Elijah Hodges, a junior at Miramonte High School, has been selected to join the U.S. 16U baseball team that will be traveling to the Dominican Republic to compete in the Latin American Baseball Classic this August. Hodges participated in a competitive evaluation earlier in the year and was excited when he received word that he was one of only 17 players selected after a nationwide search.
The left-handed pitcher and centerfielder has loved the game of baseball since he started playing at age four. He has played various levels of OBA (including a visit to Cooperstown), and he has competed on a travel team. Last spring, Hodges completed his second season on Miramonte's junior varsity squad.
