Diamondbacks’ Cory Hahn had pro-level ability
The Corona, California native not only played outfield and was a southpaw on the mound for Mater Dei High School, but he was a fixture of the 2009 USA Baseball U-18 roster alongside current MLB greats Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. The all-star team won gold at the COPABE “AAA” Pan Am Junior Championships in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
Hahn batted .333 (5-for-15) for four RBIs in six games for Team USA. He even bettered Philadelphia Phillies superstar Harper in plate efficiency (.294) but the first baseman already showed signs of power hitting with 12 RBIs and 20 total bases in eight starts.
“There are times I still think I should be on the field,” Hahn told Baseball America. “That has been the biggest hurdle for me to understand, but also it’s OK to still feel that way. That’s probably the biggest difference and the hardest challenge at times.”
Hahn received many heartfelt congratulations
The young scout was met with love from a variety of baseball and sports personalities:
