Sam Neel just turned 16 years old hitting off of a college pitcher in 19U legion ball. Couldn't be more proud - the ceiling is high going into his junior season at Fletcher. @beachrats32250@CoachBarnes904@CoachGrove904

Man I hope baseball doesn’t get to the point other sports have gotten to! I’ve seen multiple “Camp flip” edits and “Camp Commitment edits”…. What are we doing, be better
Summer just began but time to start thinking about your fall plans! Added the new head coach at Fletcher @DakodaGrove to the staff going to be a big fall!
Dylan Zack (‘27 FL) hammers this one up the middle for a base hit. Does a good job getting the hands to the inside pitch; solid bat speed here. #BeastOfTheEast@PG_Uncommitted@Florida_PG
Tanner Clark Departing Umatilla for Next Chapter in College Baseball ⚾
It's a tough loss for Lake County, but we wish him the best! ❤️Umatilla High School announces that Head Baseball Coach Tanner Clark will be stepping down after five highly successful seasons leading the Bulldogs baseball program.
A proud Umatilla native and former Bulldog player, Coach Clark returned home to lead the program in 2021 and quickly transformed the culture and expectations of Umatilla Baseball. During his tenure, the Bulldogs achieved five consecutive winning seasons, something the program had not accomplished in decades. Under his leadership, the team became one of the most respected and competitive programs in Lake County and Central Florida.
One of the defining moments of Coach Clark’s career came during the 2024 season when the Bulldogs captured the program’s first district championship in 22 years with a memorable victory over nationally recognized powerhouse Montverde Academy. The Bulldogs also earned a berth in the FHSAA State Playoffs and finished the season with a 19-9 record. Coach Clark was subsequently named the 2024 Lake & Sumter Style Magazine Baseball Coach of the Year.
In addition to the district championship, Coach Clark guided Umatilla to several historic accomplishments, including back-to-back victories over rival Eustis High School and multiple wins over larger Central Florida programs. His teams consistently competed with toughness, discipline, and pride while helping restore excitement and community support around Bulldog Baseball.

I tell all my hitters that you better have a two strike approach because 50% of your bats will come with two strikes….
Sometimes it’s a mindset sometimes a physical adjustment. Sometimes it’s both. It’s a skill that needs to be developed & mastered to play at high of levels.
TROJANS WIN, ADVANCE TO QUARTERFINALS!
Coffee will be on the road for Round 3 next week, facing the winner of the Brunswick/Milton series currently underway.
Congratulations and GO TROJANS!
