Great perspective from Will Haberstock, standout pitcher for Centennial HS in Roswell and D1 pitcher for North Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast. He takes us through his mindset as a light hitting catcher and outfielder, who converted to pitcher, then grew stronger and better by pushing himself and his teammates to put in the work before, during and after practice.

He's shared his experiences with the 15U National team he's helped coach for USA Scout, and is a great example of how hard work and an open mind to other positions can pay off.
