I am honored and blessed to announce that I will continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Arizona. I thank God, my parents, my friends, and my Coaches for all their support on this long and crazy road.

Felt great on the mound! 2IP, 0H, 4K, 1BB, 1ER. And after 13BB in my last 21PA, I came to hit, too. Went 3-for-5 including a 2-out, 2-strike bomb for the winning runs.

Can't think of anyone more deserving! Battled through everything thrown at him and has come out one of the best players I know. Congrats Case, it's gonna be a fun couple years in the desert my boy!!!
Thank you Coaches Manno, Huber, Miller, Mucha & Perkins for your their time and effort these past four years. Without all of you this program would have never seen the success it has, and neither would I. It's hard to believe its over, but I've had the time of my life. Thank you!
It was great playing with my
@IllinoisIndians
teammates this weekend! They really came through today with their bats to back me up. All-in-all, a great tournament, including this bomb to the foul pole

Had a fantastic weekend on the mound! 4.2 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 9K, 1 BB. FB was great sitting 90-92 for most of the day, and the offspeed was working well (CB was low-80s with bite and CH was also low 80s with sink).

Amazing spring trip for the team and start to the year! Went 4-0 in Gulf Shores (5-0 overall) and just missed the playoff bubble placing 5th out of 45 teams. Go Lions!
@ViatorBaseball
Thanks
@PrairieGravel
for having me at PBR National. Great tourney, going 6-2. The only teams that beat us ended up in the championship! I had a lot of fun. 3-for-8 with 4 walks and a double. Threw 2IP with 4K, 1H, 0BB, 0R. Caught 3 of 5 runners.

What an amazing season, 24-12-2! Made sectional finals and got Coach Manno his 300th win. Thank you seniors for your guidance and enthusiasm this year, you will be sorely missed. For everyone else, can't wait for next year. Let's put up some more banners!

Had a great day today, 3-for-7 with a walk. Had a solid single to left, a 2-on, 2-out, 2-strike bloop to right that turned into a 2-RBI triple, and caught a guy stealing on a great pitch from Chris Bieniek. More fun tomorrow with

Closed the game on 2 IP with the FB up to 88 and the CB up to 77. Gave up one hit but struck out the other 6 batters I faced, 3 each from the stretch and windup. I had fun throwing to

Fantastic end to a fantastic fall season! Thank you Arsenal for giving me the opportunity to play with a great group of guys who can really play. Defense like this made all of us look good!
2021 has been an incredible ride and I want to thank everyone who helped me. First, of course, is my HS team,

‘22 Tony Pluta (IL) has been cruising this morning. He’s pounded the zone with a fastball that’s worked 88-90/91 mph with life. He’s also shown a quality changeup and flashed a hard downer breaking ball occasionally.

So much fun running in the cold! Here I am with a 40 lb weight vest trying to improve my power and endurance. Hoping to shave some serious time off my 60 and become even more of a threat on the base paths. Merry Christmas!!

5 degrees two weeks ago, 50 degrees today! I just had to go out and throw! Yeah, it was tough to find the balls, but it was totally worth it to work on a real field. Can't wait to play
