Tulsa Youth Named into Baseball’s Hall of Fame at Cooperstown

By Anonymous

McKinney, Texas August, 2003 -- Gunner Glad (16) of Tulsa‘s Union High School, was recently awarded the prestigious Most Valuable Player Award (MVP), by the American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC) after his performance in the Mickey Mantle World Series held this past weekend in McKinney, Texas.

In the 2003 season American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC) had more than 250,000 players playing competitive baseball nation wide in 46 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

Gunner was selected by (Head Coach) Logan Stout to play for the Dallas Patriots, after winning regional playoffs held the last week of July at the Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma.

The Dallas Patriots battled a week of strong opposition during the AABC World Series playoff games. Teams entering this event had already won their regional titles.

Teams had made their way from Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Puerto Rico, Tennessee and California. The Dallas Patriots were victorious in the week’s challenge and captured the AABC Mickey Mantle World Series Title.

Gunner's pitching velocity ran 88-89mph and topped out at 90-91mph to complete a three hit, nine-strikeout game against Michigan collecting the win, while playing several other positions’ during the week without error. Gunner also batted .417 with (6) RBI’s in four games.

The Team photo and list of players names will be placed on display at Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame during the next year with a specially made name plate of this year’s MVP (Gunner Glad) which will be adopted into the Baseball Hall of Fame under the American Amature Baseball Congress Area at Cooperstown.

Other most recently noted AABC World Series alumni are Texas Rangers third baseman Hank Blalock, who played shortstop in 1996 for the Encinitas, Calif., Reds, Zack Segovia, the former Forney ace now in the Phillies' minor league system and Choo Freeman, a first-round pick in 1998.

BASEBALL SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE TO SERIOUS HIGH SCHOOL BALL-PLAYERS - RIJO ATHLETICS HELPS PROMOTE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL PLAYERS TO THE "NEXT-LEVEL."

By Anonymous

Do you know any young baseball players that have a dream of playing college baseball, or perhaps, professional ball? How Do They Get Noticed? How do they obtain a college scholarship or be considered for the "Pro's." These are commonly asked questions by players and their parents.

Today, a common misconception is that "if you're good enough, "they" will find you." This is no longer true unless they're one of the elite players in the country. In fact, most need to make an effort to get their names "out there." But, how does one do that? We've found that a student-athlete and his parents must educate themselves about the college and professional recruiting process.

That's where Rijo Athletic Training and Conditioning helps. We assist players in understanding the importance of "baseball-specific" training and the significance of promoting themselves. We guide them through every phase of the process until they're either drafted into pro-ball or obtain a college scholarship.

Most players and parents don't have a clue what a showcase is. They don't know the difference between D-1, D-2, D-3, NAIA schools and Community College Baseball, nor, at what level they fit in. They don't realize what the NCAA Clearinghouse is and how it operates, what college coaches look for in a player, what school programs are a good "fit" for both baseball and academically, how the major league draft works, what a "draft and follow" is, what pro scouts look for in a player, how to promote themselves to college programs and to professional scouts and how to construct a player profile. We have yet to find but a hand full of people that know about Baseball America's "Prospect Plus", the "Area Code Games", the "Perfect Game" Organization, "Team One Baseball" and the "Major League Scouting Bureau."

As baseball season approaches many are worried about where they'll be playing in a year or two. How would they feel if they had "politics" on their side for a change? Rijo Athletic Training and Consulting can definitely help.

Rijo Athletics has a complete training facility in Everett, Washington and helps with every phase of the baseball process; from Junior High through Progessional Baseball.

More information is available by contacting Dennis Gac or Coach Jose Rijo-Berger at (206) 650-0250
