2 DTS Speed and Strength trained baseball players are All-Central Florida

Congrats to DTS Speed and strength trained baseball players Dante Bichette Jr. and Jay Gonzalez on being named to the All-Central Florida baseball defensive team.

Dante Bichette

Orangewood Christian


Strengths: Lauded by his coach as having "pro" defensive tools, Bichette possesses a monster arm and a soft glove.

Highlight reel: Bichette made a diving snag and an on-the-money throw to preserve a win against Tennessee David Lipscomb this year.

Quote: "He really anchors the corner. The kid does a tremendous job of fielding groundballs and making big plays, which he makes with his glove and his arm." — Alan Kunkel, Orangewood Christian coach


Center field

Jay Gonzalez

Freedom


Strengths: The Auburn commit has top-flight speed and the ability to track down almost any ball. He has a pretty good arm, too.



Highlight reel: Gonzalez powered a 2-1 win over Stuart Martin County, throwing out the potential tying run at home plate with two outs in the last inning.
Quote: "Defense plays a huge role for us. If you have a strong defense, then you can win every game. It all starts with having a zero on the board." — Gonzalez
