Max is one to watch in the class of 2028. Hard worker and great person to be around. He was clutch for us on the mound in several occasions this spring and summer!

Connor is a top tier competitor on the mound and in the batters box. He always finds a way to come up clutch when we need it most. Great teammate and kid!

He is going to be a player to watch next year as he continues to get better!

Brandt is a very talented pitcher with + stuff who just keeps getting better. Great teammate and person. He is always either talking or watching baseball.

We are very lucky to have him on our team and whoever gives him a shot will be thankful they did!

Brody is an elite competitor on the mound. He can get hitters out with 4 different pitches and does a great job keeping them off balance. I’m glad he’s on our side!

Kellen can hit for average and pop, and can use the whole field. He is a great teammate, student and person. Someone is going to get a steal!

Very athletic short stop who just finds ways on base. Can use his speed and also can drive a ball to the gap. Brendon has been a great leader in our program and he will excel at the next level!
