First home run on the season! Tough loss we are searching for are turn around game, and getting hot. Planning on getting out an album of hits so far this season soon!

@smmustangbbnc returned to the Playoffs after a five year absence. Coach Plemmons led a youth movement in his first season and he's returning several talented underclassmen this Spring.
2027 3B/2B @Luke_rogers16 was part of that wave of young faces last Spring. He was a baby deer for a while, but flashed athleticism. This Fall, he really started coming into his body as he's now up to 6'1" 175. He looked balanced and found finding more barrels while getting reps with @nextlevelbbnc & the Smoky Fall Team.
Luke and his fellow Mustangs are poised to make a return to the Playoffs in 2026.

2027 @Luke_rogers16 of @SMMustangBball is noticeably more physical than when we first filmed him back in November of 2024
We also had a chance to watch Luke play during the regular season, a competitive conference match up with Pisgah where he went 2 for 2 w/ a 2B, RBI, R, & a Sac Bunt. He competes
Luke has found his role as a Primary 3B who can slide over to play a quality 2B as well. Solid footwork and quick transfers; bouncy, solid on the BH. Has grown a few inches in the past year; his frame is ready for more weight.
EVs were in the mid 8s during BP; hips & hands are quick and create solid energy through the swing. Path can be a little up hill at times, but when he stays connected, he can use the whole field.
Well Coached by Coach Plemmons at Smoky; Plays in the Summer/Fall w/ @nextlevelbbnc and @rickdearmas28. 3.7 GPA w/ an interest in Construction Management or Architecture
This weekend I really worked on staying in abs, and it worked. All of my hits this weekend were deep in the count with 2 strikes. Thatโs not where I want to do damage but sometimes you have to.
BA : 3 for 5

We had 3 of our guys playing in a PG tournament this weekend in High Point NC. Lane Plemmons, Gio Buchanan and Will Clonch came through BIG TIME for NLB-NC 2026! They fell 1 run short in the championship game. Will Clonch threw 6 innings of great baseball!

Strong past weekend with @SMMustangBball really focusing on cutting down strikeouts and working early, to create a good approach. The team is working hard this offseason and getting ready.
3/4 at the plate
