Earlier today, the Captains had a hitters meeting on the field in which the Lake County players congratulated Johnathan.

"Things just started to click" said Captains hitting coach Chris Smith. "Johnathan put in the hard work, with more preparation, looking at scouting reports on how to attack pitchers and good intent in the box in practice that has translated to the game."
