IL) opened up working 81-83 mph on the FB showing feel for 74-77 mph breaker that has tight spin when he pulls down through it well. @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleForTheMW
O’Neil back at it again this weekend pitching very well out of relief and sticking it at the plate. Someone pick him up asap! #SparksNorth @GavinONeil_10
Here’s Gavin O’Neil (‘25, IL) getting it done at the dish. Added 2 hits, here’s those swings. Some length thru it, RTF in the frame and strength to impact it. @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleForTheMW
Foley is a versatile MIF with a short simple swing that finds barrels. Smart on the bases and can also get on the bump and shove it! @Ryan_Foley28 #SparksNorth
Ryan Foley (‘25, IL) added a single here finding a way to get on time and drive this one BS into RF. Also closed things out working up to 82 mph on a 2-out appearance. @PG_Illinois @PG_Uncommitted #BattleForTheMW
