Future UL Ragin' Cajun Jeffrey Elkins went 5-for-9 last week in three wins for the Ascension Episcopal Blue Gators, picking up six RBIs, one home run, one triple and two doubles in the process. <\/p>\n
Elkins is one of the state leaders in home runs so far this season. <\/p>\n
Ascension Episcopal baseball coach Lonny Landry said he expected this type of success from Elkins this season. <\/p>\n
I expected it. He really worked on his swing this season and over the month and a half of practice before games, Landry said. Just based on batting practice and what weve seen, Im not surprised at all with the start hes had so far this season. <\/p>\n
He hit the weight room hard and did a lot of speed and agility training in the offseason. He just figured out how to use every ounce of power he had. <\/p>\n
Landry said Elkins has a \"professional\" work ethic and has performed well at the top of the lineup. <\/p>\n
For being an amateur athlete, (Elkins) is a true professional in every aspect of the word, Landry said. Seth has been phenomenal and Josh gives us a senior in the two-hole. Weve got two in front and two-behind who are dangerous at the plate. <\/p>\n
I think weve surrounded him with some pretty good hitters. <\/p>\n
Elkins committed to the Cajuns in June 2015 and signed in February. <\/p>\n
