Better Know a Miller: Oliver Evenson

Better Know a Miller turns its attention to Ollie Evenson, who while not playing for the Millers, competed on the sixth-grade version of So You Think You Can Dance? (see below)









Name: 
Ollie Evenson
Number: 10
School: Annunciation
Primary positions: 1B, P

Ginger. Big Red. The Big Lefty. Jose. Ollie has nearly as many nicknames as he does freckles. Olllie is known for the wicked movement on his fastball, his blazing speed, his moon shots down the right field line, and the shredded, blood caked knees of his baseball pants. This kid sure does bleed a lot. We're in trouble if we run into a vampire team in Cooperstown.

2012 season high point: Tough call between 2 innings of nothing but Ks vs Anoka and the game where his knees stopped bleeding for 15 minutes.
2012 season low point: During warmups at GSTC, hit an old woman with an errant throw.
Weird habit worth mentioning: Ollie has that Will Ferrell thing going, where whatever he does is funny, even if he's dead serious. At one preseason practice Ollie was asked to demonstrate bunting technique. He laid down a perfect bunt, but half the team fell to the ground laughing.
Most likely to get kicked out of Cooperstown Dreams Park for: Uniform violation. Cooperstown Dreams Park bans bleeding. It is unpatriotic.
