HS BASEBALL: Kennedy coach put on administrative leave

Kennedy coach Manny Alvarado, a fixture at the Granada Hills school since since 1988, has been placed on administrative leave, he confirmed Wednesday.

"I'm not exactly sure what I'm being of accused of yet," Alvarado said. "No one has said anything to me. I don't know."

Alvarado confirmed a freshman baseball player was injured on campus.

"Some kids were messing around. They were hiding it from me because they thought that was being a good teammate," Alvarado said. "But I don't know if that's even a part of it."

Alvarado did not describe the incident as hazing.

"I certainly hope not," he said.
