Alumnus Taylor Martin ’09 spent part of his summer in Italy as a member of a team of baseball players assembled from around the country to compete against other teams from around the world. Martin, whose brother Jason ’07 plays baseball for San Jose State University, was praised by his coach, Matt Vince, for his performance on the international stage. “I have been to Italy three times, and this year’s group was the best I have had the pleasure to work with and you were a big reason our trip was such a success,” Vince said in an e-mail, adding that Martin led in offense along with another teammate, “and when combined with your base-running and defensive play, it would be very hard not to name you the Most Valuable Player for this year’s tour.” The Martin boys are the sons of Harker’s executive chef, Steve Martin.
