Celebrating Excellence: Lady Titan’s Seniors Named First County Bank Athlete of the Month

First County Bank Athlete of the Month Lady Titans

At Bobby Valentine’s Sports Academy, we take immense pride in the growth and accomplishments of our athletes. This month, we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on a group of exceptional young women who have been integral parts of the Lady Titans program. As they prepare to embark on their college journeys, we want to celebrate their time with us and the bright futures that lie ahead!

Brianna Cardona (BRI BRI)

Brianna, affectionately known as “Bri Bri,” joined the Lady Titans program at the age of 12. From day one, she has been a beacon of team spirit—always cheering, laughing, and having a great time with her teammates. On the field, Bri is a versatile player, excelling as a pitcher, first baseman, and occasionally in right field. Her dedication is unmatched; she can often be found at BVSA putting in extra work, whether it’s hitting, working out, or just getting more reps.

This summer, Bri faced 275 batters, giving up 59 hits and ending the season with an impressive 3.9 ERA. We are incredibly proud of all Bri has accomplished as a Lady Titan and can’t wait to see her continue her academic and athletic career at Western New England!

Yael Everett (YA YA)

Another original member of the Lady Titans, Yael “Ya Ya” Everett, has been with the program since she was 12. A formidable pitcher and strong middle infielder, Yael brings a fierce “don’t mess with me” attitude to the mound that has made her a force to be reckoned with. This summer, she faced 201 batters, giving up only 40 hits, striking out 61, and finishing the season with an outstanding 3.60 ERA. Additionally, as a switch hitter, she ended the season with a .396 batting average.

Yael has been a cornerstone of the Lady Titans, and we know she will continue to excel at Hamilton College next year. We can’t wait to see her crush it on the field and in the classroom.

Aurora Levesque (Roary)

Aurora, known as “Roary,” joined the Lady Titans 16U team with no prior experience on a travel team. Despite this, she quickly became an essential part of the team, primarily as a catcher, but also playing outfield or first base when needed. This summer, Roary led the team in hitting, boasting a .426 batting average, 17 RBIs, and 8 doubles.

Beyond her stats, Roary is known for her sarcastic humor and dry, monotone cheering voice, bringing a unique energy to the team. Whether working out or getting extra hitting reps at BVSA, she has shown incredible dedication. We are thrilled to see Roary continue her athletic and academic journey at Springfield College.

Lauren Davis (Dave)

Lauren “Dave” Davis has been a key player for the Lady Titans for three years. As a utility player, she demonstrated incredible versatility, playing every position except catcher. Dave’s cool, calm, and collected personality made her a reliable presence on the field. This summer, she maintained a .325 batting average and was a defensive powerhouse, committing only one error.

We are excited to see what the future holds for Dave as she continues her softball career at Williams College. Her contributions to the Lady Titans have been invaluable, and we know she will make a significant impact at the next level.

Abby Seeberger

Abby joined the Lady Titans two years ago, but it feels like she has been part of the team forever. Primarily playing third base, Abby also stepped up to catch when needed. She ended the summer season with a .310 batting average, consistently delivering clutch hits when the team needed them most. Known for her aggressive base running and fearless approach to taking the extra base, Abby has been an all-around incredible teammate. Her energy and spirit, from pumping up the team with EDM music to dancing before games, have been infectious.

Although Abby will not be playing softball in college, we are excited to see her tear it up in club sports at Fordham University. Her journey with the Lady Titans may be ending, but her impact on the team will be felt for years to come. 

Thank you!

These five outstanding athletes have left an indelible mark on the Lady Titans program. We are so proud of their accomplishments, both on and off the field, and we can’t wait to see what they achieve in the next chapters of their lives. Thank you, Bri, Yael, Roary, Dave, and Abby, for your dedication, hard work, and the unforgettable memories you’ve created at BVSA. We wish you all the best as you continue your journeys!

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 53

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 53

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 53

Hello everybody, and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I am your host, Frank Ramppen, and let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. Yesterday, June 2nd, marked Lou Gehrig Day, honoring all those who have lost their lives and are battling ALS, and remembering the legendary career of the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig. Yesterday was also Daryl Strawberry Bobblehead Day, following the retirement of his number at Citi Field. As tradition holds, a bobblehead in New York means it’s going to be on the table, so Daryl Strawberry, welcome to the squad. To commemorate him, I’m wearing my Daryl Strawberry jersey today. His number 18 will never be worn by a Met again, and yesterday, fans received a bobblehead to celebrate.

Now, let’s dive into the stat of the week. We’re in the full swing of baseball season, and college baseball is in the thick of playoffs. The regionals started this past weekend, and what an incredible weekend of games it was. On Friday, there were six walk-offs in one day, with three of them being walk-off home runs. This was the most on any day in college baseball since 1999. It was an unbelievable first day of the regionals, with ten walk-offs over the weekend so far, and still six more games to go today. The record for walk-offs in a regional round is 12, so there’s a good chance it could be broken after this weekend. College baseball has been unbelievably fun to watch, and if you haven’t been watching, you’re missing out.

Now, let’s go to our play of the week. There was a lot of great outfield play throughout the week, and this one actually came in at number two on the MLB top 10. Ian Happ smokes one to center field, and Blake Perkins, ranging back, lays out on the warning track, diving into the fence to make an unbelievable catch to rob extra bases. What a jump, what a play, giving up his body with full-out extension. He slammed the side of his head into the wall, and thankfully it was at the end of his slide, not full speed, but still, wow.

Breaking Down Ángel Hernández’s WORST CALLS!!!

Breaking Down Ángel Hernández's WORST CALLS!!!

Breaking Down Ángel Hernández’s WORST CALLS!!!

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host, Frank Ramppen. In this episode, we have some significant news: Angel Hernandez has retired from Major League Baseball after 34 years of umpiring. Love him or hate him, Angel Hernandez has been a polarizing figure in Major League Baseball for the last 34 years. One of the mainstay figures over the last three decades of baseball has finally retired, and we’re going to have to do a breakdown video on his career.

Angel Hernandez is well known for having had a number of questionable calls over his career, both behind the plate and on the base paths. He began his career in 1991 as a call-up umpire and became a full-time umpire in the major leagues in 1993. Over his career, he worked three All-Star games—in 1999 at Fenway Park, in 2009, and in 2017. He also umpired 12 Division Series, eight Championship Series, and two World Series in 2002 and 2005. Angel Hernandez has seen a lot of baseball over his time, but he finally hangs up his gear.

Born in Havana, Cuba, in August 1962, Angel Hernandez’s family moved to Hialeah, Florida, when he was just 14 months old. He began umpiring at a very young age, starting in the KY league in St. Louis as a teenager. In 1981, he began umpiring in the Florida State League, his first professional job at 18 years old, where he made $900 a month.

Angel Hernandez has been an umpire for basically his entire life. He moved to the Carolina League in 1984 and was promoted to the Southern League in 1986, earning a raise to $1,800. He reached the top level of minor league baseball in the American Association in 1988, where he was paid $2,200. Hernandez has been a lifer in umpiring, whether it be in the major leagues, minor leagues, or other leagues that weren’t even considered professional.

In May 1991, he got his first call-ups to the major leagues as a substitute for a full-time umpire.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 52

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host, Frank Ramppen, and let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. I recently made a quick trip over the past week and a half, visiting five MLB stadiums for five games in five different cities. One of them is proudly represented by the logo across my chest right here.

It started off in Miami, my last day down in Florida after moving out of school. I went to a Miami Marlins game on Friday night. Then I came back to New York on Tuesday and went to Citi Field to catch a Mets game. I saw Aaron Nola throw a complete game shutout in 106 pitches, his fourth career complete game shutout. On Friday night, I attended a Yankees game where I saw Aaron Judge hit a homer in the first inning, Giancarlo Stanton hit a homer, and saw two doubles from Stanton. Pretty exciting stuff.

After that, I flew out to California to visit my brother and went to a Giants game on Sunday. I watched the Giants take down the Rockies with Matt Chapman playing some incredible third base. It was part of his stretch where he had seven consecutive hits in seven at-bats. To cap it all off, on Tuesday I attended a game in Oakland between the Rockies and A’s. It was a great game, and I have a fun fact about that one.

So, let’s dive right into it: five games, five cities, all in about a week and a half. That’s why we missed last week, but let’s move into this week’s stat of the week.

Don Mattingly, the great Yankees legend, was one of the few Yankees legends who did not win a World Series. In 1987, he set an MLB record by hitting six grand slams in a single season. Six grand slams in one season is an MLB record that still stands today. Mattingly had a very long career, but in the five seasons before 1987, he hit zero grand slams, and in the five seasons after 1987, he hit zero grand slams. So, he hit six grand slams in 1987 and didn’t have a single other one for his entire career. Pretty incredible stuff.

Now, let’s go to the play of the week. It’s going to take us to the south side of Chicago, where the Baltimore Orioles just took on the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 51

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host, Frank Ramppen, back in the home studio with all the lovely pieces of memorabilia on the wall. Let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. It’s the second week of May, and Mother’s Day was yesterday. There were lots of great Mother’s Day baseball games. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there, including my mom.

Let’s start off with the play of the week. This one takes us out to Atlanta, Georgia, in a game between the Red Sox and the Braves. Chris Sale was on the bump, and Garrett Cooper was at the dish. Cooper got into a slider from Sale, lifting it high and deep to left field. Kellick went back to the track, to the wall, sized it up, leaped, and brought the home run back. The timing of the jump by Jared Kellick was unbelievable. He got to the spot, timed it perfectly, leaped, and looked like he didn’t even know he had caught it. When he realized the ball was in the webbing, he lost his mind. It was an unbelievable play from Jared Kellick. Chris Sale loved it, almost gave up a homer there but not to be.

Jared Kellick and the Braves have been playing some pretty good baseball lately, but not as good as their counterparts in the division, the Philadelphia Phillies, who have been the hottest team in baseball along with the Twins. The Phillies currently have the best record in baseball. Now, Jared Kellick made an unbelievable play, so let’s go to our game of the week. This one was on Saturday: Pirates versus Cubs. It was the very highly anticipated debut of Paul Skenes, the number one overall pick in last year’s MLB draft, finally coming up to pitch for the big club in Pittsburgh. This was a huge event, likely a sellout crowd in Pittsburgh on May 11th. The crowd was absolutely rocking, it was unbelievable.

Skenes came out to take the mound for his first inning of work. Top of the first inning, PNC Park was buzzing. The first batter he faced was Mike Tauchman, and he blew him away with a 101 mph fastball. See you later, first batter, first strikeout for the big man Paul Skenes. All five of the four-seam fastballs he threw in that first at-bat to Mike Tauchman were over 100 mph, showing that he was locked in and ready to go immediately. He did not stop there.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 50

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I’m your host Frank Ramppen. Let’s dive into another week of the baseball season.

So first week of May under the belt, players of the week for the first week of May. Brent Rooker of the Oakland A’s had a .438 batting average over 1600 OPS, 3 home runs on the week, 7 RBIs. Two of those home runs came in the bottom of the third inning, same inning on Saturday in a 20-4 route of the Miami Marlins. So the Oakland A’s playing way better baseball than anybody could really imagine and Brent Rooker one of the best hitters in baseball at the moment.

National League player of the week, no surprise, Shohei Ohtani. He’s been the best player in all of baseball for pretty much the first month and a little bit of the season. He’s been unbelievable, hitting .524 over the week, north of 1500 OPS, three home runs as well, six runs scored, seven RBIs, two stolen bases. I mean, the guy is just absurd, hit another home run last night after two on Sunday, just an absolute freak. He can’t be stopped right now, just tattooing National League pitching.

Let’s go to the play of the week. This takes us to Petco Park in San Diego. Manny Machado stays on a breaking ball, lifts it high and deep in the air to right field. Stuart Fairchild onto the track at the wall, leaps and brings it back. Oh my goodness, what a play by Stuart Fairchild to bring back a homer. And have we seen something like this before? Maybe 2017 World Baseball Classic, same stadium, same batter, Petco Park, Manny Machado back when he was on the Orioles. High flyball, deep center field when he was playing for the team Dominican against Team USA and his former teammate Adam Jones made a similar play to rob him of a home run in field. So Petco Park, now Manny Machado’s home field as now he’s a Padre. Similar play happens to him, robs the homer, Stuart Fairchild, unbelievable, what a play.

So now we go from the play of the week to the game of the week.

The Bobby Valentine Sport Show: Episode 49

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of The Bobby Valentine Sport Show. I am your host Frank Ramppen. Let’s dive into another week of the MLB season. So, a little bit of a hiatus here on The Bobby Valentine Sport Show but that’s just because I’m graduating college, just trying to get all my stuff ready to go. But we’ll be back every single week now for the rest of the season.

A full month of the MLB season is in the books now. It started on March 28th, today is May 1st, so over a month into the season. April is gone and what a month it has been. Some surprising good starts, some surprising bad starts for some teams. We’ll break it all down for you but let’s start how we always do with our play of the week.

So, this one’s going to take us out to Detroit, bottom of the third inning here. Parker Meadows at the dish, Seth Lugo on the bump for the Royals. Kansas City one nothing, Royals here, 2-2 count to Parker Meadows. Meadows is going to lift one high and deep in the air to right field. Runner leads off first going back, Adam Frasier leaps at the wall and brings it back. Couple shuffle steps, fires back into first, one hop on the bag, double play. What a turn from Adam Frasier, leaps at the wall, times it just perfect, elbow above the yellow line, brings back the homer. What an athletic play from Adam Frasier. I mean Adam Frasier, utility player, played a lot of second base in his career, that’s his primary position. I mean not really an outfielder making an unbelievable play to rob a homer from Parker Meadows. Great great play from him out in the outfield.

Now from the game of our play of the week to the game of the week now. And I mean I’ve been a little bit slacking two game of the weeks this week. First one, this past Sunday Night Baseball at Fenway excuse me, two of the most historic franchises in baseball meeting at a historic venue in Fenway Park, oldest in all baseball. Connor Wong in the bottom of the first inning grounds one back up the middle, RBI single opens up the scoring for the Sox in the first. Good piece of hitting there on the slider, working away, just pounds that one back up the middle right back where it came from. And I always love to watch the interviews that they do with the players in the field on Sunday night. This week was Tyler O’Neal, had him out there in left, and Tanner Ha who had an unbelievable week of pitching or month of pitching honestly in the month of April along with the entire Red Sox staff. He was out there, struck out the side, so didn’t have too much to hear from Tyler O’Neal.
