Donovan Thiery
Junior, Coral Shores
Baseball
“He is a very hard worker that is committed to his craft and making his team better.” – Joe Szymanski, Hurricanes head coach
When Coral Shores junior Donovan Thiery stepped onto the mound on Feb. 20 to face county rival Marathon, he shouldered enormous pressure. After his performance, it was clear that the time the 6’5” righty had put in during the offseason was worth it. Thiery faced 19 batters last Thursday, striking out 11 over six innings, giving up a single hit with no walks. His spectacular outing on the mound was integral in the win. The following night, he went on the offensive against Somerset Silver Palms, going 4 for 5 at the plate with a pair of singles, a double and a home run for six RBIs against the Stallions. For his dominance on the diamond and near-perfect performances last week, Coral Shores’ Donovan Thiery is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
