Franklin Baseball Opening

[irnhead]

What can the fans and parents of morristown east expect from their new coach? They have been down the last few years and would really like to compete for district title against the likes of jeff co, seymour, sevier co, and cross town rival morristown west.

People from up our way thinks he will turn the program around. Who can argue? He did goto state tourney.

[TheAnswer21]

His game is small ball, good defense, and unpredictable pitch-calling. He will have the kids spend at least 30 minutes each day bunting, he will relentlessly drill basic fielding fundamentals, and he will make sure the pitching staff is able to throw any pitch in any count. The kids bought in at FHS and his style took them all the way to state. If he has a good group of kids over at Morristown that will buy in, he could be very successful.

How long did he coach at Franklin? Was he successful during the first season?

[TheAnswer21]

He coached at FHS for 3 seasons and was not really successful until his final year. However, he was able to get his teams to get hot at the right time every year. They always played well in the postseason, making it to at least the district championship game each season he was there.
