Frederick Cadets Eye Pitching Prowess As Baseball Trials Begin
Frederick High School baseball coach Gene Hummel faces a tight schedule and a large hopeful list as tryouts begin at McCurdy Field. With 62 players out, no positions settled, and a month to prepare for April 17 opener against Charlotte Hall, competition tightens around pitching veterans and a deep pool of talent from tenth and ninth grades. Public and junior leagues are seen as future talent sources, while the existing schedule includes limited league games and possible night contests with local rivals.

Raffensberger Masters Walks In Dominant Showing
Tampa March 14 Ken Raffensberger emphasizes control as his strength. Since 1943 he averages 1.9 walks per nine innings and has two wild pitches in four years. He seldom issues free passes, aims to pound the strike zone, and notes repeat trouble with opponents like Stanky Furillo Campanella Musial Slaughter. Raffensberger’s pitch-to-contact approach is shaped by a childhood with a catcher father teaching precision. Born in York Pennsylvania, he honed his craft around the York White Roses era with mentors Lefty George and Norm Pilitt.

ParnelLs secret to Fenway success hinges on wall strategy
Pitcher Parnell explains his approach at Fenway Park, targeting hitters strength by inside placement and avoiding the wall. He says deceiving speed and the windup lures sluggers to swing, keeping the pressure off him. The 28-year-old New Orleans native won 16 games last season, after 25 wins in 1949 near the pennant for the Red Sox.
