Mr. Domenico,

First of all, thank you for inviting me to this World High Class Showcase. It was a great experience and I met a lot of new friends who I continue to stay in contact with. These players are in a class by themselves, and i can see myself playing with or against them at the next level "College or Pro". You made all of us feel special and gave us more than we expected. The staff was great and it was well organized. Getting to speak to Babe Ruth's Granddaughter was just amazing, it was like speaking to the Babe himself. Being announced in the stadium was very exciting and overwhelming, it file like I was at the All Star game. You selected me again for 2010 and I look forward to working harder, and being very competitive at the next Power Showcase. This showcase brings the best out of you and I had alot of fun. I look forward to seeing you again this coming January and thanks for giving me the opportunity to show all of my skills,

In Baseball Always,
Brandon Vega

"Brandon has a tremendous work ethic.  He sees each day as a chance to improve his baseball skills.  His motivation and positive attitude are contagious at practice.  Brandon has a passion for the game of baseball and his approach to practice sessions is an example of that.  Brandon is confident enough to be able to assist teammates and humble enough to admit weaknesses.  As a coach, players like Brandon come along once in a while and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Brandon has earned the respect of the baseball staff and the faculty at Jackson Liberty.  His work ethic on the baseball field is a direct reflection of his dedication to his academics.  As head coach of the Jackson Liberty baseball program, I require the players to turn in weekly progress reports.  This helps me keep a pulse on our players' academic progress.  Brandon's report is outstanding on a weekly basis.  I receive numerous complements on his character, responsibility and commitment to academic excellence.  He makes the baseball program proud with his efforts in the classroom. Overall, Brandon is a tremendous young man who has all the tools to be successful in all his future endeavors.  He has character, leadership ability and passion.  Brandon is a great asset to, not only our program, but the Jackson Liberty Community. He makes all of us proud for this selection." - Jim Rankin, Head Baseball Coach, Jackson Liberty H.S.
