📰 News we're reading

• How Reds legend Joey Votto is helping one Daytona Tortugas prospect (news-journalonline.com) — A New Smyrna Beach resident you might recognize, Reds legend Joey Votto, has quietly been mentoring Daytona Tortugas prospect Tyson Lewis at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. Votto’s regular visits and simple, approach-focused hitting tips have helped Lewis rebound from a slow start and refine his plate discipline. The story offers a behind-the-scenes look at how a future Hall of Famer is influencing local minor-league talent.
   

• The Mosquito Lagoon Rebound (floridasportsman.com) — Anglers around Mosquito Lagoon will be interested to know seagrass and redfish are rebounding, helped by Brevard County’s lagoon-restoration tax and local habitat projects. For New Smyrna Beach residents, a key detail is that redfish remain catch-and-release only from New Smyrna Beach down to the Martin–Palm Beach county line. Guides report stronger redfish, snook, and tarpon action, especially in cleaner winter and summer conditions.
