| New Rochelle (NY) HS shortstop Matt Duran rounds third after hitting one of his 10 HRs during the 2011 school year. |
New Rochelle (NY) High School slugger Matt Duran was selected in the 4th round (149th Overall) by the New York Yankees in the 2011 MLB Entry Draft.
Matt was a sophomore when I started coaching at New Ro High and is one of the hardest working HS ballplayers I've ever met. His sweet swing (with power to right center) will fit in nicely at the big ballyard in the Bronx, should he be lucky enough to get his cup of coffee with the big club.
Congratulations, Matty! Keep up all the hard work. We're all rooting for you.
Watch two of Matt's at bats against Horace Greeley HS. After the game, a Yankees scout watches a private round of batting practice thrown by yours truly.
