Kaden’s killing it on and off the mound his freshman year.

Happy Birthday, Alex!

Alex will start the season with a promotion to the AAA Memphis Redbirds. As the first pitcher in line on the reserve roster, he should get his first opportunity sooner than later.

Much harder one man job than I anticipated. Getting the gate level on a grade required too much brain power, but I’m happy how it turned out. Buy lumber stocks, because this stuff is hard to find.
