Cole Payne flings heat for South Whidbey’s American Legion baseball squad. (Shelli Trumbulll photos)
Payne’s so fast he can throw the ball and…
get behind the plate, ready to catch it.
Fellow Wolf in Falcon’s clothes Joey Lippo is impressed.
Cole Payne will play all the positions.
I said all of them!
The Coupeville High School senior, who has been moonlighting this summer with South Whidbey’s American Legion baseball squad, has usually been a rock behind the plate or working the infield.
But, in these pics snapped exclusively by roving photo mom Shelli Trumbull (son Aaron is another Wolf currently masquerading as a Falcon), we see Payne bring the heat on the mound.
With Aaron Curtin and Trumbull having graduated, the CHS baseball team will enter next year with 2015’s pitching staff cut 50%.
Now it looks like fellow senior CJ Smith and lil’ bro Hunter Smith (both playing summer ball as well) may have some company as pitchers in spring 2016.
Welcome to the jungle, rival batters. Get ready to feel the Payne pain.
