Baseball’s All-Hawk Team

Travis Walker was a four year starter for the Hawks

The ReSporter had requests of having an All-Star Baseball team to mirror recent articles made for Hawk Softball team.

Hope you enjoy this two part rendition.

Giving you thoughts on who should be on this team will be tough with so many players that deserve mention.

The ReSporter will start with giving four players for this two part series.

Michael Brady will be our catcher for this team as this young man was very good in throwing out base runners while leading all players with the best batting average at .364, while having more walks than strikeouts (48 bb/44 so) during his career.

Brady has 67 hits which is second only to Travis Walker who had an extra year of playing to take that lead.

Speaking of Walker, this player also made this team.

Catcher Michael Brady had a deadly arm and stopped a lot of base runners from behind the plate

The fact he played varsity for four years gives you an idea of what type of player he was for Canyon Lake.

Walker finished with a .294 batting average with 80 hits and leads with 6 home runs and 19 doubles for Hawk players.

Walker also played several positions while playing for Canyon Lake.

Ross Wagliardo would certainly make this squad as he would be one of our pitchers as well as having a .338 batting average, ranking third for the Hawks.

Wagliardo was another Hawk that had good contact with the ball as he struck out only 33 times while working 28 walks.

Two of the first three Hawk’s on this team were part of the only team to make the playoffs and that certainly goes a long way in choosing this team.

That playoff team was the first Hawk team to win their first round and then go three games in that next round with a team that boasted only three losses.

The ReSporter will have their part two in a few days as working on this article, we think it might be upped to a three part series.

Go Hawks!!
