It's the first sign of spring. High school baseball workouts officially begin today all...
Dramatic plays at the plate, like this one at Jim Kethan Field last spring, are just around the corner now that high school baseball practices officially start this afternoon.Chris Rupp, Deer Park High School's longtime head baseball coach, learned something new in the off-season. He learned that's it's a whole lot easier to replace a pitcher on the mound than it is to replace two knees.
Scrimmages are permitted by the UIL starting on Saturday, Feb. 4 and the season openers can take place starting Feb. 20. Two new batting cages have been added. There's the two attached to the Andy Pettitte Field House that have always been there and now two brand-new ones are ready for use along the third-base/left field side.
"They're pretty much finished with the construction. They're just touching up a few things now. We're excited about that and the kids are too. I think the look of a new stadium gives them an even more positive outlook, knowing that they get to play in such a nice facility," Rupp said Thursday.
