This week’s All Star Baseball Academy Player of the Week Award goes to Tom Carey. Tom is going into his junior year at Haverford High School. Tom primarily plays first base for West Chester’s 16U team, which is coached by Kevin McGrath.
Tom hit .417 for the weekend, going 5 for 12 with a triple. The first baseman also chipped in with 3 RBI’s for the 16U squad, and has been a key contributor all season.
“I really like playing for All Star, they have helped me out a lot over the years. I’m looking forward to this weekend’s tournament at Berkshire. I’ve been taking lessons at Broomall for the last 8 years, along with the Big League Experience, and I feel like that really helps me get ready for the season. I feel like I did well at the plate this past weekend.”
“He’s a really good ballplayer,” said McGrath. “He’s been hitting the ball hard all summer long, and he’s been using the whole field to do so. He’s been a great team player, doing whatever’s been asked of him. He’s a hard worker, and he’s a respectable kid.”
Overall, Mrs. Carey has been pleased with everything he son has done at ASBA.
“He’s having a good year with Kevin, he’s really enjoyed it and is having a good season,” said Mrs. Carey. “He’s been with All Star since he was 12, and he works out of Broomall a lot. We’ve been doing the Big League Experience with Shawn Pender at Broomall for the last few years, and he’s also been doing lessons with Javi Rodriguez. Along with that, he’s done the Advanced Infield Program and all of their (Broomall) different programs.”
Tom and the 16U team from West Chester completed there season this past weekend, but keep an eye out for them this fall.
