Better Know a Miller: Wyatt Deyoung

Batting 4th in the Better Know a Miller lineup is Wyatt Deyoung, a natural-born cleanup hitter if there ever was one.







Name:
Wyatt Deyoung
Number: 13
School: Anthony
Primary positions: SS, P

Wyatt is counted on to anchor the infield at SS, pitch to contact, get on base with his quick bat, and lift heavy objects. Despite his size or lack thereof, Wyatt hit one out during the team's Homerun Derby (and was narrowly robbed of two others). Rumors that during the Homerun Derby he was allowed to hit the ball, pick it up where it landed, and hit it again, are completely false.

2012 season high point: Pitched 6 brilliant innings en route to winning the Eastridge Tournament, after which Wyatt reported his arm felt like it had fallen off.
2012 season low point: Was cruelly forced to miss part of the season and endure a miserable 3-week vacation in Hawaii.
Weird habit worth mentioning: Early in the season Wyatt became known for bumping, shoving, and grabbing baserunners at second base. He stopped when the coaches informed him that checking was not allowed until 13U.
Most likely to get kicked out of Cooperstown Dreams Park for: Being mistaken for somebody's younger brother.
