heat baseball

Hey i was just wondering who this JW laney was. I saw him on the heat roster and it said he had huge power like chris harvey? Anyone got any more information?

 

I attached the info about the Heat teams below from another thread and it says that JW Laney goes to Bandy's HS. I know the conference they are in and I believe that he hit a good number of HR's as a fresh and Soph and had a local news article comparing his bat to Chris Harvey which attended the same High School.
Maybe someone else know more about it.

It looks like the Heat Showcase team has a nice looking group of players from all over. We played in a tournament that they held at LR college in May and had a great time, and it was very well run with a good number of College coaches in attendance. Keep up the good work!


This was info from another thread

Below are the names and a small bit of info about the players that are on the current Heat Showcase rosters. Most of these 2008 players, alot of the 2009 players, and a couple of the 2010 players are getting attention from the College recruiters. I would also like to mention again that we have been a showcase team for the last 2 years and have had a total of 12 former players go on to play at the next level.
