Father/son coaching tandem Dick, Scott Hormann focus on fundamentals with rising Lutheran baseball copreps
Dick Hormann played baseball in Japan, so naturally he wants his Lutheran Lions to approach the game like the Samurai.
“Today, kids come up and they see the fence and think it’s all about hitting it over the wall,” Dick said. “But they’ve got to understand the game — and the fact that so far, we’re not getting beat by other teams, we’re getting beat by the game. Look at the Japanese, they are all fundamentals. That’s what I’m trying to impart on these kids.
But Lutheran moved up to Class 4A this year, and is playing in the tough Pikes Peak League featuring second-ranked Cheyenne Mountain, Lewis-Palmer, Air Academy, Discovery Canyon and Palmer Ridge. That means the No. 7 Lions need to shore up their discipline before league play begins April 11. Scott has mellowed a bit from his days wearing out umpires at Heritage games. He’ll still raise his voice at his guys for not hustling, sloppy play or mental mistakes. But any time the intensely competitive son feels himself getting too worked up, he glances at his dad.
