  • Caleb Keck, RHP, 6'4-155, R/R - Had a 3.81 ERA in 42 innings pitched to go with 42 K's. Has a straight over the top delivery that leads to a very good 12-6 curve ball. 
  • Matt McMillan, UTL, 6'0-160, R/R - Can play any position on the field. This year will be a big year for him as he will be asked to play an everyday position as he will likely become the CF. Not a ton of power but lots of contact and gets on base

  • Manny Garza, RHP/INF, 5'10-165, L/R - Hit .361 as a freshman last year with a .569 on base %. Had 28 hits total. Has a lot of potential throws low 80's with great command. Aspires to be a college baseball player. Plays for Lake Erie Bulldogs in the summer

Top Prospects in Class of 2018:

  • Kaleb Bauman, IF/RHP, 6'2-165, R/R - Very promising freshman. Has a fastball that is in the low 80's with a good curveball. Still growing, hits with some power, but is definitely someone who hits the gaps. Very good range in the infield with a strong arm
