The only similarity between Chris and Eddie Hacopian is that they both love baseball, according to coach Matt Swope.
Regardless of the differences between the two brothers they have been consistent bright spots in the Maryland lineup.
Chris and Eddie Hacopian continue their family’s Maryland baseball lineage. The brothers followed in their dad’s footsteps.
