Byrne starts out Down Under
Australian native Clayton Byrne, 23, moves to the United States to play baseball with the Frederick Keys. He joins a small group of Australians in pro ball, noting the sport is growing in Australia and that learning the rules is a hurdle. Bowie’s Pete Mackanin and John O’Donoghue describe Perth baseball, Class A level play, and competitive club teams. Byrne’s father is a renowned coach with four Claxton Shield titles, a junior path to pro ball.
