The Demons return all pitchers of 2012 and 8 position players. The Demon pitching staff features 2 senior lefties, Hunter Anthony and Brandon Sullivan…3 junior right-handers, Drew Fisch, Shane Sullivan, and Ty Andrus…sophomore right-hander, Logan Welch…and freshman right-hander, Laney Orr. The RJR pitching staff has it all: lefties, sub- mariners, multiple-arm angles, and hard-throwers. Coach Welch feels, overall, this is the best complete staff he has had in his 17 years at RJR. The 2013 Demon baseballers possess speed, skill, and good arms at every position…but can they score runs?? Yes, they can! The 2012 RJR offense finished the season with a near .300 team batting average. And the 2013 Demons are bigger, better, and more experienced. 1 through 9, Coach Welch sees no easy outs. With the combo of speed, consistency, and power, the Demons will score and score often. The 2013 RJR Demon varsity baseball team will contend for the CPC title. They have experience, skill, and high baseball IQ’s…and they are extremely hard workers. Coach Welch promises to push them to their limits enabling them to capture the 2013 CPC championship. 6 RJ Reynolds High School Baseball 2013 Varsity Team Coach’s Notes HUNTER ANTHONY SENIOR 4 YEAR LETTERMAN LHP,OF,1B “2012 Demon Cy Young Award winner” — Anthony enters his senior campaign with lofty expecta- tions. He led all Demon pitching categories in 2012 and Coach Welch needs even more from him in 2013…1 more year of growth…1 more year of maturity…and 1 more year full of strike-outs and wins! Anthony is also a superb outfielder and 1st baseman and really battles at the plate. The Demons will rely heavily of the left arm of Anthony to lead he Demons against their CPC foes in 2013. JUAN MONTEAGUDO SENIOR 1ST YEAR ON VARSITY 1B/OF Monteagudo has the attitude every coach wants…YES SIR! And endless energy! Monteagudo is a quick learn and is improving each day. By the end of the year, no doubt, he will find himself in the Demons starting line-up. Coach Welch hope this senior’s energy and passion rubs off on the rest of the Demons, and if it does, the Demons will find themselves holding the 2013 CPC title as CHAMPIONS! BRANDON SULLIVAN SENIOR 2 YEAR LETTERMAN LHP,1B,OF B. Sullivan drives hitters crazy with his “fool you” pitching style. He is a “strike monster” with 3 pitches…his favorite pitch being his change-up and it is superb! He is fearless on the mound and truly believes he should pitch a complete game every time he takes the mound. B. Sullivan is very versatile defensively, has great baseball instincts. B. Sullivan is almost impossible to strike-out with his “Ichiro” hitting style. Brandon will be a huge factor for the Demons in 2013 as they battle for the CPC crown. DEAN VLASIS SENIOR 4 YEAR LETTERMAN 2B,RHP Vlasis comes into 2013 with extra mass and muscle and Coach Welch hopes this will translate into power and run production and arm health. Consistency and staying healthy are the keys for Vlasis, and the Demons need it from their senior second baseman. Vlasis’s offensive and defensive success are major factors in the overall success of the 2013 RJR baseball team as they pursue the CPC title. ANDREW THOMASSON SENIOR 2 YEAR LETTERMAN 3B,LF Thomasson makes his senior debut with the Demons and brings a very competitive attitude with him. He battles at the plate and can play multiple positions in the field. Thomasson is a gritty fielder and is not afraid to throw his body in front of the ball. Coach Welch likes what he sees in Thomasson, especially when Thomasson’s bat is sending balls all over the field! No doubt, Thomasson will play a vital role in
