Fishhawk Baseball at Suncoast USSA tourney in Plant City
Brent Franklin is the manager of the Fishhawk 10U for five years andhas been coaching for eight years. Brent started the travel team as a way for the kids to "get better" by playing more competitive teams.
The skill level difference at the travel level is seen mostly in terms of consistency and fundamentals. USSSA is a great fit for the Wolves as they bring the best teams to the tourneys. Local tourneys are held on a monthly basis with Tampa, Orlando and other teams attending. Suncoast and USSSA joining together to hold tourneys in Plant City, Bradenton, Sarasota and other sites is key. Brent is impressed with all the facilities with Plant City being top notch.
Brent's 10U team is getting better in all areas. Brent said fielding comes
first with hitting, and understanding the game, are areas we work on.
Brent attended Durant High School and played four years at Florida
Southern and played in the minor leagues for five season in independent
ball as a pitcher.
Brent and assistant coach Jay Skaggs are very proud of the team
consisting of: Julian Ashley Friedman, Ethan Moore, Grant Melita, Noah Berning, Cole Lenzen, Owen Franklin, Luke Rossi, Christian Skaggs and Noah Franklin.
