JEREMIAH KNIGHT: "A lot of people tell me how good (my dad) was... how he could have gone to the pros. He didn’t talk about that much, but a bunch of people have said that to me. I hope I can be as good as he was." WARREN DILLAWAY / Star Beacon

A Don McCormack column: A Knight’s tale...
Having just lost his father, 10-year-old Jeremiah Knight is honoring him by showing the same extraordinary abilities
DON McCORMACK Star Beacon
“But you wouldn’t dare change it, either.”
The guy who said that was Scott Barber, the greatest high school baseball hitter Ashtabula County has ever produced. He of the .699 batting average in 1985 for coach Rick Havens’ Falcons.
“I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Fade to black...
Jeremiah Knight hit three home runs in four at-bats in a tournament game on June 13. In his other at-bat, he struggled.
He hit a double.
He has clubbed five homers during competition this spring and summer, four more in practice.
He’s batting better than .800 this season, so he’s slumping.
Last season, he hit better than .900.
He stands 4-foot-11.
He weighs 80 pounds, though that appears to be a bit generous.
