USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Recently graduated Air Force first baseman/outfielder Karl Bolt was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 15th round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft Friday. Bolt is the second Air Force Academy baseball player ever drafted in the 51-year history of the program.
   A four-year letterwinner, Bolt was the 473rd selection in the draft. Bolt joins Dallas Braden as alumni of Hoover Tyler Little League who were drafted into the pro circuit.
   As a senior, Bolt led the Falcons in hitting (.349), hits (68), home runs (8), doubles (16), runs (34) and RBI (47). A first-team all-Mountain West Conference selection, Bolt was also selected as the team MVP for the second-consecutive season.
   "It has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid to play pro baseball," Bolt said. "And to get the chance to fulfill my dream is incredible. I am really excited about this opportunity, but first and foremost, I look forward to my first assignment at Robbins AFB, Ga., as a Logistics Readiness Officer. I fully intend to fulfill my commitment to the Air Force and look forward to serving my country. If somewhere down the road, there is an opportunity to play professional baseball, I would certainly look into it.
   A native of Stockton, Calif., and a product of Lincoln HS, Bolt left his mark at the Academy, ranking amongst the top 10 all-time in several categories. A career .334 hitter, Bolt ranks fourth all-time in hits (232) and games played (200), seventh in home runs (33) and eighth in RBI (148). He also ranks fourth in walks (93) and hit by pitches (35) and fifth in total bases (390) and seventh in doubles (47).

Mike McCann, the manager of the Minor A Reds, won the first annual Dad's Homerun Hitting Contest, held at Hoover Tyler Little League on Saturday, May 19. Mike blasted 5 tennis balls over the fence to claim the $100 gift certificate to Garlic Brothers.

Congratulations Mike!

There will be no games played at Hoover Tyler between Thursday, April 5 and Wednesday, April 11, 2007. Enjoy your Easter break and we'll look forward to seeing you back at the ball park after April 11.
But...if you are itching for some baseball, the Junior team (13 & 14 year olds) would love to have your support. The Junior team (see article below) will be playing the Rio Calaveras Junior team at McNair High School on Monday, April 9 at 5:30 PM.

Game 1 - March 31
Hoover-Tyler's Junior Team (13 & 14 year-olds) opened the season with a convincing 21-2 win over the Morada Cardinal's team at the Morada field. It was an all around team contribution with Michael Yamuni pitching the first 3 innings and allowing only 1 earned run. Brian Lujan closed out the game with 2 innings of run free performance before the game ended after 5 innings under the ten-run-rule. Kyle Hanf and Noel Ambriz sparked the offense with 4 RBI's each.

Game 2 - April 3
The Hoover Tyler Juniors played the Eastern A's team on April 3. The Juniors were unable to complete a full game due to darkness and the game was halted in the top of the 5th inning with Hoover Tyler ahead by a score of 15-6. The game was stopped with Hoover Tyler at bat, one out, and one runner on first. Our Juniors had another great team performance and our offense was strong. Brian Lujan went four for four, Noel Ambriz was three for three with two doubles and a triple, and Michael Yamuni hit a home run. Hoover Tyler had a team total of 13 hits at the time the game was halted and Noel Ambriz gave a strong pitching performance recording 8 strikeouts in three innings.

A special thank you to Mark Lujan Sr. for reporting on the Junior team games.

Hoover Tyler Graduate, Dallas Braden, Invited To Oakland A's Spring Training

January 13, 2007 - Former Hoover Tyler player, Dallas Braden, is currently wrapping up winter league in Puerto Rico and will be returning to Stockton next week (the week of January 15). Dallas has informed us that he has received an invitation to attend the Oakland A's spring training in Phoenix, Arizona. Dallas was gracious enough to throw out the first pitch at opening ceremonies in April of 2005 (see story on the Archived Stories web page). That year, while playing for the Ports, he went 6 - 0 and was promoted to the the A's AA team in Midland, Texas. Last year, Dallas spent time rehabbing his arm after an injury, but says he is back to full strength. Dallas contacted us because he would like to set up a single player scholarship for a child of a single mom, in honor of his mom. The scholarship would pay for that child's equipment needs. Dallas will be interviewed for this website after his return and the article will appear here. Stay tuned! Go Dallas!!

Little League Baseball Implements Major Rule Change - Pitch Counts

   Little League Baseball announced it was changing its decades-old pitching rules, making the actual number of pitches delivered the deciding factor in determining eligibility in the baseball division. Starting with the 2007 season, pitchers in all divisions of Little League, from age 7 to 18, will have specific limits for each game, based on their age. The number of pitches delivered in a game will determine the amount of rest the player must have before pitching again.
   The number of pitches allowable under the new regulation is based on the pitcher’s age. Specific rest periods are in place when a pitcher reaches a higher threshold of pitches delivered in a day.

   The table below gives an overview of the number of pitches that will be allowed per day for each age group during the regular season in 2007.
