PBR NY: Tell me about your training and preparation for the upcoming 2014 baseball season?

Manderson: I have been training in the local gym, hitting and throwing daily. I feel I am getting myself prepared both physically and mentally for the upcoming season.

PBR NY: Could you describe your strengths and weaknesses?

Manderson: Strengths: Having a strong mental state—always staying engaged in what I am doing on and off the field. Hardworking, and focused as well.

Manderson: RHP Mitch Cavanagh (Onedia HS).

PBR NY: Who is the top team you will face this high school season in your opinion?
