(June 5, 2006)  Ricky Reavis is responsible for 5 of the 11 runs that contributed to the Skagit Eagle’s win over the Kitsap Blue Jackets on Tuesday June 13^th.  Reavis’ bat was hot, going 5-5 including 3 singles, a 2-run homerun, and a double; contributing to 5 runs batted in. 

    Eagle’s General Manager, Dan Keller raved, “Ricky is a hard working, blue collar athlete.  Not real flashy but he gets the job done.  Ricky is one of the most fundamentally sound players that I have ever coached.”

    As to what is to be expected from Reavis this summer with the Eagles, Keller said, “I am going to work Ricky into the line-up at 2nd base this summer, but he may also be called upon to play 3rd, or LF.  One of the great things about Ricky is his versatility.  He can play any spot in the infield (except catcher/pitcher), and can run down balls great in the OF.”

    Keller worked with Reavis at Skagit Valley CC this past year where he was unanimously voted MVP of the NWAACC North. His Skagit Valley College Batting Average climbed to.471 by the end of the spring season, contributing to his commitment to play baseball next year for the University of Washington Huskies.
