Coach Stone’s comments on Mark Tomse- “Mark and I were teammates at Eastern Illinois, so we’ve had a baseball relationship for a long time. Since our playing days, Mark and I have worked numerous hitting classes and camps together.  He is a “student of the game,” and its been fun for us to bounce ideas off each other as we’ve both grown by studying and researching about the swing.  Mark uses video analysis and high speed cameras to help demonstrate to players the things he should be doing.  Mark is also one of those unique players that was drafted out of high school as a pitcher, but played professionally as a hitter.  As you can see, a very talented individual.”
