Wiley Barfield (28) MIF/RHP/Utility, another young warrior who earned some Varsity playing time towards the end of the year. Low 80’s on the mound with a three pitch mix, swing is true gap to gap. Good bat to ball skills and will hit for power. @PrepBaseballFL@coachwally39
Congratulations to Deven Heard, his coaching staff and players.
Aucilla Christian is District Champions.
Some high school coaches may work as hard as Deven, but none work harder.
Heard is a student of the game and a tireless worker that loves his players.
Gritty and hard working player in the 2026 class, true utility with a ton of upside. He’s also a 4.0 student. @Drake_Angeron@Lee_Rich1 @TU_BSBL @ABACBaseball
The best of the best outwork people daily.
They stack days.
They stack weeks.
They stack months.
They stack years.
They simply win the "time spent" investment model.
They're relentless and disciplined.
Their "fun" is outworking everyone around them.
@Brandon_Key07 under two months post ACL surgery taking cuts in the cage, this doesn’t surprise me! This young man is just a nose to the ground worker. @Lee_Rich1@nextlevelbb
