Haden Hinkle may have peaked early, but had a successful baseball career as a Madera Coyote.
Hinkle, a 2009 Madera High School graduate, burst upon the scene and was named the Tri-River Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year as a sophomore. He followed that with a second team honor as a junior and a first team honor as a senior.
“There were a lot of great players in the league,” Hinkle said. “I looked at the All-League players, and there were a lot that played in college or professionally. A lot of them are still doing it. I don’t talk about it much, but it’s a cool accomplishment.”
