Hamilton Southeastern, Indiana U. grad Gorski brings multiple tools to the game
Matt Gorski brings many attributes to the diamond.
The former Hamilton Southeastern High School and Indiana University outfielder now in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization takes pride in his versatility.
"I can do a bunch of stuff on a baseball field," says Gorski, who swings and throws right-handed. "I consider myself to be a five-tool athlete."
In 95 games with the 2021 High Class-A Greensboro (N.C.) Grasshoppers (48 in center field, 38 in right field, three in left field, three at first base and three at designated hitter), Gorski hit .223 (80-of-358) 17 home runs, 18 doubles, 56 runs batted in, 62 runs scored, 18 stolen bases and .710 OPS (.294 on-base percentage plus .416 slugging average).
On Sept. 7 at Jersey Shore, 23-year-old Gorski went 5-of-6 with one homer, two RBIs and one run.
Does Gorski consider himself a power hitter?
"I'm starting to think of myself as one," says Gorski. "I didn't always.
"During the (COVID-19) quarantine period, I went though a bit of a body change."
With no Minor League Baseball season in 2020, Gorski focused on strength training at home.
"I could not do a lot of baseball stuff," says Gorski, who lives in Fishers, Ind.
Once facilities opened, he was able to work on keeping his batting eye and swing in shape.
"I tried to face a live arm," says Gorski. "You can't replicate that any other way."
From October until the holidays, he went to PRP Baseball workouts at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville, Ind.
Around Feb. 2021 — before spring training in Bradenton, Fla. — he went with Pirates minor league infielder Jared Triolo to Dynamic Sports Training in Houston.
Through it all, Gorski bulked up to 215 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame.
In the field, Gorski is most comfortable in center field though he spent a fair share of time in left as an IU sophomore and right as a Hoosiers junior.
Gorski played three seasons at Indiana University (2017-19) — two for head coach Chris Lemonis and one for Jeff Mercer.
In 165 games (158 as a starter), he hit .306 (189-of-617) with 24 homers, five triples, 32 doubles, 108 RBIs, 127 runs, 57 stolen bases and .869 OPS (.378/.491).
"(Lemonis) was a lot like a dad not like a baseball coach," says Gorski. "He's a really good recruiter and knows how to care for people. He cared about the classroom and your family. He was first one to call me (when I got drafted).
"He didn't try to make anything bigger than what it was. He laid it out for you. You're going to have to work. He told it straight."
Mercer took another approach.
"He's a lot more baseball-driven than Coach Lemonis," says Gorski. "That's not a bad thing. They're just different styles. (With Mercer) it was get big, get strong, hit balls far.
"We won a Big Ten title with him (in 2019). It obviously works."
Gorski was part of a powerful Indiana lineup that slugged 95 homers (second in the country behind Vanderbilt's 100) and was selected by Pittsburgh in the second round of the 2019 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft (57th overall pick).
In 49 games with the short-season 2019 West Virginia Black Bears, he hit .223 (40-of-179) with three home runs, two triples, nine doubles, 22 runs batted in, 32 runs, 11 stolen bases and .643 OPS (.297.346).
His two pro ball seasons have taught Gorski some things.
"I learned that it's hard," says Gorski. "You have to have the love of the game to go through the peaks and valleys."
Since the 2021 season ended, Gorski has been working out at PRP Baseball. Next Sunday he heads to Florida for a month-long hitting camp.
Born Dec. 22, 1997 in South Bend, Ind., Gorski moved to Fishers when he was very young.
He played for the HSE Cats and Indiana Prospects before spending his 13U to 18U summers with the Indiana Nitro with Rick Stiner, Ken Elsbury and Eric Osborn as head coaches.
He was on the freshmen team his first year at Hamilton Southeastern then spent three varsity season with head coach Scott Henson.
"He was a lot like Lemonis," says Gorski of Henson. "He cared about you more than a baseball player. It was the classroom, your family, your girlfriend.
"He was also a very good baseball coach. He made a lot of players better than expected. He knew how to individualize each person's styles and connect with them in different ways."
Henson is now an assistant at Noblesville High School.
Matt, who finished his IU degree in Sports Marketing & Management in the spring, is the youngest of HSE accountant Mark and nurse Lisa Gorski's three children. Steven Gorski is a seventh grade math teacher at Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate/Junior High. Kristen Gorski is a communications specialist/press secretary for the Indiana Senate.

VanOeveren, Hamilton Heights Huskies ready to go
January 8, 2021 stvkrh905	3 Comments
A former all-Big Ten Conference and professional infielder was hired in the fall of 2019 as head coach of the baseball program at Hamilton Heights High School in Arcadia, Ind., and was getting the Huskies ready when the 2020 season was placed on hold and — eventually — canceled because of the pandemic.
Ryan VanOeveren, who was a standout at the University of Michigan and was selected by the Montreal Expos in the 26th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, is now leading some Hamilton Heights players through twice-a-week IHSAA Limited Contact paces and is optimistic to really get rolling in 2021.
The Huskies have also been conditioning for the spring.
"It's been pretty good," says VanOeveren. "There's been a good turnout. The kids have good attitudes and are hungry to get back on the field.
"We met Monday and the intensity level went up."
VanOeveren, who was an assistant at Otsego (Mich.) High School after his playing career and more recently a coach in the Indiana Primetime Baseball travel organization, places an emphasis on fundamentals. Defense and pitching will be important to the Huskies.
"Making the routine plays on defense is absolutely critical to playing successful baseball," says VanOeveren. "It's about executing the fundamentals of the game.
"We're building guys on the mound — Knowing when to push the envelope and when to back off. They've responded really well."
Hamilton Heights (enrollment around 750) is a member of the Hoosier Athletic Conference (with Benton Central, Lafayette Central Catholic, Lewis Cass, Northwestern, Rensselaer Central, Tipton, Twin Lakes, West Lafayette and Western).
The Huskies are part of an IHSAA Class 3A sectional grouping with Delta, Guerin Catholic, Jay County, New Castle and Yorktown. Hamilton Heights has won two sectional titles — 2006 and 2012.
Recent Hamilton Heights graduates playing college baseball include Sam Fulton (Chattanooga, Tenn., State Community College), Alex Hewitt (Butler University in Indianapolis), Ike Peterson (Grace College in Winona Lake, Ind.) and Reese Wills (Marian University in Indianapolis. VanOeveren says some current players are weighting their options.
"Recruiting is challenging for everybody because of COVID," says VanOeveren. "I was recruited to numerous schools all over the Midwest. My advice: Don't select the school just based upon baseball.
"Baseball comes to an end at some point for all of us."
A 1991 graduated of Grandville (Mich.) High School near Grand Rapids, VanOeveren was initially recruited by Michigan assistant Ted Mahan (who went on to be head coach at Michigan State University) and Wolverines head coach Bill Freehan got involved near the end of the process. VanOeveren committed in May of his senior year.
VanOeveren knew about Freehan's catching with the Detroit Tigers, but was at school in Ann Arbor when he learned about his exploits in baseball and football at Michigan.
"Coach Freehan was a genuinely caring person," says VanOeveren. "He'd give you the shirt off his back."
In his first fall, shortstop VanOeveren got to take infield instruction from volunteer assistant Moby Benedict.
"Moby made me such a better infielder," says VanOeveren.
Other U-M assistants during his career included Ace Adams and Steve Merriman.
"Ace was great to be around," says VanOeveren. "He would not hesitate to get on you, but we were better for it."
VanOeveren counted Merriman, who is expected to return to Michigan as pitching coach for 2021, as a friend back then and today.
"He's a quality human being," says VanOeveren of Merriman. "He shows that he cares about you if you work hard for him.
"The baseball stuff falls into place after that."
VanOeveren went to Michigan as an undersized player and continued to work.
"I was fortunate to have coaches that were patient for me growing up," says VanOeveren.
After a strong junior season in 1994, teammates voted outfielder Rodney Goble and infielder VanOeveren as co-captains for 1995.
"It lead by example," says VanOeveren. "I was not that verbal."
As an Expos minor leaguer, VanOeveren played 49 games for the 1995 Class-A Albany (Ga.) Polecats. Several future big leaguers were on the team — among them Vladimir Guerrero, Brad Fullmer and Javier Vazquez.
VanOeveren was invited to spring training in 1996. At the end of camp, he was not assigned to a team as an infielder but was given the option of transitioning to a pitcher.
"I had a little too much pride back then," says VanOeveren. "I asked for my release."
VanOeveren went back to finish his college degree and moved on.
He was at Otsego for two seasons then did not coach again until the late 2010's. By this time he had moved to central Indiana.
As an Indiana Primetime coach, VanOeveren gets to work with Quentin Brown and Ryan Cole and his players get to train at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville, Ind.
"(Indiana Primetime) is good to the kids at Hamilton Heights, giving them the opportunity to play really competitive baseball," says VanOeveren. "I love Finch Creek. We're spoiled getting access to that place.
"We're very fortunate to live in this area and have those opportunities."
Besides VanOeveren, the 2021 Husky coaching staff features varsity assistants Brian Clancy and Brad Pitts, junior varsity head coach Adam Hughes and JV assistant Cole Meyer. Clancy, who played at Lewis University in Romeoville, Ill., was on the 2000 staff. Pitts, who had coached at Harrison High School in West Lafayette, is a newcomer to Hamilton Heights.
Husky Ballpark has received laser-leveling and upgrades to the irrigation system from Marschand's Athletic Field Service and a new backstop is going up. VanOeveren says new dugouts and other improvements could come this summer.

Wade takes leadership, mental toughness from Kokomo to Purdue
Kyle Wade got the chance to be an athletic leader at a young age.
He was an eighth grader in Kokomo, Ind., and attending football workouts when Kokomo High School head coach Brett Colby let him know the expectations of the program and the community.
"This is your team next year" says Wade, recalling the words Colby said to the varsity Wildkats' heir apparent at quarterback as a freshman in the fall of 2014. "On our first thud (in practice), I think I stuttered the words and dropped the ball.
"(Colby) told me, 'you can't show weakness to your teammates' and 'never act like you can't.' I took that to heart."
Wade went on to be a four-year starter and earned the IHSAA Class 5A Phil N. Eskew Mental Attitude Award as Kokomo finished as state runners-up in 2017. He was also a four-year starter at shortstop in baseball for head coach Sean Wade and played three varsity basketball seasons — freshman and sophomore for Matt Moore and senior for Bob Wonnell.
"Coach Swan was positive, but he wasn't afraid to get on us," says Wade of his high school baseball experience. "(Swan) trusted us.
"We were an older team with a lot of guys who would go on to Power 5 (college) baseball (including Class of 2018's Jack Perkins to Louisville and Bayden Root to Ohio State and Class of 2020's Charez Butcher to Tennessee)."
Wade appreciates Moore for his organization skills and discipline.
"His scouting reports were next level," says Wade. "Coach Wonnell won a state tournament (Class 1A at Tindley in 2017). He asked me about playing again (as a senior). He wanted a leader. He helped keep me in shape (Wade was 235 pounds at the end of his senior football season and 216 at the close of the basketball season)."
A combination of physicality, basketball I.Q. gained from having a father as a former Kokomo head coach (2000-05), he played on the front line — even guarding 7-footers.
"Being in the (North Central Conference) as a undersized center is not for the weak-heated.
"I had to mature. I've led by by example, pushing guys to get better and motivated to play. I've had to have mental toughness. I've never been one of the most talented guys on my teams."
But Wade showed enough talent that he had college offers in football and baseball. He chose the diamond and accepted then-head coach Mark Wasikowski's invitation to play at Purdue University.
"As a freshman coming into a Big Ten program, I had older guys who helped get me going and taught me about work ethic," says Wade. "He have a lot of new guys (in 2020-21). As a junior, I'm in that position this year and doing it to the best of my ability."
The COVID-19-shortened 2020 season was his second as a right-handed pitcher for the Boilermakers.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder appeared in five games (all in relief) and went 1-0 with a 4.05 earned run average. In 6 2/3 innings, he struck out two and walked one.
As a freshman in 2019, Wade got into 15 games (two as a starter) and went 2-2 with a 5.18 ERA. In 40 innings, he struck out 27 and walked 11.
Greg Goff took over as Purdue head coach and Chris Marx became pitching coach for 2020.
"I love Coach Goff," says Wade. "I really enjoy playing for him. He's so energetic and positive.
"He's a players' coach. He will love you and get on you to make you better and then love you some more."
Wade appreciates Marx for his knowledge and attention to detail.
"He wants everybody to succeed and is so organized in the bullpen.
"He has helped a lot of guys with mechanics and the mental game. He tells us to never be comfortable. There's always something we can do better."
The plan for 2020 called for Wade to pitch the whole spring then go to St. Louis in the summer for work on getting better at the P3 (Premier Pitching Performance) lab.
When the season was halted, many players stayed in town and continued to work out and stayed on their throwing programs.
But there was a question.
"What's next?," says Wade. "Are we ever going to play baseball again?
"Once total lockdown happened, everybody went home."
Wade went back to Kokomo then came the chance to compete and train less than an hour away in the 12-team College Summer League at Grand Park in Westfield, Ind.
The righty was assigned to the Matt Kennedy-coached Snapping Turtles.
"It was a no-brainer to play there," says Wade. "It was legit.
There were hitters who would expose you if you didn't throw good pitches.
"I really enjoyed the competition."
Wade was used as a starter on Monday or Tuesday and could then recover and ramp up to his next start either at home or — if time allowed — at Pro X Athlete Development on the Grand Park campus.
In 14 2/3 innings, he posted a 2.45 ERA with 10 strikeouts and two walks.
Throwing over-the-top, Wade used a four-seam fastball that was clocked up to 89 mph in the spring and summer. He also used a slider and a change-up.
"The slider is like a slurve," says Wade. "I throw it hard 12-to-6 but I get left-to-right run.
"The change-up is an 'open circle.' Like Trevor Bauer, I start pronating it in my glove. It's thrown like a fastball. It's working really good for me."
In the past few weeks, Wade has been working on a two-seam cutter.
The Business Management major also took an online course this summer. This fall, all but one of his courses are in-person though class size is kept small to eliminate contact tracing.
In the summer of 2018, Wade went to Purdue to begin a throwing and lifting program as well as his studies.
The summer after his freshman season was spent with the Bend (Ore.) Elks of the West Coast Baseball League.
Wade has also worked with Greg Vogt of PRP Baseball at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville, Ind.
Born in Anderson, Ind., Wade was 1 when he moved with his family from Highland, Ind., where his father Mike was head boys basketball coach, to Kokomo.
Kyle played at Southside Little League then went into travel ball with the Indiana Bulls for his 10U through 15U seasons. His last head coach with that organization was Jeremy Honaker.
Wade joined the Trent Hanna-coached Cincinnati Spikes for his 16U and 17U summers.
Mike and Alison Wade have three children — Becca (25), Michaela (23) and Kyle (21).
Former Kokomo athletic director Mike Wade is now Director of Human Resources and Operations for the Kokomo School Corporation. He played baseball and basketball at Hanover (Ind.) College).
Alison Wade is a first grade teacher at Sycamore International Elementary. She played field hockey at Hanover.
Both daughters are Indiana University graduates and nurses in Indianapolis — Becca at Riley Children's Hospital and Michaela at IU Health University Hospital.

Fireballer Klein anxious to begin professional career
Will Klein is pumping gas and saving a little gas.
Klein, a right-handed pitcher who was selected in the fifth round of the 2020 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Kansas City Royals out of Eastern Illinois University, has regularly hit 99 mph on radar guns.
Last summer while competing in the Northwoods League All-Star Game, the 2017 graduate of Bloomington (Ind.) High School North hit triple digits.
In his last appearance of the summer, he pumped in a pitch at 100 mph.
Klein was the EIU Panthers' Friday starter in 2020 and went 1-2 in four appearances with a 3.33 earned run average, 33 strikeouts and 13 walks in 24 1/3 innings before the season was halted because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While university facilities were off limits, Klein and two of his three roommates stayed in Charleston, Ill., and got ready for the MLB Draft, which was shaved from 40 to five rounds this year.
Klein played catch in parking lots and open fields, threw PlyoCare Balls against park fences and used kettle bells, benches and dumb bells in the living room.
Kansas City took Klein with the 135th overall pick.
"I talked to every team," says Klein, 20. "I could tell some were more interested than others.
"The Royals were definitely the team that communicated with me the most."
With the Minor League Baseball season called off, Klein has been training with PRP Baseball's Greg Vogt at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville, Ind., up to six days a week.
The pitcher, who has added muscle and now packs 230 pounds on his 6-foot-5 frame, saves time and fuel by staying with an aunt and uncle in Fishers.
"The Royals sent a weight lifting, throwing and running schedule," says Klein. "I blend that with what Greg's doing."
Klein first worked out at PRP Baseball last summer and also went there in the winter.
Klein's natural arm slot has been close to over the top.
From there, he launches a four-seam fastball, "spike" curveball (it moves from 12-to-6 on the clock face), "gyro" slider (it has more downward and less lateral movement than some sliders) and a "circle" change-up.
In three seasons at EIU, Klein's walks-per-nine innings went from 9.6 in 2018 to 9.9 in 2019 to 4.8 in 2020.
Why the control improvement?
"A lot of repetition and smoothing out the action," says Klein. "I've been able to get a feel for what I was doing and a more efficient movement pattern with my upper and lower halves.
"Throwing more innings helped, too. I didn't throw a whole lot in high school."
Playing for head coach Richard Hurt, Klein was primarily a catcher until his senior year. In the second practice of his final prep season, he broke the thumb on his pitching hand and went to the outfield.
The previous summer while playing with the Indiana Bulls, Klein had gotten the attention of Eastern Illinois at Prep Baseball Report showcase held at Grand Park in Westfield, Ind.
Klein would be an NCAA Division I pitcher. He played at EIU for head coach Jason Anderson and had two pitching coaches — Julio Godinez in 2018 and 2019 and Tim Brown in 2020.
"(Anderson) was very helpful coming from pro ball," says Klein of the former University of Illinois right-hander who pitched in the big leagues with the New York Yankees and New York Mets. "He knew what it took mentally and physically and took me from a thrower to a pitcher."
Former catcher Godinez brought energy and also helped Klein learn about pitch sequences.
Brown was given full reign of the Panthers staff by Anderson this spring.
Klein struggled his freshmen year, starting three of 14 games and going 1-1 with a 6.62 ERA. He was used in various bullpen roles as a sophomore and went 1-1 with a 5.11 ERA.
He was the closer and Pitcher of the Year with the Lakeshore Chinooks in the summer of 2019 when he hit 100 on the gun and was told he would be a starter when he got back to EIU in the fall.
For his college career, Klein was 2-2 and struck out 62 in 42 1/3 innings.
Born in Maryville, Tenn., Will moved to Bloomington at 3. Both his parents — Bill and Brittany — are Indiana University graduates.
Will played youth baseball at Winslow and with the Unionville Arrows and then with local all-star teams before high school. During those summers, he was with the Mooresville Mafia, which changed its name the next season to Powerhouse Baseball.
At 17U, Troy Drosche was his head coach with the Indiana Bulls. At 18U, he played for the Mike Hitt-coached Indiana Blue Jays.
The summer between his freshman and sophomore years at EIU, Klein was with the Prospect League's Danville (Ill.) Dans.
Will is one semester from earning his degree in Biological Sciences.
"I grew up loving science," says Will, who has had both parents teach the subject. Bill Klein has taught at Jackson Creek Middle School with Brittany Klein is a Fairview Elementary. Both schools are in Bloomington.
Will is the oldest of their three children. The 6-4 Sam Klein (18) is a freshman baseball player at Ball State University. Molly (13) is an eighth grader who plays volleyball, basketball and softball.

Columbus native Gray deliver for Milwaukee Milkmen in a big way
August 26, 2020 stvkrh905	1 Comment
Peyton Gray has spent July and August dodging bats.
The right-handed pitcher from Columbus, Ind., playing independent professional baseball has been dominant in his back of the bullpen role.
As the closer for the American Association's Milwaukee Milkmen, Gray goes into play today (Aug. 26) with a 2-0 record, 10 saves and a 0.00 earned run average. In 24 innings, he has yet to allow a run and has struck out 41 (15.375 per nine innings) and walked 10.
"For the most part, I try to stay with myself and pitch to my strengths," says Gray. "I've been able to catch some breaks.
"It's been fun so far."
A 6-foot-3, 200-pounder, Gray delivers a fastball, slider and change-up from a three-quarter overarm slot. The slider breaks in on left-handed batters and away from righties and the "Vulcan" change sinks.
But it's his four-seam fastball that's been his out pitch. It travels 90 to 93 mph and — he learned while working out in the off-season with Greg Vogt of PRP Baseball at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville, Ind. — that it has an above-average spin rate.
The 2020 season marks Gray's third in pro ball. He was signed as a non-drafted free agent by the Colorado Rockies in 2018 out of Florida Gulf Coast University and played rookie-level and Low Class-A ball in the Rockies system in 2018 and 2019.
A 2014 graduate of Columbus (Ind.) East High School, where he was a four-year letterman for Olympians head coach Jon Gratz, Gray pitched one season at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo (0-1 with two saves, a 3.58 ERA, 21 strikeouts and 18 walks in 37 2/3 innings in 2015), one at Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Fla. (8-1 with one save, a 3.93 ERA, 55 strikeouts and 13 walks in 71 2/3 innings in 2016) and two at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Fla. (6-5 with one save, a 5.49 ERA, 110 strikeouts and 42 walks in 95 innings in 2017 and 2018).
Gray was both a mid-week starter and weekend reliever at Florida Gulf Coast. He came out of the bullpen in the Rockies organization.
With the Milkmen, he has been used mostly for one-inning outings with two exceptions. He has never faced more than seven batters at a time.
"Throwing's very crucial," says Gray. "When you're sore force yourself to throw and break up whatever's tight in the body.
Gray uses Driveline PlyoCare balls for recovery both on days he pitches and days he does not.
At 25, Gray is one of the youngest on a roster that features no less than six players with big-league experience — pitchers Henderson Alvarez, Tim Dillard, David Holmberg, Drew Hutchison, A.J. Schugel, and infielder David Washington.
"It's been really good for me to be around an older crowd like this and learn the game more," says Gray. "It's pretty close-knit team. Everybody's very friendly and down-to-earth.
"I watch how they go about their business. As a professional, you're in charge of your career. You have to know the ropes if you want that career to last long."
Gray is now with a team managed by Anthony Barone with Hayden Carter (formerly of the Kokomo, Ind., Jackrabbits) as pitching coach that plays its home games in the Milwaukee suburb of Franklin, Wis.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the American Association is operating with six teams — Milwaukee, Chicago Dogs, Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks, Saint Paul Saints, Sioux Falls Canaries and Winnipeg Goldeyes — playing a 60-game schedule. When the season began, Milwaukee was one of three hubs. Later on, Chicago and Saint Paul opened back up and began hosting games. Winnipeg has been playing mostly road games.
Milwaukee is about a five-hour trip from Columbus meaning his family has been able to see him play in-person.
"They're huge baseball fans," says Peyton of father Billy Gray and older brother Jordan Gray. "They get to live their baseball dream through me. They've traveled and supported me through all these years.
"It makes me happy to make them proud."
Billy Gray played high school baseball at Columbus North and Jordan Gray at Columbus East.
From 12 to 17, Peyton played travel baseball for the Indiana Blazers. Billy was head coach of that team in the early years and Shelbyville's Terry Kuhn filled that role in the later ones.
Bowling is a big deal in the Gray family. Billy owns Gray's Pro Shop in Columbus Bowling Center. Jordan is the men's bowling coach at Marian University in Indianapolis and his fiancee — Jerracah Heibel — is an associate head bowling coach at MU. Billy Gray is a Knights assistant.
Lisa Gray, wife of Billy and mother of Jordan and Peyton, works for Bartholemew County Youth Services Center.
Peyton Gray holds a Criminal Justice degree from Florida Gulf Coast and goes on ride-alongs with police officers during the baseball off-season. He says he sees himself going into some form of law enforcement in the future.

'High-adrenaline' righty Bachman lighting up radar guns
June 24, 2020 stvkrh905	1 Comment
Sam Bachman's fastball has registered at 96 mph while pitching for the Local Legends during the College Summer League at Grand Park at Westfield, Ind.
The right-hander hit 97 as a Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) freshman in 2019 and again for the RedHawks during the fall.
Bachman, 20, works out regularly at Fishers (Ind.) Sports Academy — owned by Ed Woolwine, who was Bachman's head coach with the Indiana Prospects travel baseball organization during his first three high school summers.
The 6-foot-1, 235-pound Bachman has also been near the top of the pulldown leader board at PRP (Passion Resilience Process) Baseball, run by Greg Vogt at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville, Ind.
What helps hit the gas?
"As I get stronger, I stay mobile," says Bachman, a 2018 graduate of Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers with 19 mound appearances (18 starts) in two seasons at Miami. "It's important to stay mobile in your upper and lower half."
To say mobile as his strength increases, Bachman pays attention to his movement patterns, goes through mobility circuits and does yoga.
Besides a two-seam fastball, Bachman throws a slider — more of a "slurve" which breaks two planes of the strike zone — and a vertical-breaking change-up.
The Grand Park League began last week and Bachman made his second appearance Tuesday, June 23. He expects to throw a bullpen Saturday at Fishers Sports Academy and take the mound in the college league again Tuesday, June 30.
"It's definitely competitive," says Bachman of the circuit that's a joint venture of Bullpen Tournaments and Pro X Athlete Development. "The State of Indiana is oftentimes overlooked.
"There's no slouch in this league. Everybody is for real."
Like other pitchers in the league who had their college season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic, Bachman is only pitching for a few innings a time.
"I'm just staying on my routine," says Bachman. "I'm working on my change-up and bettering my command with my off-speed and fastball.
"There's no need to worry about velo 11 months prior to next year's (Major League Baseball First-Year Player) Draft."
Bachman and Miami pitching coach Matthew Passauer have mapped out the hurler's regimen.
"He's very flexible about what I want to do," says Bachman of Passauer. "We work together and bounce ideas of each other and develop a plan."
As a RedHawks freshman for head coach Danny Hayden, Bachman was an all-Mid-American Conference first-teamer. He went 7-1 with a 3.93 earned run average. He struck out 75 batters in 75 2/3 innings and opponents hit .229 against him.
With that many innings, he was shut down for the summer collegiate season.
In 2020, the righty started four times and was 1-2 with a 3.42 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings.
"I'm usually a high-adrenaline guy, which is a little unusual for a starter," says Bachman. "It's about beating the hitter every time no matter what the situation."
That's just the way Bachman is wired. His parents — Kevin Bachman and Suzanne Bachman — divorced when Sam was young and he pushed himself athletically and academically.
"I'm very competitive and driven for sure," says Bachman. "I always have a chip on my shoulder. I'm never satisfied. Workhorse mentality."
Bachman's favorite baseball player is Pete Rose.
"My dad was always a fan," says Sam, who was born 13 years after Rose retired with 4,256 career hits. "I like his passion and how he played so hard. It reminds me of myself.
"No matter the situation, I'm giving it my all."
Bachman, who turns 21 on Sept. 30, is both a Premedical Studies co-major and Microbiology major. He plans to ride baseball as far as it will take him then comes medical school.
At HSE — playing for then-Royals head coach Scott Henson — Bachman earned two baseball letters and struck out 100 of 307 batters faced over 21 games.
Bachman appreciates Woolwine for his coaching approach.
"He had a very relaxed mood to him," says Bachman. "He was not super intense or very hands-on. He let me figure out baseball himself.
"There's not one way to play. It allowed me to develop into the player I am today."
When Bachman became more serious about the game, he played travel ball for the Indiana Nitro. The summer before college he played for Ohio's Midland Redskins, coached by Dave Evans.
Tyler Bosma, a teammate with the Prospects and Redskins, also wound up being a starting pitcher at Miami. The left-hander is from Holland, Mich.
Gabe Bachman, Sam's brother, is about to turn 18. He is planning to attend Purdue University.

Competitive juices flow on Fridays at PRP Baseball
Friday is "Compete Day" for PRP (Passion Resilience Process) Baseball.
After week of training, players get a competitive outlet in a controlled game played inside spacious Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville, Ind
PRP Baseball founder Greg Vogt, who talked with IndianaRBI about strength training for overhead athletes in November 2019, explains the culture of working hard each day and athletes pushing athletes.
"If you just show up on your high-intensity or game days, you're not going to get much better," says Vogt. "Guys are around other guys with high energy and motivation who do not skip drills, warm-ups and recovery."
During the week, there are also high school players (many of whom are in travel ball tournaments Thursday through Sunday) working out, too. There is weight training, Core Velocity Belt work to emphasis the lower half and the use of PlyoCare Balls.
Each player follows an individualized workout plan based on their Driveline Baseball profile.
"Everyone does a pre-assessment," says Vogt. "We measure strength, power and velocity and create a plan off that."
Because of COVID-19 many of the players have not been able to get on an outside diamond in a sanctioned game for months.
Many were not able to do much in the way of throwing or lifting weights for two months.
College players saw their seasons halted in mid-March. High school players heading into college lost their campaigns altogether.
Vogt says Friday's session alone had players representing the following Indiana universities: Anderson, Ball State, Butler, DePauw, Huntington, Indiana, IU Kokomo, Indiana State, Indiana Wesleyan, Purdue, Purdue Fort Wayne, Saint Francis and Taylor. Plus there were those from Akron, College of Charleston, Illinois State, Northern Kentucky and Spalding as well as junior colleges John Wood, Lincoln Trail and South Suburban.
That's just Friday's list.
Several players from College Summer League at Grand Park in nearby Westfield, Ind., train with Vogt and company at PRP Baseball.
Dominick Berardi, a right-handed pitcher at Daytona (Fla.) State College was sent to work with PRP Baseball for the summer.
"They're coming and they're asking for housing," says Vogt of his ever-growing client list from outside Indiana.
Vogt notes that three 2020 high school graduates from northwest Indiana — IU commit Tyler Nelson (Andrean), Illinois State commits Gene Kolarik (Crown Point) and Jonathan Sabotnik (Crown Point) — travel together to play in the Grand Park league and train at PRP Baseball.
Minor League Baseball has not began its 2020 season nor has the Utica, Mich.- based USPBL .It's uncertain when or if MiLB will get going. The USPBL has announced it will start with smaller rosters June 24 and expand when fans are allowed at games.
The American Association is playing with six teams (Chicago Dogs, Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, Milwaukee Milkmen, Sioux Falls Canaries and Winnipeg Goldeyes) rotating between three cities — Fargo-Moorhead in North Dakota/Minnesota, Franklin, Wis.,. and Sioux Falls, S.D.
Polley, a 23-year-old left-hander, played at Brownsburg (Ind.) High School and Indiana State University before being drafted by the Rangers in the 16th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
"It's just a really fun time to come out here and really put all the work that me and all these guys put in throughout the week to a test," says Polley. "It's really cool to be able to see the guys come out here and thrive whenever they've made adjustments.
"It's a time to relax and get after each other."
Donning a T-shirt defining culture as "A wave that inspires a community to achieve greatness" (by Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson), Polley relates to the atmosphere at PRP Baseball and Finch Creek.
"They bust your butt during the week and whenever it's time to play, it's time to play," says Polley. "We don't worry about the mechanics or the drills we're working on throughout the week. Let's see what you got and you make adjustments week to week."
Polley's focus was on having a good feel for all his pitches and moving the way they're supposed to based on Rapsodo-aided design.
Though the timetable is unknown, Polley says being prepared to return to live baseball is the key.
"I view this as an opportunity to improve my craft," says Polley. "I come off and throw and lift everyday to make myself better.
"Whenever it is time to show up, I'm going to be better than whenever I left."
Polley came down with the coronavirus in March after coming back from spring training in Arizona and was unable to throw the baseball for two weeks.
For that period, he and his girlfriend stayed away from everyone else and meals were brought to the bedroom door by Polley's parents.
With facilities shut down, he was able to train in a barn and at local parks.
"To just be a kid again was really cool," says Polley. "As a kid, you'd go to the park with your friends and practice. You'd compete and try to get better.
"That's all it has been this entire quarantine. You come back into a facility like (Finch Creek) ready to go."
Vogt has noticed an attention to detail Polley.
"If the minor league season happens, he's going to be ready to go," says Vogt.
Milto, 23, is a right-hander who played at Roncalli High School in Indianapolis and Indiana University before being selected by the White Sox in the 23rd round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
"This gives me a chance to compete and feel out my stuff," says Milto. "I get a chance to improve and see what's working and what's not working.
"This time is kind of weird, not knowing when or if we're going to go back. So I'm just here, seeing the competition and staying ready."
Milto just began coming to PRP Baseball this past week after hearing about it through friends.
"I really love all that they offer," says Milto.
While maintaining strength, Milto also makes sure he stays flexible.
"For longevity standards and being able to move well consistently for as long as possible, I think it's important so I work on by flexibility," says Milto. "Especially with my upper body. My lower body is naturally flexible.
"I'm working on by thoracic rotations and all that kind of stuff. It's helped me feel good everyday."
Milto just began adding a cutter to his pitch assortment.
"Using the cameras and the Rapsodo here is really helping me accelerate the development.
"I'm feeling it out (with the cutter). I've already thrown a slider. I'm trying to differentiate those two and make sure they look the same out of my hand but different coming to (the batter)."
Milto says he's made a switch in his take on how electronic devices can help.
"At first, I didn't buy much into the technology," says Milto. "It was all just too much to look at. As of late, I've started to pay more attention to it. I've realized the benefits of it.
"My mentality has been to just go out there, trust my stuff and compete instead of I need to get my sinker to sink this much with this axis. But I've started to understand how important that stuff. You make everyone look the same until it isn't.
"It's immediate feedback when you're training. You release it. You know how you felt. And you know exactly what it did."
Gray, 25, is a right-hander who played at Columbus (Ind.) East High School, Western Michigan University, Gulf Coast Community College and Florida Gulf Coast University before being signed as a minor league free agent by the Colorado Rockies in 2019. He was released in February 2020 and reports to the Milkmen this weekend.
"I see that they get results here," says Gray. "It's always great to push yourself and compete with others that are good at sports."
Gray, who has been working out with PRP Baseball since prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, counts down his pitching strengths.
"I compete. That's a big one," says Gray. "I throw strikes. I'm determined to get better and be the best version of myself."
When the quarantine began, Gray had no access to a weight room.
"I did a lot of body weight stuff and keep my body there," says Gray. "I was lifting random stuff. I was squatting with my fiancee on my back. I was finding a way to get it done.
"I knew at some point COVID was going to go away and baseball was going to be back and I needed to be ready."
Strobel, 25, is a left-hander who played at Avon (Ind.) High School and for the final team at Saint Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Ind. (2017) before pitching for the independent Frontier League's Joliet (Ill.) Slammers that summer. He underwent Tommy John reconstructive surgery and missed the 2018 season. He appeared in 2019 with the AA's Gary (Ind.) SouthShore RailCats. When not pitching, he's helped coach pitchers at Avon and for the Indiana Bulls 17U White travel team.
Strobel coached at Grand Park early Friday and then scooted over to Finch Creek for PRP "Compete Day."
"I try to mimic what we do here," says Strobel of his pitching coach approach. "It's mainly work hard and be safe.
"Summer ball is now acting like the high school season. It's been about getting everyone up to speed. Some guys were not throwing over the spring. They just totally shut down. You have other guys who've been throwing."
Strobel has been training with Vogt for about four years.
"I like the routine of everything," says Strobel. "Everything's mapped out. You know what you're doing weeks in advance. That's how my mind works."
And then comes the end of the week and the chance to compete.
"Everything's about Friday live," says Strobel. "Everyone has a routine getting getting for Friday."
Strobel has been told he's on the "first call" when the USPBL expands rosters.
He was "on-ramping" in February when the pandemic came along and he switched to training at the barn before coming back to Finch Creek.
"I really didn't have to shut down," says Strobel. "It's just been a long road from February and still throwing.
"I've been maintaining."
Vogt says pro pitchers Jacob Cantleberry (Center Grove High School graduate and former University of Missouri left-hander in the Los Angeles Dodgers system), Timmy Herrin (Terre Haute South Vigo High School graduate and former IU left-hander in the Cleveland Indians system) and Will Klein (Bloomington North High School graduate and former Eastern Illinois University right-hander drafted in the fifth round in 2020 by the Kansas City Royals) are expected to be a part of the PRP Baseball culture soon.
Christian Sullivan, a 2014 graduate of Lake Central High School in St. John, Ind., and four-year right-handed pitcher at Franklin (Ind.) College (2015-18), has joined the PRP Baseball staff as a strength coordinator/jack-of-all-trades.
"I help out in any way that I can," says Sullivan, who reached out to Vogt in the spring of 2019, interned last summer and then came on board full-time. "We mesh well together because we believe in a lot of the same sort of fundamentals when it comes to pitching and developing a pitcher.
"It helps to have an extra set of eyes and that's where I come into play. I dealt with a lot of mechanical issues myself and my cousin help me out. That sparked me to want to do the same for other players."
Sullivan is pursuing his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).
"Once I have that, it opens up a lot more doors and opportunities for me in the baseball world," says Sullivan. "Baseball has had a funny route to where it is today. When I grew up a lot of times you threw hard because you were blessed and had the talent.
"Now, it's been proven that you can make improvements — whether it be in the weight room, overall health or mechanical adjustments in your throwing patterns — and can train velocity.
"A lot of people are trying to find a balance of developing the mechanical side of things while strengthening things in the weight room. They kind of go hand-in-hand. You can't have one without the other."
Sullivan says that if the body can't support the force that's being generated through it, it's going to lead to a faster breakdown.
"That's where the weight room comes into play," says Sullivan. "Being able to transfer force is kind of the name of the game right now."

Brebeuf, Butler graduate Haddad applying talent with Yankees
Radley Haddad has built a skill set that he uses to help the New York Yankees as a coaching assistant and bullpen coach.
Haddad is educated on everything from pitch design to game planning. He sits in on hitter's meetings. He speaks the language of analytics and translates it into terms that players can understand.
Once a game starts, he's in the bullpen to assist pitchers in geting ready.
The Yankees have newcomers for 2020 at pitching coach (Matt Blake) and catching coach (Tanner Swanson).
Haddad has been in the organization since 2013. He was signed by the Yankees as a non-drafted free agent and was a catcher is the system until 2016, when he served as a player-coach at Staten Island in preparation for a minor league coaching assignment.
But an opportunity came with the major league club and Haddad has been on the Bronx Bombers staff since 2017. He can use his knowledge to help Blake and Swanson with their transition.
"Where those guys will want or need help, I'm there to fill in the gaps," says Haddad, a graduate of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory High School (2008) and Butler University (2013) — both in Indianapolis. "A lot of my time will probably be spent on game planning."
Radley and wife Arielle, a Franklin, Ind., native who he met at Butler, moved from Manhattan to New Jersey in January. It's a 20-minute drive to Yankee Stadium.
Being close year-round has made it easy for Haddad to get to know the ins and outs of the team's analytics department.
Hadded earned a Finance degree at Butler. His familiarity with regressions, progressions and algorithms allows him to work with weight averages and other analytic concepts.
"You need to have some experience in some upper level math," says Haddad. "You don't have to be a genius. It's math and it's computers and being able to write codes.
"(Players) are very open to what we're trying to do. Kids coming from college programs are more up with technology and buzzwords and they understand the value. We're all trying to accomplish the same thing. Sometimes you just have to use different verbiage."
Haddad notes that 29-year-old right-hander Gerrit Cole, who signed as a free agent in December 2019 and likely would have been tabbed by manager Aaron Boone as the Yankees' Opening Day starter had the 2020 season started on time, has embraced analytics during his career.
"He's really smart guy and cares about his career," says Haddad. "He applied what they gave him in Houston. He used the information presented to him.
"We're trying to parlay off of that and make him just a tick better."
With Haddad being close by, he's also been able to catch area residents Coleand righty reliever Adam Ottavino during the current COVID-19-related shutdown. Some of those sessions happened in back yards. The Stadium was just recently made available.
Players and staff are literally spread across the globe and have stayed in-touch through group texts and Zoom calls. Sharing of Google Docs has allowed coaches and other pitchers to keep up with their progress.
Yankees bullpen coach Mike Harkey makes sure they have what they need, including a catcher, so they can stay on track and be ready.
Haddad likes the way Gerrit puts it: "I will keep the pilot light on so I can fire it up."
As of this writing, Gerrit is in a starting rotation mix that also features Masahiro Tanaka, J.A. Happ, Jordan Montgomery, Jonathan Loaisiga, James Paxton and Domingo German.
Fireballer Aroldis Chapman is the Yankees closer. Besides Ottavino and Chapman, the bullpen includes Zack Britton, Luis Cessa, Chad Green, Jonathan Holder, Tommy Kahnle and Tyler Lyons.
Haddad moved with his family to Carmel, Ind., at 10. He played travel baseball with the Carmel Pups. They were in need of a catcher so Radley put on the gear and fell in love with the position.
"I loved everything about it," says Haddad, who was primarily a catcher at Brebeuf, two seasons at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C. (2009 and 2010), and two at Butler (2012 and 2013). "I liked the mental side, being involved in every pitching and calling games. I liked working with all the pitchers and seeing how guys can manipulate the ball."
John Zangrilli was a frequent spectator at Carmel Pups games and is now Greyhounds pitching coach on a staff led by Matt Buczkowski.
Zangrilli was head coach at Brebeuf when Haddad was there and had a major impact.
"He was the most beneficial person in my baseball career," says Haddad of Zangrilli. "He taught me about being a real baseball player and taking care of business.
"That meant doing things the right way, paying attention to details."
It was also the way you treat people. It was more than baseball, it was life skills.
Zangrilli was at Radley and Arielle's wedding in 2018.
Haddad earned honorable mention all-state honors at Brebeuf. He helped the Braves to an IHSAA Class 3A No. 1 ranking and a Brebeuf Sectional title while hitting .494 with 38 runs scored as a senior.
Playing time at Western Carolina was limited and Haddad decided to go to Butler, where he started 89 games in his two seasons.
NCAA rules at the time required players transferring between Division I school to sit out a transfer season. That's what Haddad did when he went to Butler, where Steve Farley was Bulldogs head coach.
"Steve was a great guy," says Haddad. "He welcomed me. He didn't have any stigma about who I was and why I was leaving a school. He knew I wanted to get on a field.
"He's a good man who taught people how to live the right way."
Though he doesn't get back to Indiana often, Haddad stays connected to central Indiana baseball men Zangrilli, Farley, Chris Estep, Jay Lehr and Greg Vogt.
During his high school years, Haddad played travel baseball for the Indiana Mustangs which operate out of Estep's RoundTripper Sports Academy in Westfield.
Lehr is a long-time baseball instructor based in Hamilton County.
Vogt, a former Carmel Pups teammate of Haddad, runs PRP (Passion Resilience Process) Baseball out of Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville.
"We played together or against each other our whole lives," says Haddad of Vogt. "He's done a great job of building a program he believes in."
Bob Haddad Jr., Radley's father, is Chief Operating Officer at Harrison Lake Country Club in Columbus. Radley's mother, Lauren Schuh, is remarried.
Radley (30) has two younger brothers — Griffin Haddad (28) and Ian Schuh (20).
Grffin is an assistant athletic trainer for the Green Bay Packers. He went to Brebeuf for four years, earned his undergraduate degree at Texas Christian University and his master's at the University of Michigan.
Ian spent one year at Brebeuf and finished high school at Carmel. He is at South Dakota State University with his sights on being a conservation officer.
Haddad was featured on the Robertson Training Systems podcast in January.

Indiana Nitro's Reboulet helps get players ready for college baseball
Getting players ready for the next stage in their baseball careers is what it's all about for Jim Reboulet and son Travis as they coach the Indiana Nitro 18U Gold travel team.
"These kids who are going to be playing college baseball, we get them acclimated by showing them what they can expect," says Jim Reboulet, who is based in Hamilton County. "We run our run our program the way a college would."
As a result, three quarters of Nitro players went right into the lineup as collegiate freshmen.
"We show what it's going to take to compete, what it's going to take athletically from a development standpoint," says the elder Reboulet. "We work on their weaknesses."
Consulting with their college coaches, the Reboulets may be asked to put players in their future roles. A starting pitcher might be asked to go to the bullpen or vice versa. Infielders are encouraged to play all four positions, making their playing chances that much better.
Catchers and pitchers are taught how to call a game by studying hitters.
The catcher just doesn't put down signs without a reason.
When future major league catcher Kevin Plawecki was 16, he played for Reboulet in the summer and was tutored on the art of game calling. Based on observation, he figured out when to pitch the hitter up and in, change his eye level and exploit his weaknesses.
That made Plawecki valuable when he went to Purdue University.
"(Then-Boilermakers head coach) Doug Schreiber took pitch calling away from the pitching coach and gave it to Kevin," says Reboulet. "Kevin is known for calling a good game at the professional level."
Reboulet wants their to be a rationale for his pitchers to throw a certain pitch and for the catcher to call for it.
"Try not to do a pattern," says Reboulet. "Create a strategy of throwing to a particular hitter based on what he's showing you. That's advanced scouting.
"You're not get away from throwing it down the middle and overpower people (in college). You've got to learn how to pitch."
On the other side of the coin, Reboulet wants hitters to figure out what pitchers are trying to do to get them out.
"Some kids had no idea of a breaking ball count," says Reboulet. "You look fastball, but don't be surprised when a breaking ball comes.
"We teach them the patterns the pitchers use and to pay attention to what the pitcher's doing in certain situations and certain counts. They are creatures of habit."
There's also getting ready mentally to play more games at a higher level of competition and intensity.
"We put them in those types of situations where that's going to happen," says Reboulet.
With a roster consisting mostly of central Indiana players, Nitro 18U Gold has begun conducting social distancing practices and games will start the last week in June. Most games will be played in the area run by either Pastime Tournaments or Bullpen Tournaments.
The middle of Jim and Tina Reboulet's three sons, Travis Reboulet is the Nitro 18U Gold head coach. Travis played at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers, Ind., Vincennes (Ind.) University, Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne and the independent pro Joliet (Ill.) Slammers.
Older brother Tyler Reboulet played college baseball at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie and Mars Hill (N.C.) University. Younger brother Tanner Reboulet took the field for USC Salkehatchie.
Before college, the Reboulet boys played travel baseball for their father on a squad known as the Indiana Dirtbags.
Travis and Tanner give private lessons. Jim runs six-week infield classes for ages 8 through college — often for friends Jason Taulman or Wes Whisler and recently at Finch Creek Fieldhouse in Noblesville.
As a Nitro 18U Gold assistant, Jim Reboulet brings decades of diamond experience.
Born in Dayton, Ohio, he graduated from Archbishop Alter High School in Kettering in 1979 and went to Triton College in River Grove, Ill. (1980 and 1981) and then Southern Illinois University (1982 and 1983).
Triton, coached by Bob Symonds, went to the National Junior College Athletic Association World Series in Grand Junction, Colo., Jim's freshmen year. Triton third baseman Mike Rizzo went on to become general manager and president of operations for the 2019 World Series-winning Washington Nationals.
Kirby Puckett was at Triton between the Reboulet brothers — after Jim and before Jeff.
Symonds was a Southern Illinois graduate assistant when he began recruiting Reboulet at a Salukis camp.
When Reboulet made it to SIU, he played for Hall of Fame coach Richard "Itchy" Jones.
"A lot of the stuff I teach the kids today I learned from Itch," says Reboulet. "He's a fundamentalist. He would break you down.
As a middle infielder, Reboulet would work on the details of how to turn a double play, footwork, hand position and how to attack the ball on a backhand.
Reboulet was one of many on those teams to play pro ball.
Jim Reboulet, 58, enjoyed a minor league baseball career that saw him steal 290 bases in six years and play at the Triple-A level for both the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates.
The 20th-round selection of the Cardinals in the 1983 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft swiped 71 bags at High Class-A St. Petersburg in 1986, 62 at Low-A Savannah in 1984 and 52 at Double-A Harrisburg in 1987.
The righty-swinger enjoyed a 32-game hit streak for Harrisburg in 1987. In spring training, he turned double plays with Cardinals shortstop Ozzie Smith and batted just behind then-Pirates lead-off man Barry Bonds.
Reboulet's first pro manager was Rich Hacker in 1983. The last was Rocky Bridges at Triple-A Buffalo in 1988. In between, he was with teams skippered by Joe Rigoli, Dave Bialas, Lloyd Merritt, Gaylen Pitts, Mike Jorgensen, Dave Trembley and Jim Riggleman. He's received instruction from Jim Fregosi.
All the while, fundamentals were key.
"George Kissell (field coordinator in the Cardinals organization) taught the same things as Itch Jones," says Reboulet. "My brother and I had reputations of being fundamentally sound when we played."
Jeff Reboulet, two years younger than Jim, also went to Alter and Triton before LSU and, eventually, a 12-year career as big league middle infielder, playing for the Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates from 1992-2003. The Twins drafted him in the 10th round in 1986.
He is now living in Dayton and is a financial planners for pro baseball players and is in charge of the Major League Baseball Players Association rookie development program.
All three of Jeff Reboulet's son played college ball — Jason at Vincennes U. and USC Salkahatchie, Zack at the University of New Orleans, USC Salkehatchie and Indiana University Southeast and Lucas at Heartland Community College in Normal, Ill.
Having moved to Fishers, Ind., to take a sales job three decades ago, Jim Reboulet is now a senior account executive for Logicalis, Inc., in Indianapolis.
Jim Reboulet is an assistant coach for the Indiana Nitro 18U Gold travel team with son Travis Reboulet. Jim played at Triton College, Southern Illinois University and six years in pro baseball. Brother Jeff Reboulet played in the majors. Both Reboulet brothers have six boys and all played college baseball.

The opening of an exciting new exhibition of 50 James Bond vehicles, which will be unveiled to the public on 17th January 2012, is now less than a month away. The exhibition, the largest of its kind staged anywhere in the world, will showcase 50 of the best loved and most iconic James Bond vehicles in celebration of the 50th year of James Bond films. Bond in Motion will run from January to December 2012 at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
Among the vehicles now arriving for the exhibition are a number that have never before been seen in public. These include the Ford Mustang Mach 1 from Diamonds Are Forever, villain Zukovsky's Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II from The World Is Not Enough and the vintage 1962 Rolls-Royce, pushed into a lake by May Day and Zorin with Bond still inside, in A View to a Kill.
Other exhibits on public view for the first time include the 'Burial-At-Sea Bed' from You Only Live Twice, the Union Jack Parachute which villain Gustav Graves used when he landed on The Mall and the Surfboard with concealed weapons and ammunition, from Die Another Day. Also on display will be the Casino Royale Skyfleet S570 model, based on a Boeing 747, and original 'Pig' from The Living Daylights, used to smuggle Koskov across the border through the Siberian Pipe Line.
2012 also marks the 40th anniversary of Beaulieu's world-famous National Motor Museum, a fitting year to be hosting a major new car exhibition with some of the most recognised vehicles from the Bond films.
Bond in Motion: 50 vehicles. 50 years.

Q: What is the efficient data structure for the finding the minimum and maximum within a (sorted) associated range? example:
range - 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10
values- 81 21 55 23 45 78 98 69 42 10 33

If Data Structure is Array, then the time complexity is O(n) where n is the difference between the querying range.
Can Trees provide O(log n)? or Is there any better data structure to model this?
Some of the Characteristics of the data.

*

*Continuous range values without missing data

*Can have negative values. So the querying can also be -10 to 10

*Space complexity is can be ignored if better time complexity can be achieved

Thanks

A: Segment Trees are the ones that you want to use. Although it takes about 4*n (when using a fully binary tree) nodes to construct the segment tree, it is more efficient for querying. A query in a range will be of the order of log(n) or the height of the tree. Learn more about segment trees here.

PG&E took 90 minutes to shut off gas in Cupertino
CUPERTINO, Calif.
"They had to dig down three separate holes, about three foot by four foot, three to four feet deep, two of them through asphalt driveways, basically had to dig down through a street," Santa Clara County Fire Batt. Chief Kendall Pearson said.
Pearson praises crews for working fast in a challenging environment, but there are questions about whether a different system is needed -- one that provides for an easy access shut off valve.
"We have to find out what is the most efficient way to systematically make changes and restructuring so that residents and neighbors of Cupertino has peace of mind," Cupertino Mayor Gilbert Wong said.
A PG&E reprehensive made an appearance at the Cupertino City Council meeting Tuesday night to update the city on pipeline safety efforts. PG&E says there are 1,200 miles statewide of Aldyl-a plastic pipe, which is prone to cracking. There were six additional leaks at that condo complex.
"I can't tell you exactly the number of miles or number of T's in the city of Cupertino," PG&E Director of Gas Operations Jodie Kubota said.
There was activity Wednesday at the epicenter of the explosion. The woman living in the townhome gutted by fire is having her belongings packed up and PG&E is paying for her to live elsewhere. She was not home at the time of the explosion.
Cupertino's mayor says so far the utility has been responsive to their concerns.
"So it looks like that PG&E is stepping forward to be proactive in this post-San Bruno situation," Wong said.
PG&E has committed to replacing 12,000 feet of the problematic plastic pipe in and around the complex where the fire occurred and the utility plans to meet with homeowners association, perhaps as early as next week.

Queen Elizabeth II says it's time to take a 'deep breath'
Published: Dec. 27, 2016 at 10:12 a.m. ET
Queen Elizabeth II in an April photo.
In her annual Christmas Day message to Britain, Queen Elizabeth II advised the country take a "deep breath" when trying to face the world's problems.
The 90-year-old queen, who missed the traditional Christmas church service near her Sandringham estate due to her "heavy cold," used the message to praise those who had offered inspiration through the year. She included medalists from this year's Paralympic and Olympic Games in Rio and even those who work with her grandson Prince William, a helicopter pilot in the East Anglican Air Ambulance service.
But in the prerecorded message she said it's not necessary to win medals or save lives to be brave, calling out countless charities that worked throughout the year and ordinary people who perform neighborly deeds. (Listen to the whole message here.)

Britain also faces global problems, she acknowledged.
"'When people face a challenge they sometimes talk about taking a deep breath to find courage or strength. In fact, the word 'inspire' literally means 'to breathe in.' "
— Queen Elizabeth II
She added that it's "understandable" that Britain sometimes thinks the world's problems are so immense that one country can't really help. However, the "cumulative impact of thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine," she said.

So far in this book, you have seen the power of ColdFusion in producing sophisticated Web-based applications that can draw on multiple sources of data, including relational databases, e-mail, Web and FrP servers, and local files on the ColdFusion server. However, in all cases, these Web applications and ColdFusion templates have required that a user with a Web browser explicitly request a template file from the server for it to be executed.
The dates and times for execution of the event.
The URL of the ColdFusion template to be executed.
A name for the task so that it can be referred to later.
You can specify this information when creating an event by using the ColdFusion.
Administrator or the CFSCHEDULE tag. You will look at each in turn.
To schedule an event with the Cold Fusion Administrator, open the Coldfusion Administrator and select the Scheduled Tasks page. This page should look like the one.
The Scheduled Tasks page provides a simple form that can be used to start the process of scheduling an event followed by a list of scheduled events; if there are any. To create a new scheduled event, start by assigning a name to the event in the Task Name field, and clicking the AddNew Task button. This should bring up the Add Scheduler Task page, like the one.
• The dates during which the event should be executed. This is specified in the Duration section with a start and end date. The start date is required but the end date is optional. Without an end date, the event will execute based on the additional rules specified.
Recurring By specifying Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, the €'1 nt will first execute at the specified time on the start date and then at the same time on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis until the end date, if specified, is.reached.
Dally Every X Minutes This option enables an event to be scheduled to run at a set interval in minutes between a start time, and end time and to do this every day between the start date and the end date, if specified.
The second section of the new page . Here you specify the URL to execute at-the we specified in the preceding section, and how to execute it.
URL The full URL of-the page to execute at the specified times. At a minimum, this field needs to be filled out in this section.
Username If the specified URL requires a usemame and password to access it, provide the usemame here.
Password If the specified URL requires a usemame and password to access it, provide the password here.
Request Timeout Specifies the number of seconds to wait for a page to execute before assuming the connection has failed. The default is 30 seconds, but if you are requesting a page from a busy server or across a poor network connection, you may want to increase this value to the equivalent of several minutes (such as 200 seconds).
Proxy Server If your ColdFusion server sits behind a corporate firewall, but the URL you are specifying is on a server outside the firewall, then you need to provide the URL for your' corporate proxy server (including the host name and port number in the format proxy. host. name:port) in this field.
In the final section of the new task page, you can specify that the output generated by a scheduled page should be saved to a file.
Improving performance If you have pages that are generated from large query result sets, especially against a slow-changing database, it will probably be more efficient to generate static versions of pages on a regular basis, such as daily, rather than letting queries run every time a user requests one of the pages.
Logging of activity If you output the results of scheduled jobs to static files, you can keep a directory of results of all your scheduled jobs, which can be viewed from a single location by using a Web browser.
Four fields are available when specifying the output file for a scheduled,task. The first field, labeled Publish, is a check box. When checked, it indicates that the output should be saved to a file, based on the settings in the three other fields.
Path Specifies the direetory it., which the output file should be saved. This can be specified as an absolute path, the local system where the ColdFusion server is running (such as c:\data\ 1095«'\ a Windows system) or as a network accessible directory (\ \nostname\sharenaITle'Olll a Windows network).
File Specifies the filename that the output should be saved to. Combined with the path, this fully identifies the name and location where the output will be saved. ResolveURL "Indicates, when selected, that any relative URLs in the output should be converted to absolute URLs so that there will be np broken links in the output. This option is especially 'useful when you are generating static content from scheduled dynamic pages that sit on a different server or in a difierent directory than the resulting static output files.
After a task has been fully specified, you can add it by clicking the Create button at the bottom of the page. Next to the Create button is the Cancel button, which causes ColdFusion to discard the information in the form and return to the Scheduled Tasks page.


The Yakima fold belt comprises fault-related folds deforming Miocene basalts and younger deposits of the Columbia Plateau in central Washington State. Geodesy implies ~2 mm/yr of modern, NNE-directed regional shortening; however the distribution of Quaternary deformation among individual structures remains unclear. South of Ellensburg, Washington, the Yakima River cuts a ~600-m deep canyon across several of the folds, preserving flights of strath terraces that record the progressive incision. Graded alluvial basins at the head and mouth of the canyon imply that terrace incision also records differential rock uplift. We integrate lidar analysis, field observations, and cosmogenic burial dating of eight strath terraces in the canyon to quantify Quaternary incision across two folds, Manastash Ridge and Umtanum Ridge.
Isochron burial ages from in-situ 26Al and 10Be characterize four terrace-forming intervals at ≤0.5 Ma, 0.7 -1.3 Ma, 1.5-1.7 Ma, and 2.8-3.0 Ma. Along with the burial ages, we use lidar-derived strath heights to calculate time-averaged bedrock incision rates of ~10-3 mm/yr through synclinal lows, and ~10-2 within the Manastash and Umtanum Ridge anticlines (~0.07 mm/yr from 0.2-0.4 Ma and ~0.04 mm/yr from 1.5-1.7 Ma, respectively). Collectively, the results demonstrate Quaternary differential bedrock incision and uplift of the Manastash and Umtanum Ridge anticlines. Incision rates permit horizontal shortening at ~0.08-0.12 mm/yr across master faults (dip 30±10° S) beneath the folds, indicating that other compressional structures in the region likely take up the remaining ~1-2 mm/yr of modern regional geodetic shortening.

Prince Henry's dissatisfaction … The desire to serve the queen does not come true
Henry British prince to retire the official business in prospect this spring [35] is 19 days, speech in London, it said it did not beat the "Queen and the British Commonwealth, wanted to continue to serve in the army", different from the ideal image He expressed dissatisfaction as saying that he was "leaving" the royal family in form. "There was no other choice," he said.
This is the first time the prince has publicly described his retirement since announcing his move away from the royal family on August 8.
Queen Elizabeth [93] has just accepted his grandchildren's resolve on Wednesday and has expressed his willingness to watch. The prince's early dissatisfaction with the royal decision is likely to be criticized.
He spoke at a charity-sponsored dinner at a charity he supported, recalling that when he married his wife, Princess Meghan [38], in 2018, "we were full of hope and willing to serve [as royals]." He wanted a more peaceful life and wanted to keep some duties on behalf of the queen without receiving public money, but he retired and was disappointed that he felt "great sadness." .
The princes are expected to spend a lot of time in North America, including Canada, where Meghan once lived, but the prince stressed that "UK is my hometown and my favorite place." . After her mother, Princess Diana, passed away, she thanked the people who watched and supported herself, and said she was eager to jump into a new life, "believing it was okay." [Joint]

Those who are not subscribers can gain access to a free three-month trial of Apple Music.
Apple Music is tapping China's short video app Douyin, one of the most popular Chinese apps of all sorts, to boost its subscriber base in China.
In addition to its domestic reception, Douyin is also the most downloaded iOS app in the first quarter of 2018 per analytics service Sensor Tower.
According to the partnership arrangement between Douyin and Apple, mainland China Douyin users who already subscribed to Apple Music, can now access to the latter's full music library directly from the Douyin app; and for those who are not yet subscribers, Douyin and Apple Music will offer a 3 months free trial, the similar kind you can get from the Apple Music app per se.
Douyin is the first Chinese short video app to join the Apple Music partnership programme.
Douyin's global app Tik Tok, which operates outside of China, has already been working with Apple to feature the 'top hits' and 'trending' songs that users often incorporate into their videos, which can be highly beneficial for artists looking to ride on the next 'viral' wave.
According to Shanghai Daily on August 10, Douyin has inked partnerships with a number of music publishers, such as Universal Music, Warner Music and Taihe Music, to add more than 10 million licensed songs into its music library. This is in a bid to combat pirated content, which can include music and animation.
– The partnership appears more to be a marketing campaign for Apple Music to help the streaming service on board more Chinese users, who are more willing to pay for music services now.
– Apple Music has over 50 million users worldwide, yet its compeitor Spotify has more than 170 million users and north of 75 million paid users.
– Tencent Music is currently the largest music streaming service in China, however, Tencent has been seeing Douyin and Toutiao as a huge threat to its dominating position in social media, the two companies have went through rounds of execs spats before.

Aim: To evaluate the association among hepatic fibrosis, serum iron indices, and hepatic iron stores in patients with Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC). Methods: Thirty-two CHC patients were included in our study. The histological degree of fibrosis and inflammation activity was assessed according to the Metavir system. The serum iron indices including ferritin, iron and transferrin saturation were measured. Hepatic iron deposition was graded by Perls' stain. Results: The CHC patients with severe hepatic fibrosis (n = 16) were significantly older than CHC patients with mild fibrosis (n = 16) (P = 0.024). The serum iron indices, increased serum iron store and positive hepatic iron stain were not significantly different between the two groups. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the age at biopsy was an independent predictor of severe hepatic fibrosis (Odds ratio = 1.312; P = 0.035). The positive hepatic iron stain was significantly associated with the values of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (P = 0.017), ferritin (P = 0.008), serum iron (P = 0.019) and transferrin saturation (P = 0.003). The ferritin level showed significant correlation with the value of ALT (r = 0.531; P = 0.003), iron (r = 0.467; P = 0.011) and transferrin saturation (r = 0.556; P = 0.002). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the severity of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver injury is associated with patient age at biopsy. Both serum iron indices and hepatic iron deposition show correlation with serum indices of chronic liver disease but are not related to grade and stage of liver histology.

Our goal is to assist people through the unforeseen hardships of life and to get them back on their feet. Things like sudden injury, illness, loss of employment, divorce, or even the loss of a vehicle can drastically affect a family's financial situation. MCUM's coaches provide clients with stabilizing case-management to discuss their needs and circumstances, working with each client to help him/her create a Game Plan for the household to rebuild their self-sufficiency.
In the meantime, MCUM provides basic needs assistance any way we can. Our biggest request for assistance is for food from MCUM's food pantry, which is one of the largest in Monroe County. Our pantry is client-choice and functions primarily based on what donated items we have available for distribution. This year, we are on track to provide more than double what we did last year. To do so will require an additional 40,000 pounds of food.
YOU can help those in need by putting on your own food drive – a.k.a. a Food Drive in a Box – intended to be something you can adapt to meet the goals of your group while raising food for MCUM. With Food Drive in a Box, you can help MCUM collect items that go directly to the hungry… anytime, anywhere, and in any format.
Check back each month for the most up-to-date list.
This weeks deals at the grocery that would be good donations to our pantry.
