Waterford Baseball in Los Angeles
One of Waterford High's pitchers will be pitching for Los Angeles Angels.
Colin O’Keefe is a name many Waterford residents had heard during baseball season as the high school pitcher was striking out opponents and now the world will be hearing his name as he pitches for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
According to a report in The Day, O’Keefe was taken in the 33rd round and signed a contract with the major league baseball team on Wednesday after three seasons at Virginia Tech.
O’Keefe told reporters at The Day, ‘Not I just get to focus on baseball every day. I just want to go out and throw as well as I can.’
