By the time Marcus Stroman<\/strong> stepped foot in Patchogue-Medford<\/strong> HS, he was already a household name within the inner circles of baseball scouts. He had played varsity as an eighth grader and dominated players much older than him.<\/p>\n

Another player, that is 10 years younger, has the type of skillset that can make scouts drool in a similar way.<\/p>\n

He has yet to play in a varsity game, but pretty soon everyone will know who his is.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n <\/p>\nJason Diaz<\/strong>, a 2019 graduate of Kellenberg<\/strong>, is beginning the year on the JV team but cannot be ignored much longer. Not after touching 87 MPH with his fastball at 14-years-old, and not\u00a0if he accomplishes his goal that he has set for himself this year.<\/p>\n“I want to make the Team USA 15U team,” said Diaz. “There’s nothing better than representing my country while playing the game I love,” he added.<\/p>\nHe began playing the game he loves at the age of 4 and he stated it was the “best decision I’ve ever made”.<\/p>\nBoth of his parents are from the Dominican Republic–a hot bed for producing Major League Baseball players.
