Player of the Week
Ryder (AB )
Week of May 31, 2010:
This is Ryder's second year in outdoor baseball with the Sherwood Park Minor Baseball Association. Last week he caught a ball at short stop and was able to get a kid out at second base. He understands the rules of the game and all the positions. He is a team player and starts many chants on the sidelines to encourage his fellow teammates play.
Ryder en est à sa deuxième année au sein de l’Association de baseball mineur de Sherwood Park. La semaine dernière, il a capté une balle à sa position de joueur d’arrêt-court et il a retiré le coureur adverse qui arrivait au deuxième but. C’est un joueur qui comprend déjà bien le jeu à plusieurs positions. C’est un joueur d’équipe. D’ailleurs, lorsqu’il est dans l’abri des joueurs, il est très actif pour entonner des chants pour encourager ses coéquipiers.
