Reagan High catcher ready to play ball

Steven Pizano

Q: Who is your favorite athlete?
A: Ivan Rodriguez, the old catcher for the Detroit Tigers. He was always dedicated to the game. He was always wanting to help his team.
Q: Who inspires and motivates you the most?
A: Probably my father because he helps me through everything -- in sports, in school -- he's always on me to make sure I'm always doing the right stuff that I need to do.
Q: What are your goals for this season?
A: Just to have a good year. We probably won't have as good a season as we did last year, but we want to compete and win as many games as we can and go deep into the playoffs.
Q: What is your pre-game routine like?
A: Before every game, the whole team prays together for no one to get hurt and for everybody to have a good game.
