I’m blessed and excited to announce my commitment to continue my baseball career at the University of South Florida. I’d like to thank God, my family, Coach Mark Persails, and the coaching staff at USF for giving me this opportunity. #GoBulls

That ball was smoked by freshman Eli Thomas. There is putting it on a rope, & then there’s putting it on a frozen rope. To be clear @elithomas_3 did the latter.

Go-ahead grand slam 💣 to give the team the lead in the bottom of the 6th in the 6-4 win! Looking to capitalize off this momentum as a team and keep it rolling next week!

[Eli Thomas @elithomas_3]

Here’s an opposite field double from this past week. Excited for high school ball to be back!

Bulls split today’s doubleheader in Gainesville 🤘

[Perfect Game Scout @PG_Scouting]

Eli Thomas (‘25 FL) hits this one on the screws for a loud triple (93 EV). Fast bat & pretty low effort strength that plays well to the gaps.

Congratulations to Matthew Hall 2025 on his commitment to Towson University

I knew at 10 years old you were going to the dude! Watching you evolve into the player you are today has been incredible. Keep pushing forward. This is just the start!
