2017 Huntsville High Baseball Media Guide Huntsville High School 2304 Billie Watkins Drive Huntsville, Alabama 35801 Telephone (256) 428-8050 Aaron King Principal HHS Baseball Family and Friends, Welcome to the 2017 Panther baseball season! This year promises to be another exciting and competitive year under the leadership of head coach, David Sharp. The players and coaches have prepared for the season and will continue the proud tradition of excellence, on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. The players are dedicated and work very hard to make HHS baseball one of the best programs in the state. The varsity will play one of the strongest schedules in the State, which includes the Huntsville - Birmingham Challenge, the toughest tournament in Alabama High School Baseball. Our young men will play in the Gulf Coast Classic in Orange Beach during Spring Break. The team will also play at Vanderbilt University, one of the country’s best programs. In addition to playing teams from Mississippi, Tennessee, and Oklahoma, the home schedule includes quality teams from around the state. Please join me in wishing them the best of luck this year! Coach Sharp is doing a tremendous job and has assembled an excellent and hardworking coaching staff. Returning to the staff to assist him this year are BJ Womack, Todd Gengle, Nick Acosta, and David Coker. There are three new additions to the staff this year, Ken Brown, Trey Moody, and Casey Lambert. These coaches are dedicated to helping each young man reach his full potential as a player, as a student, and as a productive member of our community. Congratulations on the job they are doing! Thank you to the parents and fans that support HHS Baseball in many different ways. We could not have a successful program without a strong booster club! Whether it’s volunteering for various jobs or helping with a fundraising activity, thank you for your continued efforts to help improve the program. I look forward to seeing you at the games! Let’s all continue to improve by 1% daily! GO BIG RED! Very Respectfully, Aaron King, M.Ed. Principal, Huntsville High Friends of HHS Baseball, On behalf of the Booster Club, I want to welcome you to the 2017 season of Huntsville High School baseball. The Booster Club would like to thank the numerous companies and individuals who have supported our fundraising efforts. All the expenses associated with operating the baseball program are covered through these fundraising efforts and corporate sponsorships, and for this the HHS Baseball Booster Club, coaches and players are extremely grateful for the support of the community. On behalf of the Booster Club officers, I want to thank all those individuals who assisted with each fundraising effort. Without the hard work of these individuals we would not be able to cover the expenses associated with supporting each of the HHS baseball teams. We are very excited to begin another baseball season at Huntsville High School. This season the sched- ule for the varsity will be challenging, yet again. The team faces quality opponents throughout the year, including teams from Oklahoma, Tennessee and Mississippi. In area play, the varsity will face the defending state champion, Hewitt Trussville, along with Gadsden City and cross-town rival Grissom. To the 2017 seniors and their families, we want to thank you for your countless efforts working hard to support the baseball program and make it what it is today. You definitely have left the program better than it was when you first arrived. We hope you will continue to support the HHS Baseball program once your high school playing days have completed, and will always consider yourself part of the Big Red family.

Our players have worked tremendously hard during the offseason in preparation for a very challenging 2017 season. All three teams will play quality opponents throughout the season. Our expecta- tions remain the same year in and year out and our players have done a good job of taking ownership of that. The 2016 season was a tremendous success as the varsity reached the 30 win plateau for only the second time in school history and reached the 7A Elite 8 for the second consecu- tive season. Five players from the 2016 team are currently playing at the collegiate level, which makes 13 players from the past four senior classes that are continuing their collegiate careers in 2017. We wish all of them success this year. The 2017 season will offer a tremendous challenge for our varsity team. We begin the season in the very prestigious Huntsville- Birmingham Challenge as we will play some of the best teams in the state. We will travel to Gulf Shores to participate in the Gulf Coast Classic during spring break. These tournaments are in addition to an already challenging regular season schedule. Our varsity will also have a unique opportunity to play at Vanderbilt Universi- ty this year. Our area this year consists of high quality opponents in Gadsden City, Hewitt Trussville and Grissom. A tremendous challenge awaits our team. As we begin our season I would like to thank our school administration and faculty, our many sponsors, the parents in our program, the students and their continued support and all other fans and supporters of our program. We are very fortunate to have the continual support of our community and others and our coaches and players greatly appreciate that support. I would also like to thank all of our assistant coaches for their hours of dedication and hard work to our program. They are good baseball coaches but even better people. We hope to see all of you at Panther Field this year to cheer on our teams.

Williamson was 4-3 with a 3.72 ERA in 14 starts for Single-A Salem of the Carolina League. He allowed just three home runs in 65.1 innings and yielded a .242 opponents batting average, including .211 with runners in scoring position. The 21-year old left-hander was originally selected by Seattle in the 22nd round of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft and was traded to the Red Sox for David Aardsma prior to the 2009 season. Williamson went 10-5 with a 2.42 ERA and 104 strikeouts in 108.0 innings in 28 games, 12 starts, with Single-A Greenville last year. He has a 24-13 record and a 3.17 ERA in 68 career appearances, including 50 starts, in four professional seasons. Patterson was designated for assignment on Tuesday after batting .204 with four home runs and nine RBI in 45 games with Oakland. He had started just five of the A’s last 34 games and was 5 for 32 (.156) in 18 games total over that span. The 27-year old right-handed hitter was acquired from the Chicago Cubs with Sean Gallagher, Josh Donaldson and Matt Murton for Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin on July 8, 2008 and hit .211 with five home runs and 28 RBI in 114 games with the A’s.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
