The whistle blew again. Grey was over by the fielding group with Bill Grant.
"Hey, Coach you have a great eye for fielding these guys are good." he said
"Who is standing out?" Grey questioned
"This SS, Keaton O'Brian, really good range, while not as good as you had."
"Range is good but what about reaction time and hand eye coordination? O"Brian come here."
An athletic looking player comes out of the 5 man crowd.
"Hi, Coach." he said without looking Grey in the eyes.
"Hello, I have a drill for you."
Grey took a couple sharpies and marked some balls, and tossed them to Grant. Grant nodded.
"O'Brian, Grant here will toss you some balls you must catch them while saying the color surrounding the number and the number. Ready?"
Keaton nodded and Grey blew the whistle.
Grant tossed the first one at Keaton.
"Green 3." Smack the ball hit his glove.
"Good, again"
"Orange, uh." SMACK the ball hit the top of Keaton's glove and flew away.

"No, coach." he responded
"Wanna try?" Grey asked
Simpson nodded.
"Alright, he may not look it but Coach Grant was pretty fast in his day over like 100 years ago think you can beat him to the bag?"
Simpson nodded again. Grant laughed a little.
"O'Brian over here we need your help, double play and Simpson I wont be going easy on you." called Grant.
Grey blew his whistle, Keaton grabbed the high bouncer, flip it to Simpson.
"SAFE!"

"Yea, this guy can almost do it all in the field."

Right Now these are the Fielding prospects or in other terms the players who are the best fielders. You can answer tonight but you won't get the results till tomorrow, I will do the hitting then the pitching. Hope you like.


PS. Please if you can include personalties I don't want to make them up for your characters, because 9 times out of ten you will end up hating your character.

PSS-I will have a secret stat that I calculate called coach points I will appoint a captain and assistant captain based on the points. So you have an extra incentive to be nice to Coach Allen Grey!

A: "Sorry Coach can you give me some tips and show me the best way?"

Franks personality: shy, willing to learn, friendly, quiet, funny

Grey walked over to the batting cages, Ted Ganthier the hitting coach was there.
"Hows it going Ted."
"Lot of good contact, but most can't hit it where they ain't if you know what I mean, of course you do the .573 BA wasn't for nothing hah?"
"You don't need to patronize me Ted, you were always the better technical hitter growing up."
"Yeah I don't even know what to call your stance, anyway this kid right here, Buddy George has a real passion for the game."
"I like that in a hitter, not afraid of a pitcher or his pitch."
"Hey George, over here."
"Hello, Coach. what else do you want me to do?"
"George I want you to get in the box."
"What side, I'm a switchy"
"What's your more comfortable side."
"I feel more comfortable righty."
"Then go lefty."
"All right!"

"Ted, fire it up 102 mph."
"What 102? Your gonna hurt the kid he has no idea!."
"I know, trust me."
Whistle. SMACK. The ball hit the back of the batting cage and George ended up on the ground.
"Whoa."' exclaimed George
"Get ready next time its coming inside."
George nodded
"Allen your gonna hurt the kid, I'm telling you."
"Don't worry about it Ted."

"If you are such a Zulu fan why aren't you trying out for them."
"I don't know I guess I didn't make much of an impact." said Wood
"No, thats not it your old, senior right 22, the Zulu only offer tryouts to 18 year olds and younger, I was once on the Zulus." said hitting coach Ted.
"What's the commotion Ted?" asked Grey
"Nothing Coach, this kid is just a fan of the Stingers."

"Who was that?"
"What Allen."
"Who hit the huge bomb?"
"It was one of those two they been blasting them all day."
"Hmm, let's meet them."
"Hey Joe and Baker over here."
Two tall guys walked over.
"Hi coach I'm Tobias Baker." said a cherry one.
"Hello and you?"
"...Joseph Jorgensen."
"Allen he's trying to intimidate YOU."
"I know Ted, you two are power hitters correct. Let's see how bout a home run derby, winner skips running practice.'
Jorgensen eyes lit up, while Tobias didn't change.
"Alright let's go" said Tobias
"Alright we will start at 50 mph and go up by 10 mph every two okay?"

PONG. PING. PINGGGGGGG.
"Alright guys this is 100mph." said Ted
"There both 8 for 10, these two will be crucial." said Grey

"Not so good Coach, we only have a couple trying out and only have got the stuff."
"Did a pitcher named Max Lundgren show up?"
"Nope only the 6 here."
"But Jim there is 7 guys here."
"Yeah that guy over there the Japanese one, he doesn't speak very well English so he came here by mistake, but by god he's a great pitchers catcher he understands the game and picks great pitches."
"Oh good find Jim, let's test him out."
Grey and Jim walk over to Otaku Kamura
"Umm Hi.
Otaku just stares back at Grey.
"This isn't getting us anywhere how did you get him to practice, Jim?" asked Grey
"With signs." Jim then displayed crazy gestures and Otaku just nodded.
"Alright tell him in signs that I want him to pick the best pitches for the situation."
"Okay." Jim then got Otaku to practice

"Hey Coach over here."
"What is it Jim?" asked Grey
"This is the best pitcher of the day Ryan Techer."
"Oh, hey Tech over here." called Grey
"Hello Coach Techer is fine, mate"
"ah so your Australia."
"Is there a problem, mate."
"No not a one, if you can say 'Your dingoes at my baby'"
"Not a chance Coach." he said and all three laughed.
"Well Ryan what do you think is your best attribute."
"My control."
"What are you pitches?"
"Knuckle, curve, 4 seamer and 2 seamer."
"Alright, Jim get the pitching tree ready."
"The what sir?"
"You'll see."
Jim set up the pitching tree which was a pole that held plates with a red circle in them.
"These plates will move around and you will get points if you hit the plate and more points if you get into the red circles. Chose the right pitch and it should be easy chose the wrong and it could miss completely. Technically you need 40 points to pass, btu since your not really competing for some specific let's just see how far you get."
And so the game began and Techer had 85.
"You almost broke the record 10 more points, if you get a bullseye you get the record." said Jim
"Alright mate."

the panel shoots out and Techer couldn't judge its movement he will have to guess
Decision TIME for DnK

B. 2-seamer is easy to control, it has some move
C. 4-seamer I can't judge the movements so straight is the way to go
D. Curve Ball It has the biggest break maybe it will hit something?
E. I didn't get its movement, no way I can hit it.

"It almost the end of the day, hey Jim did Lundgren show up?"
"No Coach no one has seen him." said Jim
"Hey Coach what do you want me to do." said a voice
Grey turned around to see the very person he was looking for...
"Max your late."
"So, I'm here what more can you ask for."
"Get out."
"What!?"
"If you don't have the respect to be here on time then you don't deserve to be here."
"FINE I never wanted to come I was doing YOU a favor."
Max stormed off the field and out the building.
"Coach do you think that was wise in front of the other players, and from what you told me he is a good pitcher which we need."
"It gave the players something to think about Jim, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen, and plus I know him he WILL be back mark my words."



At the end(Not yet) of the day Allen was walking out.
"Mr Grey it looked like it had gone well, I also liked you speech at the beginning very inspirational and meaningful." Mr Pilfery's eyes glinted on the last word
Allen shook it off.
"Thank you Mr Pilfery, It indeed went well, but we still have tomorrow and Thursday."
"Yes your right Mr Grey do you mind if I make an appearance on Thursday."
"Oh yeah go right on ahead." Allen was bewildered that Mr Pilfery asked his permission
"See you tomorrow Mr Grey."
"Yes you too."
Allen afraid of driving in cars walked home and went to bed at 5 pm which was very early for his standards.

A. Swing for the fences, and beyond.

I guess I'll go with B

P.S. It's O'Bryan. With a Y!

C. Backdoor Curve

B.

B

Zeke was not highly scouted out of college. Scouts said he would never be more than a DH, if he was lucky. So he decided to come to summer league to round up his fielding.

D. Throw Home

Personality Bio: Thomas was cocky in high school like most up and coming athletes, but when he got married he changed his ways and became a much more sympathtic person. He is exrtemly competitve and has an instint to hero on the field, but not at the plate. He is an easy-going guy though and is very loyal to his friends.

I'll put this on "T-Val's" main page too.

I believe the answer is, E, contact swing, final answer, Meredith

Buddy is a talkative, conservative player, not very cocky, but he sometimes can be, only to people he knows well. People like him because he is easy to talk to.
