This week’s All Star Baseball Academy Player of the Week Award goes to CJ Herron. CJ plays for Broomall’s 17U Team, where he is coached by Mike Foley. CJ is also a senior outfielder for Conestoga High School.
For the weekend of July 23rd, CJ was 5 for 11. Two of his five hits were for extra bases, and he also chipped in with 2 RBI’s. Along with his offensive performance, CJ was solid in the outfield.
“He’s a very good player, and an even better kid and a joy to have on the team,” said Coach Foley about CJ. “He’s definitely a team first guy and will do anything asked of him to help the team.”
Mrs. Herron has been very pleased with CJ’s experience this summer, as well as the lessons he’s been taking. “He’s playing with Mike Foley, Javi, and Ken, and they’ve worked hard with him to improve his skills and overall field confidence. CJ has enjoyed playing on the 17U summer team with supportive teammates who have bonded nicely together as a team as the season has progressed. They’ve played very competitive baseball and have had a fine summer. We’ve had a great experience with All Star.”
“I’ve had a great experience with All Star Baseball Academy,” said CJ. “The coaches are very helpful, and my teammates are really supportive and great guys. I just stayed relaxed and worked my at-bats this weekend and had good results.”
The 17U Team from Broomall concluded their season the weekend of the 30th in Pittsburgh. Be on the lookout for CJ this fall and spring at Conestoga.
