TIGER PLAYERS RACKING UP THE HARDWARE

In Hawaii, you won't hear walkup songs at a high school baseball game like you would on the mainland. However, you will get to play on TV. Games are telivised by Spectrum OC16 Sports and the broadcast is led by Felipe Ojastro and Markus Owens. After each game, Impact Player of the Game awards are handed out to each participating team. So far this season, Hawaii Tigers have totaled 6 impact player of the game awards. Blade Paragas and Auakai Araujo-Waiau have won the award twice. While Jacob Villacorte and Christopher Cannon have won 1 each with their stellar performances on TV. 

Projected 1st Round Draft Pick on an absolute TEAR

'23 Nolan Souza crushed his 5th Home Run of the season with an absolute TANK to deep RF. The Arkansas Razorback signee sent the 2nd pitch of the game over the house in deep RF.  Nolan entered the season ranked as the NO. 52  MLB Draft prospect. It is reasonable to infer he has climbed up those rankings with his play this season. The generational talent is batting .480 with 5 HRs 3 Triples 5 Doubles, and 15 Stolen Bases through 18 games (6 Interleague, 12 League).
