Huge congrats to Brayden Clancy on committing to D1 East Coast Mid Major power Binghamton. Binghamton made the NCAA tournament last year. Brayden is as clutch as they come, shows up everyday and got the most out of his career at Harper. Extremely proud! @hurba19@brayden_clancy
A super intriguing arm. Didn’t play varsity baseball in high school. Still has so much room to get better and is producing at a pretty high level right now! 15.28 Ks per 9 innings pitched. D1 ARM!
Hitting .398 AVG with a 1.144 OPS. Commands the zone at an elite level and will translate to the next level even better with better strike zones. Has 8 HRs, 38 RBIs, 39 R, a 1:1 BB to K ratio, 8 SB. Has played all three outfield positions and 2B. Hitters hit.
Actually crazy that Brayden is still on the board. In a lineup full of multiple other D1 hitters Brayden has been a staple. Hit .363 last year with a 2 to 1 BB/HBP to K ratio. Already has doubled his HRs and ability to play all three outfield spots and 2B.
Congratulations to SO OF Peter Castaneda on his commitment to NAIA Clarke University. We are so proud of your growth as a student and athlete. Best days are still ahead! @ClarkeBaseball
Congratulations to SO CF Connor Kave on committing to @IonaBaseball. Kave is one of the best defensive CF in the country + has drastically improved in the box since arriving. A true leader, winner, and high academic student. He is the 3rd D1 position player commit in last year.
Congratulations to our guy Logan Sarna on his commitment to Grand Valley State University. From getting cut his senior year of HS to going to one of the best D2 schools in the country. A ton of development on and off the field. What a great story @LoganSarna@GVSUBaseball
Hawk leaving the Nest! Congratulations to SO INF Jaxon Cook on committing to Eureka College. Jaxon is a great teammate and is getting a chance to continue playing the game he loves closer to home!
Hawk leaving the Nest! Congratulations to SO Catcher Matthew Guza on committing to @JudsonBaseball. Guza has set himself up for success on the field, in the classroom, and financially. Great teammate and high upside behind the plate!
