Wyatt Clark (Blue Springs South High School, 2021) began his playing career as a catcher and last year changed his focus to pitching. The switch is paying off for the right-hander: his fastball is working up to 90 MPH, topping out at 89 at the 2020 Premier Baseball Winter College Showcase, and his curveball shows tight spin with late break. His performance this summer earned him an offer to play at his dream school, the University of Central Missouri.
Cole Taylor played at IE for 4 years, and after graduating from Lee’s Summit West in 2017, he now plays baseball at the University of Central Missouri. He took a few minutes to share his experiences playing at the collegiate level and how it differs from playing high school baseball.
Grant Baird is a multi-sport athlete who models his gameplay on several sports legends. The criteria for athletes he admires are character and work ethic, two qualities that are easily noticeable in Grant. The Lee’s Summit High School senior shared a little insight into how he developed such a huge sense of family and how it impacts his game.
Sam Tatum is one of those baseball players–all action and few words. The senior middle infielder/outfielder will graduate from Rockhurst High School this year (2018) and looks forward to continuing his baseball career at the next level. Considering his dedicated work ethic, Sam should have great success finding a place to play ball next year.
