Christopher Backus

Westlake has two terrific sophomore baseball players in 6-foot-4 first baseman Dylan Lee and 6-5 catcher Holden Backus. They're going to be hitting lots of home runs over the next two seasons.

Great league finale for the boys. Co-Marmonte league champs! C Atkinson 7IP 7K W(5-1) 3H(2B) RBI 4R B Miller 2H(2B) 2R J Moore 2H 2RBI 2R J Neckien H(2B) 2RBI 3R H Backus 2H 4RBI R C Stewart H(2B) 2RBI J Urbas 2H RBI R K Kuna 2H RBI R

Really like the direction Backus is trending Added 10-15 lbs of strength on impressive frame Swing has cleaned up - more direct while still showing impact Smooth w/glove on receive & agile in block Arm is a real tool Must see in ‘28 class @ShooterHunt / @holden_backus8

Probably the most honest and truthful assessment you will hear on Trump’s State of the Union address. I’m aware Ezra Klein is an acquired taste for some, but don’t let that get in the way of listening to the truth. With thanks to the New York Times Opinion desk for the clip. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNR5WL5o4/
