I have been involved with the game of baseball for nearly 50-years and have known Coach Ayres for 12 of those years.Coach Ayres and I met when I was coaching a 9/10U Travel Baseball team in Columbus, Indiana.Coach Ayres came down once per week during the season and twice per week during the offseason to work with our young pitchers.During the time together, Coach Ayres helped our boys develop endurance, control, and more than anything confidence.Our local team, Columbus Crush, went from being a one and done on Sunday to competing for tournament championships.
Coach Ayres not only worked with our boys but also with our coaches to establish better game communication and results.All of the young boys that Coach Ayres worked with started for their respective high school baseball teams, whether on Freshman, JV, or Varsity.Over half of the young men received some type of college baseball scholarship offers and have become successful college student-athletes.
From the bottom of my heart, Thank You Coach Ayres for your help and support throughout these years.
