The uniform is crisp, the skill level impeccable.
Landon Roberts, a fifth-generation Coupeville High School grad, has taken his love for baseball to the next level, making his debut with Walla Walla Community College.
His first outing repping the Warriors came Sunday against a crew from Spokane, with the former Wolf playing multiple positions during a season-opening doubleheader.
Roberts pitched 1.2 innings of relief in the first game, before patrolling centerfield for five innings in the finale.
The former Wolf also collected a single and a walk in three trips to the plate, scoring twice and picking up an RBI.
Walla Walla plays fall ball doubleheaders through the end of October, before Roberts and Co. move into weight and strength training for two months.
Games pick back up in mid-February, if Mother Nature allows it.
During his CHS days, Roberts, who hails from a large clan of very successful Wolf athletes, was a captain for his cross country, basketball, and baseball teams.
