He&#8217;s the guy you want at the plate when you need a big hit, and is one of the most talented and hard-working athletes I&#8217;ve had in my 17 years of coaching.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Patrick played baseball, football and basketball almost his entire life, but he said he &#8216;fell in love&#8217; with baseball at age 12, and has never looked back.<\/p>\n<p>His parents, Jim and Debbie, have been there for Patrick from the beginning and are his biggest fans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They push me to be a better person,&#8221; he said. &#8220;My mom always makes sure I&#8217;m being a gentleman to everyone in school and on the field. They&#8217;ve also taught me to give back to the community, and it&#8217;s something I love to do, because giving back is a very rewarding feeling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Patrick has gotten some &#8216;initial&#8217; interest from a few schools, but his coach said he could not only play at the next level and succeed, but that &#8220;whichever school gets Ethan improves their team instantly.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been really tough trying to get recruited,&#8221; Patrick said. &#8220;I feel like I have to work much harder than players bigger than me, because I know I need to prove any doubters wrong and show them that production on the field isn&#8217;t defined by being over six-feet tall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Being the baseball lifer that he is, Patrick also wanted to credit little league coach Mark Davis for his years of help.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever Patrick feels a slump coming on, which is rare, he&#8217;ll call Davis and they&#8217;ll do batting drills together, and it always seems to quell the downward spiral.<\/p>\n<p>As much credit as he&#8217;s earned, EP was quick to deflect praise towards his teammates and coaches.<\/p>\n<p>Sammy Martinez (.306 average, 19 hits, 11 RBI) and Noah Zate (.310, 13 hits, 8 RBI) have helped lead the offensive surge.<\/p>\n<p>Grant Fosselman (4-3, 1.72 ERA), Zane Lindeman (4-4, 2.67 ERA), Jeff Daley (2-0, 1.59 ERA) and James Barnard (2-1, 2.47 ERA) have been critical to the Lancers success on the mound.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick is not only thankful to his teammates who actually show a passion and desire to win, he&#8217;s also very appreciative towards his coaching staff, most notably, Mike Parisi.<\/p>\n<p>Said Patrick: &#8220;Coach Parisi is a great coach. I&#8217;ve learned so much from him over the past two years. He always pushes me to be the best player I can be. He has really helped me progress into a better player. Coach Parisi has done such a great job with our baseball program. He always has our back through thick and thin, and it&#8217;s really nice to know he&#8217;s always there for us when we need it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With five Del Rey League games left, La Salle hopes to shore up some issues and head into the postseason on a high note.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When everyone is &#8216;all in,&#8217; we&#8217;re a very tough team to beat,&#8221; Patrick said. &#8220;I love my teammates and appreciate all the work they&#8217;ve put in. We have great chemistry, but sometimes we aren&#8217;t always playing up to our potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If La Salle does make a deep playoff run, you can be sure that Patrick will have likely played a starring role in that pursuit.<\/p>\n<p>But as his coach said, &#8220;Ethan cares way more about us winning games than he does getting attention for himself or individual accolades, and that&#8217;s just another thing that makes him a special kid and player,&#8221; Parisi said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quotable:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>La Salle pitcher Zane Lindeman:<\/strong> &#8220;He&#8217;s the best. He lives, breathes, eats, sleeps baseball. He&#8217;s an awesome teammate, he leads by example and is one of the purest hitters I&#8217;ve ever played with. He&#8217;s the heart and soul of our lineup and a great friend to me. So grateful I can play high school and regale baseball with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>St. Paul coach Casey Morales:<\/strong> &#8220;Ethan is someone you want to avoid (at the plate) if you can. He is the focal point of their offense, and I think he is the best pure hitter in our league.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maranatha coach Matt Shupper:<\/strong> &#8220;Ethan is a true competitor on the field. Never takes off a play, has a natural swing and is a great teammate. I have had the privilege to both coach Ethan in an all-star game and coach against him, and I was taken back about how well he played the game, and how great he was in directing players on the field with respect and confidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Salle pitcher Jeff Daley:<\/strong> &#8220;Ethan is by far one of the most talented and dedicated teammates I have ever had. He works extremely hard on all aspects of his game whenever possible, and as a friend, he&#8217;s always an upbeat, positive guy. On the team, he leads through his actions and is overall very reliable not only on the field but also at the plate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Salle DH Sammy Martinez:<\/strong> &#8220;On the baseball field, Ethan is one of the most hard working players out there, and you can see that in the way he plays. He&#8217;s also one of the most exciting players to watch. He makes some unbelievable plays and it&#8217;s just awesome to see what he does on the field. Off the field, he&#8217;s so fun to be around. Everything is about having fun to him and always smiling. Ethan is my guy, and I&#8217;m excited to see what he does in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>EP&#8217;s Varsity Stats:<\/strong><br \/>\nSophomore Year: .330 average, 31 hits, 17 runs, 7 RBI, 4 doubles.<br \/>\nJunior Year: .449 average, 31 hits, 18 runs, 15 RBI, 11 doubles, 4 triples, 2 home runs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting To Know Ethan Patrick:<\/strong><br \/>\nFavorite Team: Angels<br \/>\nFavorite Player: Derek Jeter<br \/>\nFavorite Movie: The Endless Summer<br \/>\nFavorite Musical Artist: J Boog<br \/>\nMost Surprising Artist On His Ipod: Luke Bryan<br \/>\nPerson I&#8217;d Most Want To Speak With: Eddie Aikou<\/p>\n<p><strong>Del Rey League Standings:<\/strong><br \/>\nBishop Amat (15-8 overall, 7-0 in league)<br \/>\nSerra (13-8, 5-3)<br \/>\nLa Salle (13-9, 4-3)<br \/>\nCathedral (12-8, 2-5)<br \/>\nSt. Paul (10-14, 0-7)<\/p>\n<p><strong>La Salle Remaining Schedule:<\/strong><br \/>\nApril 27: St. Paul vs La Salle at Arcadia County Park at 4<br \/>\nApril 29: West Torrance vs La Salle at Arcadia County Park at 11 a.m.<br \/>\nMay 2: Bishop Amat vs La Salle at Arcadia County Park at 4<br \/>\nMay 5: La Salle at Bishop Amat at 3:15<br \/>\nMay 8: La Salle at Cathedral at 3:15<br \/>\nMay 10: Cathedral vs La Salle at Arcadia County Park at 4<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethan Patrick Photo credit: Dave and Xochitl Zuniga By Brian Reed-Baiotto, Sports Editor Basing one&#8217;s judgments on La Salle shortstop Ethan Patrick by his physical stature alone would be a disservice to any college or franchise that a scout might represent.
