Mississippi RBI

So sad to hear Kedryn “Peter Rabbit” Wright has passed away.

I’ve never met a funnier person. He kept the mood light at all times and could do dozens of impressions. Hate that we hadn’t spoken in years…

He gave his life to Christ in Little Rock, Arkansas during one of our tournament weeks. I pray I get to talk to him again one day.

A good player despite being 5-7 150, he caught the last out of one of our biggest summer league wins in Dallas. I always remember him freaking out over that.

He was loved by many and will be missed by people from all walks of life, I’m sure.

⚾️Great memories of a special time with a bunch of great players.
This will hang in my office forever!

Another summer of ministry work wrapped up a couple of weeks ago. Many thanks to Ed Gardner for the excellent photography.

Mississippi RBI's 5th consecutive trip to the SW Regional Championship Game. Houston RBI advanced to the RBI World Series by defeating the reigning regional champs, Mississippi RBI.

Van #1 loaded up and heading to Houston for the RBI Southwest Regional tournament. Games start tomorrow. We'll keep y'all updated.

Jarred Scott returns to his 2nd RBI SW regional tournament with MS RBI. A Meridian CC signee, Scott has worked hard to improve his game and he will definitely have an impact as a freshman.

Scott won a $20,000 college scholarship from Major League Baseball's national RBI office. He leads by example and continues a long line of Meridian HS players in MS RBI.

Five more players, Darrius Wright, DeMarcus Evans, Donte Peters, Lako Wilson and Man-Man Cameron, have been named to the annual Mississippi RBI regional all-star team. The team is selected from the annual summer league teams. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram for more updates.

The third of 15 players on the RBI Regional Tournament team is also the youngest. Yazoo County HS sophomore Talyn Shaffer can play anywhere on the diamond.

A great defensive player, the 6-foot 205 lb Shaffer, has two YC teammates on the squad. More on them later.

The 2nd of 15 RBI regional tournament players is CJ Newsome of Columbia HS. A 2015 graduate, Newsome is a true speed and power combo prospect. One of the fastest players in the state of Mississippi, CJ will set the table for the middle of the order bats behind him.

The Houston Astros RBI program will host the Southwest region tournament July 24-27.
