FORMER DISTRICT 2 AND 6 LITTLE LEAGUE STARS RANK IN THE TOP 500 OF HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS IN NORTH AMERICA

Rewind a few years and Matt Ianni, as a pitcher, was petrifying batters in Ontario's Little League's District 2; meanwhile up the Queensway in Orleans, for District 6, Demi Orimoloye was making noises with his bat.

Those noises are now being heard south of border, as the Perfect Game scouting bureau published it's top 500 high schoolers in North America for the 2015 draft year, and these two Ottawa boys made the cut. 


Respectively Demi is ranked 187th., while Matt is ranked 149th..   Also among the top 500 high schoolers, are 5 other Canadians who made the grade.

Because baseball in Ottawa doesn't enjoy the same level of participation as hockey, it's smaller size makes it more of a fraternity.  So you can bet that all players and coaches who knew these boys are rooting for them. They're hoping that Demi and Matt's playing careers take them a long way from Ottawa's local diamonds.

Hopefully, one day you'll both be able to give back in one way or another, to the same Little Leagues where you first threw your first pitches and made your first at bats.
