Signal Mountain slugger Ben Timblin is crushing the baseball at an impressive rate lately as the senior leads the state of Tennessee in home runs with nine.
For the second consecutive game Timblin mashed two home runs and a double, this time leading the Eagles to a 9-2 District 6-3A victory over visiting Red Bank on Monday.
The answer to the Wofford signee’s incredible success on the diamond is his work ethic and the ability to reset.
“I just try to stay consistent on my work outs and hitting off the machine,” Timblin said. “Consistency is how you get progress. These days are awesome, but tomorrow is a new day. You have to have a fresh mindset. Because if you ride the highs of baseball, the game will humble you. I love baseball. I just try to go out there and work hard and see what happens.”
Timblin has been a steady force from the start of his prep career for Signal Mountain, who has been one of the best teams in the state this season with a 19-3 overall record and 7-0 mark in district play.
