# 18 Franklin (KY) upset by ballard #24 John Fidanza looked very impressive. His off season work ethic has put him ahead of the class. Fidanza worked in the off season with current MLB ball players catching and being instructed. His determination during breaks placed him in Jupiter,Florida home of the spring training Florida Marlins and St Louis clubs. Fidanza felt very relaxed in that atmosphere being he played in this location for years at the perfect game.
