Jake Slattery of the Ankeny baseball team is the Ankeny Fanatic Sub of the Week sponsored by Blimpie.
The senior has helped the Hawks to a 9-6 record, including a 5-3 mark in the CIML Central Conference.
“Jake usually plays left field and is just a very solid defender,” said Ankeny coach Joe Balvanz. “He’s a defensive replacement, and he knows his job is to not let the ball hit the ground. He understands his role.”
