3. The players will respond. When asked how he would feel if more fans were in attendance, freshman outfielder Reggie Gates said, “I would love it.” Baseball players thrive off of crowds. Look at the 2002 Angels, when the rally monkey would come out the fans would go nuts and then the players would react. The same holds true for Eastern baseball. When the crowd comes alive the players come out with a sharpness that’s just different.
4. All week the practices are focused on intensity, hustle and limiting mistakes. Eastern baseball’s goals are to play like they practice and if you’ve seen their practices they put on a show with diving plays and tons of hustle. Then there are the long balls by guys like Chance Abrath, Mason Moore, and Denver Hansen with others jumping in on the fun as well.
5. The fans are the key to put the intensity into the games. With your help and support, Eastern baseball will put on a show and put up a fight to some of the top baseball talent on the west coast. The presence of fans, even if just there for social reasons, brings that secret formula to a team that’s already filled with great chemistry.
