Former Heat player, 2004 WWBA Pitching MVP and MLB Draft 1st Round pick Kyle Drabek has overcome some obstacles including Tommy John surgery, but at the 2009 Futures Game he proved why he's one of the top arms in the Minor Leagues.

Of the 8 Houston area players named to the 2009 Louisville Slugger All American Team, 5 are Houston Heat players. Mathew Purke, LHP Klein, and Michael Ratterree, MIF Spring Branch Memorial, were named to the 1st Team. M.P. Cokinos, C Spring Branch Memorial, Tyler Spurlin, 1B The Woodlands, and Daniel Neumann, OF Spring Branch Memorial, were named Honorable Mention. This honor exemplifies the hard work these players have put in to elevate their game to the highest level.

Congratulations to Mathew, Michael, M.P., Tyler and Daniel on this outstanding honor.
