Who is the best shortstop in Ohio?
Justin Nelson from Kent Roosevelt High School. He is in a league on his own. He led the PTC in runs scored and singles as a Junior. Not only was he an offensive threat but he was also a defensive star. If they gave Gold Gloves in high school he would have one for his spectacular play. This being his Senior season, he looks to lead the Rough Riders to a PTC championship and pick up some hardware along the way. Looks to draw interest from colleges like South Carolina, Kent State, and UNC.

How do you make a protective cup less visible when playing baseball?
i am 13 and I play baseball and wear a protective cup. over the years I have been experimenting with different ways to make the cup less visible because it can be embarrassing sometimes. I would suggest first wearing a jockstrap with a cup underneath it and NOT in the pouch. it will still stay in and function properly but not be very visible. the second suggestion is to wear black baseball pants. the darker the less visible it gets. better yet, do both. I wear a jockstrap and black pants and you can`t tell that I am wearing a cup, even when you are close. it is totally normal to wear a jockstrap and it has more comfort and protection. hope this helps!
