This week’s All Star Baseball Academy Player of the Week Award goes to Nick Cataldi for his performance the weekend of March 31st at Sports at the Beach in Georgetown, Delaware. Nick plays for Warminster’s 12U team. He pitches and plays 3rd base. Nick is coached by Brian Good.
Nick had a tremendous weekend at the plate, going 7 for 9 with a whopping total of 4 homeruns. One of his homeruns was a grand slam, while the other three were 2-run blasts. Nick capped off the weekend with a game winning walk-off homer. Along with his astounding homerun totals, Nick scored 5 runs and drove in 11 runs.
On the mound, Nick was equally impressive. In 3 innings, he didn’t allow a single run while earning two wins. He also racked up 5 strikeouts to put the finishing touches on his fantastic weekend.
Nick’s dad was thrilled to hear of his son’s selection, and has been very impressed with All Star.
“Our experience with All Star has been great. Coach Good and Coach O’Brien have done a tremendous job with the kids. Nick’s skill level has improved greatly. He had a fantastic weekend, and in general the whole season has been great. We hope to be with All Star for as long as we can.”
“I thought the weekend went well, the team played great, and we got wins against some good teams,” Nick said. “I enjoy being on the team because the players are good and Coach Brian has really helped me in every aspect of the game. I’ve made a lot of friends on the team.”
Coach Brian gave Nick a glowing review, saying “Nick is a better kid than he is a player and he is a darn good player. In all my years playing and coaching I've never seen a player hit 3 homeruns in 3 consecutive at bats both. This is only the type of thing I've seen on TV. The fact that all 3 came in crucial playoff games made it that much more impressive!”
Congratulations to Nick for being named Player of the Week. ASBA Warminster 12U is done playing for the season. We wish Nick and the rest of the team the best of luck in their respective Little League seasons.
