Simon Horne will help any team that is lucky enough to secure his services. Simon can hit! He can hit to all fields and he hits for power. He hits for power to all fields, he leads our team in home runs the past two seasons. His baseballI IQ is excellent, calling a great game for our pitching staff and understanding the game more than most. He plays an above average catcher, first base and can take care of third base as well and he also can pitch a little. There is no challenge Simon cannot handle and his mental toughness and passion for the game make him an excellent teammate and an excellent person. I fully endorse Simon and have great confidence that Simon will have a positive impact on any team.
