Scouts eye Sack and others as Pioneer League spring notes
Scouts consider Sack as an outfielder to use his speed while Singleton may pitch. The San Diego youth previously pitched, and Bob Mahoney a 19 year old right-hander from Le Roy Minnesota is expected to anchor the Cardinal mound staff. Ralph Beard, a 19 year old 6'5\" 200 pound pitcher from Cincinnati, also shows promise. Hamilton Pony League stats were three wins and six losses. This year’s Pioneer League is expected to be stronger with Shaughnessy playoffs promising action from start to finish.
