With the Early Signing Period just around the corner and numerous commitments coming down in the last week, we wanted to bring back the Recruiting Roundup and spotlight players who made their commitments.

Jake DeLisi SS / RHP / Brentsville, VA / 2019DeLisi is a two-way talent who primarily played shortstop for Brentsville in the spring. He committed to King University where he will have a chance to play short and contribute on the mound, where he has seen his velocity increase this summer. |
Bradley Gagen LHP / 1B / Paul VI, VA / 2022Gagen used a strong performance in Jupiter during October to earn an offer from Virginia that he accepted early this week. |
Andrew Gerhart C / OF / Potomac Falls, VA / 2019Gerhart has projection behind the plate and the versatility to slide to other positions if necessary to get his bat into the lineup. He committed to Mary Washington. |
Trey Gibson RHP / Grafton, VA / 2020Gibson is a big-framed pitcher who saw a big velocity jump in 2018. He has capitalized on that jump as he committed to Liberty this week. |

|
Carson McCusker LHP / OF / Fauquier , VA / 2019McCusker had a big season as a two-way contributor for the Falcons and has committed to Roanoke College. He has speed in center and some pop as a lefthanded hitter. Very deceptive delivery with a low 80's fastball on the mound that has some upside. |
Alec Reilly OF / LHP / West Springfield, VA / 2019Reilly had a strong showing for the Class 6 State Champs this spring and committed to Christopher Newport this week. He is a primary outfielder but also has potential on the mound. |
Andrew Shartzer RHP / 1B / Grafton , VA / 2019Shartzer has a big frame and was 81-83 touching 84 at the Unsigned Senior Games in August. He committed to Paul D. Camp CC this week. |
