It was a great weekend for IE Baseball! Most youth teams were in action this weekend, with the majority of the teams playing in the Triple Crown Sports KC Slugfest at Legacy Park in Lee’s Summit.

Wolfe Weeks, who plays for 16 Red, is a standout student at Lee’s Summit West. The 2019 graduate currently has a 4.1 GPA and starts at pitcher or first base for the West JV team.

Nick, who plays catcher, first base, and outfield, also tells how the motto, “Break it down to what you know,” has helped him earn a spot on the Varsity team every year that he has been at Truman.

And like a true traditionalist, John doesn’t like the designated hitter rule. We sat down with him to learn what drives his traditional sense of baseball.
