A

Strike one strike two strike three you're out actually you're in to another edition of athletes in action: hi I'm, Wiley Baker at Severna, Park, High School. Let's go around the bases with the 2015 for a state, finalist Falcons and their manager and former major league pitcher Eric Milton, the Severna Park baseball team is thirsting for another opportunity to take their season to the limit. I.

B

Think from the start of the season, we as a coaching staff realized that we, we might have a little better team than last year and it's proved that way. Yeah.

C

We've had some success just like last year is tough, letting some of the seniors go. But it's it's our job as the seniors this year to kind of take over the rolls and kind of bring us back to the same goal. Veteran.

A

Leadership and team cohesion have been the keys to another winning campaign. It's.

D

Being able to sort of give back to your to the younger players and being able to teach them how they should act as a team and a cohesive group, they should how they should handle themselves on the field. One thing when they face adversity, and so maybe they will want to be a captain. It's.

E

An honor, it's it's a privilege, you know, I, don't take it for granted. It's it's something that I pride myself in, and you know it's it's something that I've always been always wanted to be in my life, a leader that is- and you know, I love, doing I love, helping guys, I love. You know supporting guys the.

A

Falcon players keep their wings by relying on healthy alternatives. We.

B

Have a short amount of time for practice a couple hours, but we we make sure we we dedicate those first 30 45 minutes to taking care of the body before we before we get into practice. It's.

D

Really a trickle-down from coach Milton and his experience in the majors and stuff like that teaching us how exactly we should be handling ourselves on and off the field off. The field is just as important as on it is in regards to nutrition and eating and just be staying.

C

Healthy, we take stretching very seriously, and you know really prevents injury and obviously because it shows work for our team. Come.

E

In have a routine do everything the same every day you know try to be as consistent as we possibly can coach.

A

Milton utilizes his major-league experiences to strengthen his falcons in the facets of the game. You.

B

Know, I kind of focus on the mental game kind of teach them how to play. We call one pitch at a time. It's it's! It's playing the game, one pitch at a time for having the focus having it having the mental ability to to do that.

C

You know just experience playing the major leagues and then we our order assistant coaches. It gives a long way. It's huge I mean they've, been playing the game longer than you can imagine. So it's they apply it to our team and it's been working out. It's awesome.

E

But the experience that he has- and you know the knowledge of the game that he has it's just remarkable and you know you can go to him with any question you have and he always has an answer for you always supportive. It's it's just great to have him around and we're really fortunate that being.

A

Jules in the classroom equals great news on the diamond when.

D

You're being successful in this in the classroom, it's gonna trickle down to both your athletics and your teammates, because you're able to focus on your sports that, once you have that solid foundation at school, you're able to sort of divide, redirect your attention to your teammates and help work on things that are not going so well and be able to divert that attention. Academics.

C

First, that's why it's student-athlete so I mean to be an athlete. You got to make sure your grades are right and you know where your grades are gonna. Take you farther than your talent. If.

E

You don't have good grades, then you don't have you know the privilege of playing, for you know a program like my guys so got to give him up finishing.

A

The Falcon flight.

B

Will be winning the state championship from winter workouts? We knew we had to town. We had a team to take back those states. We want to win a state championship, nothing.

D

Short of a state championship- that's that's, that's got to be it. That's our ultimate goal. The big.

C

E

To win the state championship when we came in this year with one goal state championship and that's that's what we've been thinking this entire season thanks.

A
