Town of Webb High School junior, Garrett Pavlus, has been selected by Baseball Factory Pro Scouts to compete in the Pirate City World Series in Bradenton, FL this August.
Garrett, the son of Joanne and Lance Maly, is a member of the school’s varsity baseball team and plays American Legion baseball for the Smith Post of Rome.
Baseball Factory is recognized as the leader in college placement and player development in the country.
Its vision is to guide both players, and their parents, through the college recruiting process in order to find a school that is the right fit for them-both academically and athletically-as well as to professionally train players for a career in baseball.
While in Florida, Garrett will have the opportunity to play in an extremely competitive tournament, with and against, some of the best baseball players in the country.
He will also have the opportunity to be coached and trained by a staff of professional baseball players, professional scouts, and former college coaches.
In the next few months, Garrett will be seeking sponsor support and donations, and will also be holding fundraisers in the area to help raise the money he needs to attend the World Series.
Among the fundraisers is a Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, July 2 from 7 to 11 a.m. at Old Forge American Legion Post #893.
A Texas Holdem Poker Tournament will take place at the Thendara Golf Course at the end of July.
Anyone who would like to donate to Garrett’s cause, can make a check payable to Baseball Factory and mail it directly to him at: P.O. Box 100, Old Forge, NY 13420.
Garrett will also be accepting bottles and cans as donations throughout the summer.
Call (315) 369-3193 to arrange for pick up or drop off at his home located at 245 Spruce Drive.
