As a fielder and hitter, he compares himself to Derek Jeter, a star shortstop on the NY Yankees, as someone who loves the sport. Ruban’s baseball career has made a positive impact for the team, making the Varsity team as a Freshman with very competitive players on the team that all love playing the game. “Just as good as last year, if not better,” Ruban says. I also asked him how he thinks the team will do this upcoming season. “I will make sure to step up, keep everyone in line, and be a leader to help this team be successful next season,” Ruban says. I asked Ruban what he will do to be a leader as a senior on the team. Jefferson had a great season but could the team repeat it, as graduation Senior Zack Roskowsky leaves the team. Saying this team was not successful last season is an understatement. In the tournament, the Jefferson Falcons made it to top 16 in the state, while nearly 200 other schools got knocked out prior to this point. Additionally, many of the schools had many more players to utilize in this tournament compared to Jefferson. Making it to the Elite Eight in the tournament was a big deal for the team, almost beating Don Bosco Prep, a good baseball private school that always has many recruits by Division I Colleges. “I thought making it to the Elite Eight with not much practice was a big accomplishment,” Ruban says. I asked him how he thought the team did last season in the Last Dance Tournament and played in a different environment. Ruban is a Varsity baseball player on Jefferson who is a prominent infielder that loves the game. I asked Tyler Ruban, a Varsity baseball player that is a Senior this upcoming season, some questions about next season and how Jefferson was so successful last season. With the 2020-21 season fast approaching, how will Jefferson be as good as last season, losing Zack Roskowsky, John Knox, and Justin Cece who are key players on the Jefferson squad? The team hopes to continue with their success, as one of the players has high hopes for the upcoming season. Once your team lost a game, your season was over. It was a great event and new experience for Jefferson, playing teams they never played and making every game more important than ever. The Jefferson Township High School Varsity Baseball Team had a successful season this past year, making it to the Elite Eight in the crazy and unique last dance tournament.
