  =========================================================================================================  Lombardozzi Gets the Call! The Washington Nationals named Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni infielder Steve Lombardozzi their minor league player of the year and rewarded him with a September call-up. Lombardozzi, a 19th-round pick in 2008, hit .309 with eight home runs and 30 steals in 134 games combined between Class AAA Syracuse and Class AA Harrisburg. He made only two errors in 597 total chances playing mostly second base, with some action at shortstop and third base. Lombardozzi became the first Red Sox alumni to make his major league debut, walking in his first major league at-bat. "I'm just going to give him a little experience out there," said Nationals manager Davey Johnson. "Desi and Espi are my short and second combination. I'm not trying to confuse them about that situation -- but this kid can play. He can be a good part of the mix here... to me, he still projects like a starter candidate." Johnson, who compared Lombardozzi to a guy like Ben Zobrist -- who has played both second base and right field for the Tampa Bay Rays this season. "He's got a good pedigree," Johnson said. "His dad was a smart player, good player. He's not the same kind of player but he's an awful good player. He's kind of what I call a foxhole guy." Lombardozzi recorded his first major league hit on September 11th, the game winner against the New York Mets.

  ========================================================================================================== Five Red Sox Alumni Sign Professional Contracts
Christian Binford has signed with the Kansas City Royals. Had Binford not signed, he would be making final preparations to head to the University of Virginia, but the Royals were able to agree to terms with their 30th round pick just before the August 15th deadline.
“It’s surreal signing the contract,” said Binford. “Baseball is something I have loved all of my life. I want to be on the field every day. This is a dream come true,” he said. Coming off Tommy John surgery in 2009 for a torn ulnar collateral ligament, Binford made it all the way back into top form this season at Mercersburg Academy (PA) with a 9-2 record, a 0.57 earned run average, walking only seven and striking out 83 batters in 61 innings pitched. Opponents managed only 25 hits and he threw a no-hitter against the Peddie School. “Coach Shives helped me back from surgery from day one,” Binford said. “He tweaked my windup and helped get me back on the scouts' radar.”
The Newark Bears have announced that they have sold the contract of RHP T.J. Hose to the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox have assigned Hose to High Class A Salem Red Sox of the Carolina League. Hose was originally drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 36th Round of the 2008 MLB Draft. In his two seasons in the Diamondbacks organization, Hose compiled an 8-9 record with a 3.94 ERA. His best season came in 2009 with Class A South Bend of the Midwest League, where he earned an All-Star selection after going 3-2, with a 1.70 ERA, and 11 saves. Hose, a former East Carolina University star, went 8-2 with a 2.92 ERA in 14 starts for the Newark Bears this season.
Will Krasne has signed a professional contract with the Cleveland Indians. The former Mid-Atlantic Red Sox right-handed pitcher began his collegiate career at Stanford University (CA) before transferring to Rollins College (FL). After starring at Rollins College, Krasne worked out for several major league teams before he agreed to terms with Cleveland on a free agent contract.
  2007 Fallston High School graduate Mike Thomas was drafted in the 35th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Thomas signed and reported to the Arizona League Dodgers in June, where he pitched in 12 games, eight in relief and the final four as a starter. Thomas posted a 2-1 record with an ERA of 2.49. Since then, Thomas has been moved up in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system. Thomas is now a member of the Rookie Legaue Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer League.
Forest Park High School graduate Ryan Woolley signed Saturday with the Detroit Tigers. Detroit drafted Woolley in the 13th round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Draft. Woolley flew to report to the Connecticut Tigers, Detroit’s short-season team in the New York-Penn League. A senior pitcher at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, Woolley was a second-team all-Conference USA selection this season. He recorded a 7-6 record with a 3.06 ERA. Woolley led the conference with 106 innings pitched, the most by a Blazer since 1994, and his .229 opponent batting average ranked fourth in the league. He struck out 75 batters and walked just 29. Because he pitched so many innings this spring, Woolley said the Tigers plan to use him as a long-reliever this summer to give his arm a rest and give other pitchers who did not throw as much a chance to throw more. He is expected to be a starter next season. “I feel great, but I completely understand where they are coming from,” Woolley said. “It makes sense.” Woolley started the season with the Connecticut Tigers of the New York-Penn League where he posted an 0-2 record and 2.38 ERA over 11 games, 10 in relief. His success out of the Tigers' bullpen, where he recorded a better than 3:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio (18 strikeouts, five walks), led to a promotion to the Class A Midwest League. Upon promotion in which Woolley joined the West Michigan Whitecaps, he has made a total of three relief appearances. After a rough first outing, Woolley has totaled four innings over his last two stints, giving up just one unearned run, while striking out six and not walking a batter. On August 7th, Woolley recorded his first professional save, securing a 6-3 victory against the Great Lakes Loons. ========================================================================================================= Chad Diehl (2012, LHP; Westminster, MD)

  Shives to Coach with Team USA
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox Summer Head Coach Mark Shives has been selected as a roving pitching instructor with Team USA. In August, Shives will head to the USA Baseball Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina to work with the some of the best amateur pitchers in the country. Primarily working with the 16U National Team, Shives will also be utilized for the 18U National Team pitching staff. Shives pitched collegiately at Florida International University and professionally with the Kalamazoo Kodiaks of the Frontier League. Shives recently finished his first season at the helm of the Red Sox summer program and will rejoin the fall program after his work with Team USA.
=========================================================================================================
Fowler Named Head Coach for Red Sox Prospects Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni Danny Fowler was hired to be the Head Coach for the Red Sox Prospects team. Fowler played on the first two Red Sox teams in '99 and '00. An athletic middle infielder, Fowler continued his career as a four year starter at Mount St. Mary's University. A former assistant coach at South Hagerstown High School (MD), Fowler has served as an assistant coach for the Mid-Atlantic Red Sox since 2005. "Danny is one of the best young coaches in the area, and his experience with the Red Sox program and Division 1 baseball makes him the perfect fit to take over the Prospects team," said General Manager Allen Haines. The Red Sox Prospects team will replace last year's underclassmen team. The team will blend the best underclassmen in the Mid-Atlantic region with senior leadership.

Western Maryland Newspaper Profiles Mid-Atlantic Red Sox Local players help lead Red Sox into 17U World SeriesBy Tim Koelble - The Herald Mail
July 19, 2011
The Red Sox roster features several Tri-State youngsters, including Dylan and Logan Appel (Clear Spring), Ryan Butts (Williamsport), Andrew Yacyk (North Hagerstown), Jason Lombardozzi (Chambersburg) and Matt MacMahon (Mercersburg Academy). “It’s been fun coaching kids in which to start to prepare them for the college level,” said Shives. “Statistics aren’t the big thing. It’s more a showcase of baseball. It’s about being seen by scouts.” The Red Sox won a tournament in Pittsburgh earlier this summer and are coming off an 18U title at the Richmond (Va.) national championships. “Division I scouts are all over the place at these tournaments,” said Shives. “The players are seeing nothing but Division I-caliber pitching.” The Red Sox began 13 years ago, formed by Allen Haines, who teaches physical education at Boonsboro Middle School and coached at one time with Gene Kerns at Hagerstown Community College. “Baseball has been a love and as a parent I had the fortune of sons playing college ball and this was something I did to give back to the game,” said Haines, who serves as the Red Sox’s general manager. Shives said the area players are having good summers. “Logan and Andrew have been solid all summer,” he said. “Ryan has done a great job of catching and the relief pitchers like to pitch to him. Lombardozzi has played short and second base and has been great.” At the Richmond tournament, players used wooden bats and Butts connected on his first home run. The Red Sox will also play a fall schedule and Haines said he would have a “‘prospects team” added in the fall, to be coached by former South Hagerstown assistant Danny Fowler. =========================================================================================================

  ========================================================================================================= Red Sox Alumni Alex Frederick named Ripken League Player of the Week
  Alex Frederick (Armstrong Atlantic) of the Baltimore Redbirds has been named the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League Player of the Week for the week of June 20 to June 26. Frederick collected nine hits amidst a nine-game hit streak. He doubled twice, homered and drove in five runs for the week. Frederick also walked five times during the week without striking out, and scored four runs. He also stole three bases in as many attempts. The slick-fielding shortstop finished the week 9 for 16 (.563) and propelled the Redbirds to a five-game winning streak from June 24 to June 26 -- a streak that included back-to-back doubleheader sweeps. Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni and University of Virginia sophomore right-handed pitcher Branden Kline has been added to the 2011 USA Collegiate National Team roster. The finalist for the Stopper of the Year Award is one of 22 non-draft-eligible college players on the team.
Kline and Team USA will play a wide-ranging schedule against various collegiate league teams on the East Coast and cap the summer schedule against Japan at Omaha's TD Ameritrade Park. =========================================================================================================  Red Sox Start 2011 as Champions! The Mid-Atlantic Red Sox began the 2011 Summer Season with a bang. The Red Sox went 5-0 to dominate the field on their way to becoming the Pastime Tournament Champions at the University of Pittsburgh. Be sure to check out updates of the 2011 Summer Red Sox at www.midatlanticredsox.net =========================================================================================================   Branden Kline pitches Virginia to Omaha!
  Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni Branden Kline (Frederick, MD) was the winning pitcher in Monday's NCAA Super Regional clinching game, sending the University of Virginia to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.   A Sophomore, Kline has been tabbed as a finalist for the Stopper of the Year Award, presented by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Kline is one of five relief pitchers whittled down from 45 members of the midseason watch list. The award is presented to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I baseball.
Joining Kline as a finalist are Kent State's Kyle McMillen, East Tennessee State's Bo Reeder, Texas' Corey Knebel and South Carolina's Matt Price. Kline, registering a 4-1 record, earned third team All-America honors and has led No. 1 national seed Virginia to the College World Series. He has a 2.15 earned run average and 49 strikeouts over his 37.2 innings of work. He has allowed just seven earned runs, while holding opponents to a .202 batting average. Kline's 17 saves rank No. 4 in the nation, one off the national lead. His 17 saves also rank No. 2 all-time at Virginia for a season, one away from tying Kevin Arico's program-best 18 saves set last season. Update: Kline gave the nation a sneak-peek at his ability pitching multiple innings in the CWS elimination game against South Carolina. Kline came on in the top of the eighth-inning and tossed one scoreless inning after another. Five innings, and a game-high 107 pitches later, Kline relinquished the ball to Cody Winiarski. In that period, he allowed only three hits, worked his way around four walks and two HBPs and struck out seven. Kline, a 2009 sixth-round draft pick by the Red Sox, pitched the last two years out of the bullpen, saving a combined 21 games. This year he has posted a 55:22 K:BB ratio and a 1.88 ERA in 32 contests. For his efforts, Kline was rewarded with a spot on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association’s All-American First-Team. Kline has good size (6-3, 190) and is a former Louisville Slugger Maryland State Player of the Year. He throws in the low-to-mid 90s and complements his fastball with a curveball and a slider. ====================================================================================  Lombardozzi named Eastern League Player of the Week
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni and Harrisburg Senators second baseman Steve Lombardozzi has been named the Eastern League Player of the Week for the period of June 6th-June 12th. The 6'0", 170 lb. switch hitter batted .538 (14-for-26) with one double, one home run, eight runs scored, one RBI, three walks, two stolen bases and a .692 slugging percentage in seven games for the Washington Nationals Class AA afilliate last week. The 22-year old had multiple hits in five of the seven games he played in last week and he currently has a nine-game hitting streak during which he is hitting .500 with nine runs scored. Lombardozzi, who is a native of Fulton, Maryland, led all Eastern League players in hits (14), batting average (.538), runs scored (8) and OPS (1.292) last week. He also finished ranked among the weekly leaders in on-base percentage (.600-tied 1st), total bases (18-2nd), slugging percentage (.692-6th) and stolen bases (2-tied 6th). For the season Lombardozzi is tied for first in the league in triples (6), tied for second in hits (75) and ranked seventh in batting average (.316). Steve, who entered the 2011 season rated by Baseball America as the 13th best prospect in the Washington organization, was selected by the Washington Nationals in the 19th round of the 2008 draft out of St. Petersburg Junior College (FL). ======================================================================================================  5 Red Sox Alumni Selected in 2011 MLB Draft
The Mid-Atlantic Red Sox program has now had 30 players selected in the MLB First-Year Player Draft, including 21 in the last four years. The Red Sox have also had 5 players sign as undrafted free agents. The program’s rich 12-year tradition has produced over 300 collegiate baseball players from the Mid-Atlantic area.
     Ryan Woolley - Detroit Tigers, 13th Round
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni and University of Alabama Birmingham RHP Ryan Woolley was selected in the 13th round by the Detroit Tigers.
The senior right-hander earned second-team all-Conference USA honors after pitching a league-high 106 innings and ranking third in the league in lowest opponent batting average (.229). He was also tied for sixth in wins (six) and was eighth in strikeouts (75) and ninth in ERA (3.06).
Two minor adjustments made UAB senior Ryan Woolley an ace. He improved his delivery with pitching coach Josh Hopper toward the end of last season by "quieting" his front side, maintaining better control of his left arm. The second was thinking more pitch-to-pitch throughout games. "Whatever the adjustment, it's pretty cool," Woolley said. "It clicks with you and the next day you're painting both sides of the plate and you've got five miles per hour on your fastball. I've thrown better." Baseball America ranked him as a fifth-to-sixth round talent. In its preview of draft prospects, Baseball America wrote this about Woolley: “In 2011, Woolley finally figured out college baseball. While he can touch 94-95 mph with his fastball, he's better when he sits 90-92 with better life and command. He has cleaned up his delivery, helping him locate the ball down in the strike zone, and has done a better throwing his curveball and changeup for strikes. He's already 23 and profiles as a middle reliever.” The draft is nothing new to Woolley. He’s been selected twice before, in the sixth round by Atlanta in 2009 and last year in the 39th round by Texas. “I wanted to sign, but it wasn’t the right match,” Woolley said. “We were never really close to a deal. This year I feel good, there’s no pressure,” Woolley said. “I’m ready to go and work for them as soon as possible." Click Here to read an amazing story about Ryan's journey in baseball and in life.
   KJ Hockaday - Baltimore Orioles, 14th Round
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni KJ Hockaday was selected in the 14th round by the Baltimore Orioles.
Hockaday, who broke Mark Teixeira's high school career record for home runs with 31, was thrilled about the opportunity ahead of him. "Its every kid's dream to play in the major leagues," said Hockaday. "I'm excited; it's a great honor." KJ signed a National Letter of Intent to accept a scholarship to the University of Maryland and will have to decide whether to forego college for a professional contract.   Christian Binford - Kansas City Royals, 30th Round
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni and Mercersburg Academy (PA) right-handed pitcher Christian Binford was selected in the 30th round by the Kansas City Royals in the 2011 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. “I was on pins and needles all day,” said Binford. “It was a little later than I thought, but I’m overwhelmed by the opportunity to just say I was drafted. “I’m happy to be considered as a top player in the draft.”
Binford will be pitching somewhere in 2011, whether it is in the Royals farm system or at the University of Virginia, where he is set to attend in the fall. “I talked to UVA’s pitching coach, Karl Kuhn, to let him know I was drafted and they were very excited,” said Binford. “We’ll talk to the Royals and see where we go from here.” Binford worked out for Kansas City at Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium last week. “I was nervous like you would expect anyone would be, but I thought the workout went good,” said Binford. “Kansas City was the organization that showed the most interest from the very beginning of the process.” The 6-foot-7, 225-pound righthander came off Tommy John surgery to have an outstanding season at Mercersburg Academy (PA). He went 9-2 with a 0.57 earned run average. In 61 innings he allowed only 25 hits, seven walks and five earned runs while striking out 83. 
   
 Mike Thomas - Los Angeles Dodgers, 35th Round
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni and the Rider University career leader for wins and strikeouts, pitcher Mike Thomas, was drafted in the 35th round of the Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A 2011 magna cum laude Rider graduate, Thomas was 29-12 with 286 strikeouts. Over his last two seasons, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound lefty was 18-6 with a 190 strikeouts in 200 innings pitched.    Brendan Butler - Baltimore Orioles, 50th Round
Mid-Atlantic Red Sox alumni and John Carroll School outfielder Brendan Butler was selected in the 50th round by the Baltimore Orioles.
A second team All-Metro selection as a senior, Butler batted .481 with 13 doubles, nine home runs and 42 runs batted in. He also had an impressive .596 on-base percentage while leading the Patriots to a 20-5 record. A 6'2", 205-pound speedster, he finished his career with 39 doubles, four triples, 16 homers and 150 RBI's. Butler signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Towson University (MD). "We saw him for the first time last year," says Towson Coach Mike Gottlieb. "Last spring, he came to one of our games. Then, we followed him all summer with the Mid-Atlantic Red Sox. He was one of the first guys we signed in the Fall. "He is a versatile player with great speed," says Gottlieb. "He has the classic combination of power and speed. We could use him in the outfield or third base. Brendan could make quite an impact here next season." After being drafted, Butler has two options. He could attend Towson University to play baseball for the Tigers or sign with the Orioles to start his minor league career. =========================================================================================================
