This week’s Player of the Week award goes to Billy Greenfield, a left-handed pitcher for the ASBA Futures Team. He is coached by Brian Walker. Billy will be entering his junior year at Radnor High School.
Billy went the distance in his start this weekend, giving up just 2 runs on a pair of hits and a walk to earn the win. He also recorded 9 strikeouts in his 7 innings of work.
“Billy has been working with me since the fall on improving his delivery and he showed off his hard work this past weekend with a masterful performance,” Coach Brian Walker said about Billy. “His fastball sat in the low 80’s, which is very good for a left-hander, and he was able to mix in his breaking ball and change up effectively as well. Billy has a bright future ahead of him, as long as he continues to work hard.”
Billy has been very pleased with both his experience with the team and his lessons with Brian.
“Playing with the team’s been a ton of fun and I’m really looking forward to our next 2 tournaments. I was happy that the team pulled out a few wins in Maryland, and I hope that our success continues. Brian helped me make a mechanical change before my last start and it really helped me out.”
Billy’s father, Jim Greenfield, has also been impressed with how much the lessons with Brian have helped his son, and with the team.
“Brian made some mechanical adjustments to use his legs more, and apparently it worked well. Using his lower body has really helped him. The team is starting to come together, and it’s a pleasure to watch them play, and we’re looking forward to watch them play in the 16U Impact World Series in North Carolina.”
Billy and the ASBA Futures Team play again in East Cobb, Georgia, from July 16th to the 23rd.
