Coach’s Corner

“A big strong catcher from Sioux Falls, S.D. who has been around the game with his dad — long time pitcher Rick Lang — since he was a small boy. Cedrick has continued to improve his skills over the last couple of years and is really coming into his own as a catcher.”

— Coach Gary Mullican

Editor’s note: You think he got much practice catching his dad ? 😉
