April-19-2019-Digita Collegiate Baseball The Voice Of Amateur Baseball Started In 1958 At The Request Of Our Nation’s Baseball Coaches Vol. 62, No. 8 Friday, April 19, 2019 $4.00 Mike Rogers Utilizes Amazing System While the vast majority of high school coaches across the USA don’t interact with coaches who work with their players outside of school, Mike Rogers embraces them to help his players. By LOU PAVLOVICH, JR. Editor/Collegiate Baseball USTIN, Tex. — Mike Rogers is one of the elite head baseball coaches in the nation at Lake Travis High School Ain Austin, Tex. Now in his 27th year as a coach at four different high schools, he recently celebrated his 700th career win. His teams have made the state playoffs 23 times, and he has been picked as Coach of The Year 19 times. Over the years, he has raised over $500,000 by hosting an annual Kickoff The Season Banquet. His ball club this season is 22-1 and ranked No. 1 nationally in the Collegiate Baseball National High School poll presented by Diamond Pro. Part of what makes this coach so smart is his unique philosophy in working with people outside his program. Rogers wants to know precisely what outside coaches and parents have done to refine pitchers, hitters or the defensive skills of his players as they enter his program. He talks to outside coaches and parents as he comes up with a plan for each of his players that will make them better as baseball See PROGRESSIVE SKIPPER UTILIZES, Page 17 Mike Rogers of Lake Travis H.S.

  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.
