THE EYES OF AN EAGLE
HUBBARD, OH- In the latest episode of YSN’s podcast, hosts Anthony Hartwig and DJ Yokley sat down with Johnny Reyes, a senior standout of the Hubbard Eagles baseball team. Known affectionately as “Johnny Baseball,” Reyes is gearing up for his final high school season before taking his talents to the collegiate level.
Reyes, who is preparing to graduate soon, reflected on how quickly time has passed. “I only have 21 days left of school when I’m out of here,” he shared, revealing a mix of excitement and nostalgia as he counts down the final days.
Despite the challenges posed by unpredictable weather this baseball season, Reyes remains focused. He takes advantage of rainy days by honing his skills in practice, staying mentally and physically prepared for when the team finally hits the field.
Reyes attributes much of his success to relentless practice and a strong support system, including his parents and a dedicated travel coach. Their guidance has been pivotal in securing his commitment to play baseball at Grove City, where he plans to study nursing.
The hosts noted Johnny’s competitive spirit, especially evident when faced with formidable pitchers like teammates Braden Songer and Gabe Rusnak. Reyes’s tenacity is further highlighted by his determination to earn his spot on the field in college, as he prepares to leave behind the comforts of home, particularly his mom’s cooking, for this new chapter.
With his eyes set on the future and a drive to succeed, Johnny Reyes embodies the qualities of a true team player ready to soar to new heights. As the podcast wrapped up, both hosts expressed their eagerness to watch what this promising talent will accomplish in his final high school games and beyond.
