We were in the studio talking Valley League Baseball today with Head Coach, Nate Ramsey, Assistant Coach, Joe Grato, and Outfielder, Jacob Hirsh with Strasburg Express. We talked about the VBL, where the players and coaches come from, the importance of host families and how coaching players from all over the country for the summer is a unique experience. Coach Ramsey & Coach Grato also talked about their coaching style and what, as full time coaches at  Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, they look for in a player. Outfielder, Jacob Hirsh also gave us his perspective about playing in the VBL and what his short term (and long term) playing goals are. Their next game is tonight at First Bank Park in Strasburg against the Woodstock River Bandits. It begins at 7pm. For a full schedule of their games, click here.
