With three teams taking the field for baseball this summer, Escalon High varsity baseball coach Greg Largent said it was a good way to see what the players will have to offer.“The A team was our projected varsity, the B team our projected JV team,” Largent explained. “This summer we tried an incoming freshman team, we got to spend more time with the incoming kids, they were our C team.”Enjoying the most success was the ‘B’ team, which Largent said played in a couple of tournament championships, while the ‘A’ team won more than they lost.“They learned a lot, we got some kids some playing time, experimented with some different positions,” Largent explained of the A team. “It’s still a work in progress.”Reaping the most benefits, though, were members of the ‘C’ team, getting a solid introduction to the sport at the high school level.“For four straight Mondays, we did a round robin workout from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.,” Largent explained.
