2026 C/3B Jordan Stokes (GA) finds barrel to knock this pitch back up the middle.
Strings together quality at bats. Bat to ball approach, tons of rotational acceleration and bat speed in the profile.

Glenwood Sweeps Gordo for Second
Straight AHSAA State Championship
JACKSONVILLE – Defending Class 3A state baseball champion Glenwood scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning Wednesday afternoon in Game 2 of the AHSAA Class 3A State Basketball Championship series – and never looked back.
The Gators (35-8) never lost the lead adding three runs in the fourth inning and one in the fifth to cruise to an 8-1 victory over Gordo (30-10) to claim their second state title.
Glenwood, coached by Tim Fanning, used four pitchers to secure the win. They quartet, Rhett English, Ethan Henderson, Cayden Edwards, and Trey Claridy combined to pitch a four-hitter, walked six and struck out seven. English pitched the first two inning, Henderson hurled two hitless innings and struck out four, Edwards fanned two and yielded two hits over the next two innings, and Claridy closed out the seventh inning with one whiff and one hit allowed. Henderson got the mound win.
Junior Andrew Wilkinson ripped two doubles and drove in four runs to earn The 3A State Championships MVP award. He was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs in Tuesday’s first-game 18-6 win.
Gordo, coached by Jonathan Pate, was led by first baseman Noah McDaniel. The junior had three hits in four at-bats on Tuesday and was 2-for-4 Wednesday with an RBI to finish 5-of-8 for the series. Designated hitter Bennett Trul also had a double. Starting pitcher Ryder Robertson hurled 4 1/3 innings yielding eight hits and four earned runs to get the loss.
Glenwood’s state titles have come in the first two years the Gators have been a member of the AHSAA. Gordo’s rich baseball history has accounted for four state titles winning in 2002, 2003, 2011 and 2017 – and finishing as state runner-up the last two years.

Lightning quick barrel & stout 5-9/190 frame helps produce serious all-fields power. Comfortable and relaxed in the box.

1B Andrew Wilkinson (@AndrewWilk1976, 2027) sends this one to the back-side for an RBI single.
Consistent all-fields pop utilizing a short, well-connected LH swing that flashes power. Continues to hit in all looks.
Glenwood 9, Gordo 1, B4.

OF/LHP Hudson Campbell (@H_Campbell3, 2026) crushes this one to deep CF for a triple.
Quality strength in the barrel coming from a compact RH swing. Gators tack on a few more for some insurance.
