Up against men now in second and third grades, Dad Jeff says passionate sportsman Adam is holding his own.
Hoping to make the NSW team in the U16 category for next year’s nationals and eventually make the U18s Australian squad, the Westfield Sports High School baseball superstar plans to “live the dream” after finishing high school.

Macarthur just had their ninth player in two years make the leap to college in the USA at Big Spring, Texas, to play for the Howard College Hawks baseball team so it’s a likely possibility that Adam will also make the grade in the future.
“It’s exciting but we’ll have to wait and see, he’s still got a few years left here to build his skills and experience,” Jeff said.
