JOEY MARCHINI ACCEPTS SCHOLARSHIP

We at Golden Era Baseball would like to say congratulations to 18U player, Joey Marchini, who has accepted a scholarship to play 4 year college baseball at University of San Francisco A of A. 

Joey, a centerfielder and 2012 grad from Salesian High School in Richmond is coming off an incredible senior season where he hit close to 600, had 3 home runs, 28 runs scored and 18 RBI’s.

Marchini’s high school coach, Kenny Paysinger who spent 3 seasons coaching him on varsity says, “Joey is a coaches player, he will be the hardest worker on any team he plays on, he’s a phenomenal kid, has a  tremendous attitude, and has one of the best work ethics I have ever seen. He is a coach’s dream.” 

Golden Era Coach Derek Bell says, “Joey is one of the best pure athletes and naturally gifted players that has been part of Golden Era. The thing with Joey is as good of a player that he is right now, his best days are still in front of him. He has speed, power, plus arm strength, is a phenomenal outfielder and has true baseball instincts that we can’t teach. There is no better feeling than to watch a players dream of playing college baseball come true and I really look forward to seeing him as he continues down his baseball road”.
Joey himself say’s, “I’m very excited, I’ve had a lot of great coaches over the years and all the hard work has finally paid off”. 

Joey on behalf of all your coaches at Salesian High School and from all of us here at Golden Era Baseball, we say congratulations again and wish you all the best at the college level!
