Cincinnati<br />

<strong>Mets</strong><br />

It was a warm and early Sunday morning.<br />

The sun was shining brightly over the left<br />

field. We got to the field and the whole<br />

other team was there already practicing<br />

and ready to go, and we just started<br />

tossing. We started warming up and our<br />

coach came by and said wow you guys are<br />

looking tired, and we were. We had three<br />

games the day before and the other team<br />

only had 2 because they got a bye. The<br />

game started very slow for our team with a<br />

2:4 score and we were losing.<br />

Both of our hits were so far were triples<br />

and they both ended up scoring. We had no<br />

more hits for the next 2 innings. The final<br />

score ended up to be 7:4.<br />

VS<br />

Hilliard<br />

Panthers<br />

The Hilliard Panthers have apparently a<br />

very long history behind their name and<br />

the coaches. They were created in 1997<br />

from “a growing and thriving community.”<br />

There idea of the name Panthers came<br />

about due to the need for additional<br />

opportunities for those boys that wanted to<br />

play baseball at a higher level of difficulty<br />

than what was offered by the recreational<br />

league, which they were currently in. With<br />

the rapid population exploding in Hilliard,<br />

it was easy for some to see that more<br />

opportunities were needed in the<br />

community.<br />

2019<br />

Projections<br />

2019 projections: Last year we won 40<br />

games lost 13 and tied 2. This year we are<br />

expecting to play around 65 games overall<br />

and about 10-20 tournaments. We also got<br />

moved up to a league called Premium, it is<br />

a higher league than gold but lower than<br />

national. It will much harder than last year<br />

so we will have to step up our game. Our<br />

coach described it as a target on our backs<br />

like teams are coming for us and gonna<br />

give us there all since we are 2 time mets<br />

team tournament winners and state and<br />

won a bunch more tournaments.

ANDERSON METS


The Story<br />

Behind<br />

One<br />

AMAZING<br />

Head Coach


Head coach Pete Muehlenkamp<br />

Head coach Pete Muehlenkamp is not head coach for just one team. Yes, Pete coaches two teams. He<br />

coaches the Anderson <strong>Mets</strong>, and his former team the Sycamore Aviators. The Anderson <strong>Mets</strong> is<br />

currently a 13U team, and the Aviators is a high school varsity team. Pete Muehlenkamp went to<br />

Sycamore when he was in high school, and played baseball there. He graduated From Wisconsin<br />

University, and started coaching his first team in 1992. His first team he coaches was the junior high<br />

school sycamore baseball team.<br />

Inspiration<br />

Pete was very inspired to even start baseball because of former baseball player Pete Rose. He was<br />

amazed on how the game was played and how it worked. As pete grew up he still played the game, and<br />

in high school his he met his head coach Steve Imhoff. He was one of the best coaches Pete has ever<br />

seen. Steve's amazing coaching inspired Pete<br />

to coach when he grows up. And that's what<br />

he did. Pete now coaches with Steve imhoff<br />

at Sycamore High school. Steve has stayed<br />

at Sycamore all these years and is now<br />

coaching with a player that he used to<br />

coach himself.<br />

All Star has been around since<br />

day one of baseball. They were<br />

one of the few companies that<br />

made baseball gear and it’s one of<br />

the most popular baseball brands<br />

yet today. For many reason but<br />

the 2 main reasons are the quality<br />

of the gear and the price. Allstar is<br />

very affordable with all of their<br />

Letter to reader<br />

Hello, our names are<br />

Nick Lewis, Leo<br />

Muehlenkamp, and<br />

Parker Elliff, and we<br />

play baseball for the<br />

Cincinnati <strong>Mets</strong>. We<br />

love baseball. All three<br />

of us have been<br />

playing together for 4<br />

years. We all have<br />

been playing baseball<br />

since we basically<br />

could. It is our favorite<br />

thing to do not only<br />

play but hanging out<br />

outside of baseball.<br />

I, Leo Muehlenkamp<br />

fell in love in baseball<br />

just watching the<br />

Cincinnati Reds on<br />

TV. My dad has been<br />

the varsity head coach<br />

for many different high<br />

schools and has taught<br />

me many things I need<br />

to know. I started<br />

playing baseball as a<br />

Tball player when I<br />

was very little, and has<br />

not stopped playing<br />

since.


My name is Nick<br />

and I have been in<br />

love with baseball<br />

ever since I started<br />

playing it. I am<br />

mainly a pitcher,<br />

catcher, and<br />

outfielder. My<br />

favorite position is<br />

probably catcher. I<br />

would not be where<br />

i am today if i was<br />

not on the mets, not<br />

only because of<br />

playing baseball<br />

but the people that<br />

are on the team.<br />

My name is Parker<br />

Elliff. The first time I<br />

played baseball I knew<br />

that this was going to<br />

be my favorite sport. I<br />

play Outfield, Infield<br />

and I pitch. If I did not<br />

play on the <strong>Mets</strong> I am<br />

not sure where I would<br />

be with baseball, not<br />

only did the <strong>Mets</strong><br />

make me better at<br />

baseball, but the<br />

people on the team<br />

made me a better<br />

person.
