“ ”VYPE: Let’s talk about your teammates. Which player on your team would you not want to go up against? Who is the fastest? Who keeps everyone laughing?
BW: If there was anyone I wouldn’t go up against my first pick would probably be Tanner Dickson as he is the ace pitcher on our team. I’m the fastest, although Connor Pierce challenges me for that. I would say Jay Depler is the loudest in the dugout as he always keeps the team loud and hyped up. I would say Nathan Dean is probably the funniest as he’s always got a joke to say.
