The article compares Dave Roberts, the manager of the Dodgers, with Andy Wise, the head coach at Corona High, highlighting their shared success and expectations for the upcoming season. Both teams have exceptional talent, with standout players like Seth Hernandez and Billy Carlson. While the Dodgers have a more structured playoff series format, Corona faces a grueling, single-elimination high school playoff system. Wise emphasizes the heightened pressure and importance of luck in achieving success amid competition from teams like Huntington Beach and Orange Lutheran, suggesting the path to victory is fraught with challenges.
"Honestly, our whole infield is pretty unbelievable. It's unreal to have that support system behind you."
"Everything is magnified and there's pressure. There's so many good teams in Division 1 that you really have to have some things go your way and luck on your side."
"Like Roberts, he has his own version of Shohei Ohtani in pitcher-first baseman Seth Hernandez, Mookie Betts in shortstop Billy Carlson and Freddie Freeman in third baseman Brady Ebel."
"They're both ranked No. 1 in America with no debate needed, and of course, unlike Roberts, Wise has a more challenging task."
