Hawk’s Baseball All-Time Players

So far The ReSporter has Michael Brady, Travis Walker, and Ross Waglardo as three of the best baseball athletes during their stay at Canyon Lake.

Picking this team is a much tougher task than softball as there has been many more players to play while most of softball students were 3 or 4 year players.

This is to say, there will be several people that can make a case for a different set of players for this team and The ReSporter would not be hurt by that assessment.

With the 3 players that have been picked, The ReSporter feels that those 3 students would need to be on everyone’s ballot.

Drew Riccio will be our next pick as this young man could bring more than just his athletic skills, he would be that player needed in the dug out for preparing the team for any battle no matter what inning in the game.

Riccio finished with a .317 average and his intangibles of hating to lose (not saying other players like to lose), but Riccio had a way of willing the best result he could in any contest.

This another player that started in CL’s infancy and was part of the playoff team in the second year of play.

Cody Breest will also be on this team as the number one starter on the mound.

A record of 11-3 record with 2 saves was certainly a huge part of that first team to make the playoffs as Breest had a 2.48 earned run average to boot giving up just 28 earned runs.

Breest was also a decent fielder with 4 home runs for a .391 slugging percentage.

If you needed a win to start a series, then this is the player to give the Hawks there best chance to start unscathed.

Joe Shone is next on the list as this toy cannon had power the plate and speed in the outfield as he finished his playing batting .302 and .473 slugging percentage.

Another player from the playoff team that led off in the batting order as he had an on base percentage of .392 which led to 37 runs in his 148 at bats, scoring every fourth time he came to the plate.

The ReSporter will continue this sojourn as each article will get increasingly harder to separate so many deserving players.

Go Hawks!!
