Catcher on the mound - time to launch!!!!!

My dad and I arrived in Huntsville, AL in just enough time to catch the Angels AA Rocket City Trash Pandas game as a pit-stop for the night on my way to the 2023 Frontier League tryouts. They were playing a double-header against Milwaukee Brewers’ AA team - the Biloxi Shuckers.

Taking in the sights and sounds of an atmosphere I hope to play in some day, we were exploring the stadium just as fans this time. By lucky chance, I talked to some of the awesome RCTP staff in the concourse who I got to share my journey as a dual professional: software engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton (the team’s major sponsor) and baseball player. They excitedly directed me to a desk and the next 10 minutes were a whirlwind standing in a line… then marching out onto the field! I was so excited to throw the FIRST first pitch of the second game that night!

“Now taking the mound pitching for Booz Allen Hamilton… it’s Scrappy!”
