Barry Powers: The Wonder from Down Under (RTTS)

[tlowe77]

Now that Barry has made The Show, I will just do a quick recap of series. I want to get him through as many seasons as possible, I will be doing an interview with him towards the end of this season so everyone can find out what Barry want's to achieve in his career.

Barry Powers 1st (of many) Major League Game:


This is what he had been playing for all of his short life.

He had made it to the show quicker then anyone could of predicted, he smash the competition in the Double A's Southern League but the Majors was a whole different kettle of fish. He knew he probably wouldn't bat .500 but that doesn't mean he wouldn't try.

Barry Powers believes he is the best and wants to prove he is the best, not just of the era he will play in but of all time!



"Do you think this is a desperate move by an organisation that is struggling? I understand he is a fan favorite and sportscenter loves him but he is only 18 with 50 games of Double A ball under his belt. I just hope they haven't rushed him and it wrecks his potentially great career."


"Look at all the fans trying to get a ball signed by this young man. He defiantly has handled all of the media and fan attention well for someone so young.


"That didn't take long Rays fans, his first AB, first pitch and he drives it into left field for his first Major League hit!"


"OH MY! That ball is ouuttttaaa heerrreeeeee! BARRY POWERS HAS ARRIVED LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!"


What a game from our young rising star! He goes 3 from 4, gets a home run and helps the Rays beat the Red Sox 7 to 5.


Rest of the series....



Powers draws his first MLB walk. A skill that many said he didn't have.



"And he goes BANG! That is Powers second home run already! This kid has so much power it must have something to do with the name!"


The Tampa Bay Rays sweep the Boston Red Sox in the 3 game series helping them close the gap between them and 1st place by 3 games.

The Rays look to have feed of the passion the young up and coming star in Barry Powers as they final got there bats going for a whole series.

Barry Powers Highlights:




When laying out for a catch is your only highlight in 3 games you know you had a bad series. Has Barry Powers been thrown into the Major Leagues to soon? His strikeout total is hit, his on-base percentage is low. He needs to flick the switch soon or he could find himself back in the minor leagues before he knows it.
