🔥 Player Profile:
Thatcher “Thaddy” Reilly

Meet Thatcher — better known around the field as “Thaddy” or “T-Bone” — the kind of player every team needs and every opponent has to keep an eye on.

Sporting number 11, In the outfield, he’s a difference-maker. Thaddy tracks down balls most wouldn’t even attempt, using his unbelievable speed — his greatest weapon — to turn near misses into outs and change the momentum of the game in an instant.

But what truly sets him apart goes beyond the field. Thaddy is driven by his faith in God and guided by his coach, LV — influences that shape not just how he plays, but who he is as a teammate. You can see it in his focus, his effort, and the way he carries himself every inning.

His advice to younger players says it all:
“Even if nobody else believes in you, believe in yourself.”

Vibes: Fast. Fearless. Faith-driven.

#11 isn’t just on the roster — when T-Bone steps on the field, he brings a spark you can’t ignore. ⚾🔥

🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT 🔥

Meet Lee “Leebo” Holloway — #99 holding it down at SS, 1st, and on the mound as RHP 💪⚾️

This kid brings Iron Man energy every time he steps on the field. Whether he’s making plays in the dirt or firing heat from the mound, Lee’s determination is what sets him apart. He’s the kind of player who thrives in the moment — loud crowd, big plays, and all eyes on him… that’s where he shines.

For Lee, being part of the Reapers is about more than just the game — it’s about traveling, competing, and building friendships that last beyond the season. And he’s got goals 👀 — he’s aiming to swipe at least 15 bases this season, so pitchers better stay on their toes.

At the plate? His mindset is simple: swing the bat. And when it’s all said and done, he wants people to remember one thing — he doesn’t strike out.

Big arm ✔️
