MSA - Don Deeble Award
The Don Deeble Rising Star winner for August was Roman Coote.
Following on from 2023, when Roman was selected in Baseball Victoria’s U16 team as a bottom age player, Roman gained selection in the Team Australia U16 team that will travel to the USA to compete in the Perfect Game World Series in Atlanta. This tournament offers athletes the opportunity to compete against NCAA Division 1 athletes and Major League prospects.
Roman works hard to combine his studies and training at MSA and Baseball Victoria’s pathway program. Roman’s focus is to gain an Australian Baseball League contact, make the Australian Under 23 team and potentially the Olympic Games. In the long term, Roman would like to earn an MLB contract!
The Don Deeble Rising Sports Star Award is sponsored by MSA partner, Sunshine & Western Region Sports Club.
