Derek Cape lands contract with Arizona Diamondbacks

A very special young man, a model/student athlete, realizes seldom reached dream - a contract with a major league baseball team. 'I have been around all levels of baseball for over 35 years in Adair County and I do believe that Derek is the first that I have witnessed to reach this level of baseball and I am so proud of him.' - RYAN McQUEARY

Derek's Adair County High School Coach

Derek Cape, Columbia, KY, a never to be forgotten baseball star at Adair County High School and at Lindsey Wilson College, has been offered a contract by the Arizona Diamondbacks and will be headed to Spring Training in Arizona.



This is a dream that most all baseball players have but very few ever get to fulfill.

For those of you that have never met Derek, you are most definitely missing out on a very special young man. I was blessed enough to have had the opportunity to coach Derek for 4 years at Adair County High School.

He was a model/student athlete with a work ethic like no one could imagine.

His work ethic even got stronger as he got to college and i believe that is the reason he reached his dream.

I have been around all levels of baseball for over 35 years in Adair County and i do believe that Derek is the first that i have witnessed to reach this level of baseball and i am so proud of him.
BR> Derek comes from a super set of parents who instilled a great morals and values in a super young man.

Congratuatlons Derek you make Adair County proud!!! Coach McQueary -- Ryan McQueary
