Baseball Victoria is very proud to share that two of our state's standout junior athletes were recently presented with prestigious 2018 Victorian School Sports Awards.
Congratulations are in order for Cody Rodwell of Maribyrnong College / Maribyrnong Sports Academy and Charlie Collins of Ringwood Secondary College on receiving these awards, which are presented annually by School Sport Victoria and the Department of Education and Training (DET). At last week’s award ceremony at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Cody and Charlie were both recognised for outstanding sporting performances at state and national levels.
Cody started his sporting career by winning state titles in sprints and long jump before setting his sights on baseball and softball, collecting 14 state team selections and one national team representation across the sports. Following the School Sport Australia 2018 National Championships, Cody was selected to the All-Australian Team and traveled to the U.S. with the team. He played 20 baseball games over 25 days, with 47 plate appearances and a batting average of .436. He hopes to earn a scholarship to play baseball and study in the U.S.
Charlie swapped his tennis racket for a baseball bat at the age of 10, and he’s thrived in the team environment ever since. He’s had plenty of amazing representative opportunities, including the 2018 and 2019 Australian Youth Championships in Sydney and the Australian U15 World Cup Team that competed in Panama.
Baseball Victoria is confident both of these dedicated players will continue to do great things, on and off the baseball field.
