From the Field: Gideon Antle, of, North Greenville University Trailblazers
From the Field: Gideon Antle, of, North Greenville University Trailblazers … Another player on my shortlist to get on Thursday night was North Greenville’s outfielder Gideon Antle.

When you think about the best pitchers of the 90’s, you think of Greg Maddux, Rogers Clemens, Randy Johnson, and Pedro Martinez, to name a few. But you know who else was really good? Jamie Moyer. When it comes to total WAR (Wins Above Replacement), he ranks 9th during that[…]
From the Field: Caleb Lomavita, c, Washington Nationals
From the Field: Caleb Lomavita, c, Washington Nationals This is an exciting one! In 2001, catcher Caleb Lomavita was the best prospect in Hawaii. Of course, back then I was not paying as close as attention as I am not to prep baseball in the islands, so I didn’t get[…]
From the Field: Socrates Brito, of, Kia Tigers
Former Arizona Diamondbacks’ top prospect outfielder Sócrates Brito is an interesting player.

His bat has caught the attention of major league teams, and there is[…]
