Top Performers
2023 RHP Garrett Baumann (Hagerty HS, FL)
UCF commit. Strong, extra large frame standing at 6-foot-7. Baumann Dominated during his outing throwing a complete game, striking out the last batter to end it. Baumann was able to hold his velocity well into the 5th inning as his fastball sat 87-89 mph with life and showed great feel for his slider, sitting 79-81 mph. He was very efficient, throwing 70% of his pitches for strikes and finishing the day with 5 K’s on 5 hits surrendered. An uptick in velocity is coming. Big arm to follow.

Bethune-Cookman commit. Finished the night going 2-3 at the plate with 2 runs scored including the game winner, while also adding a stolen base. Above average athlete. Great hitter to have near the top of the order as he consistently gets on base and puts his team in position to score.
