Just Ask The Eagles!

The Eagles of Eagle Grove, IA hadn't competed in a state baseball tournament since 1946.

Thanks to a lot of drive and determination by the players, excellent coaching, and the Speed Bat, invented by Coach Dennis "Nemo" Tessicini, 2001 saw a different Eagles team. The season ended with a very impressive 26-8, good enough for a spot in the state finals game in Marchaltown, IA, where they placed second, losing by one run to the Emmetsburg E-Hawks.

Around February of this year a bat and a video from Coach Nemo were ordered and donated to the team. They wanted to see if the equipment would live up to the inventor's claims. It did just that, and more. Here is what some of the Eagles have to say about it.

"The 2001 summer baseball season for the Eagles was one to be remembered. We established a school record for the most wins in a season with a 26-8 record, and placing 2nd in Class 2A in the state.

"Seven of the nine starters has a batting average over 300. A lot of the success, I believe, is the different drills we used with the "Speed Bat." I feel it gave the kids faster bat sped through the plate and better eye-to-ball coordination. We hit in the gym, because of the wet spring and every ball player swung the Speed Bat at least 50 times a night. I advise a lot of schools to try Nemo's Speed Bat. It works. I'm a firm believer in it."

Head Coach Bruce Rholl

"The Speed Bat helped me to center on the sweet spot on the bat. My concentration has improved which helped me to target the middle of the ball. This bat has given me real confidence on the plate.

Senior Ryan O'Hern

"The Speed Bat was a great aid to me throughout the season. While improving my hand-eye coordination and wrist strength it also boosted my confidence at the plate.
