Gavin
Collins

A standout two-way player for Capistrano Valley, Collins impressed both on the mound and at the plate during Capistrano Valley’s latest game. He took the ball and started on the mound, going three strong innings, and showing a clear ability to adjust as the game went on. After a bit of a shaky first inning, Collins settled in and showed why he’s a pitcher to watch. His fastball and curveball combination proved to be highly effective, keeping hitters off balance and generating plenty of weak contact. Once he found his rhythm, his stuff seemed to get sharper with each inning, and he was able to rack up strikeouts with ease. While Gavin impressed on the mound, he didn’t stop there. He would go on to have a great day at the plate, in his first at-bat he would lace a solid single to center field. In an important moment in the game, Collins came through with a crucial RBI double down the third base line. This clutch hit played a big role in Capistrano Valley’s ability to mount a comeback. In addition to his offensive contributions, Collins also added a stolen base and a walk to his stat line, rounding out an incredible day on the field and showcasing his versatility as a player.
