INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 2 The Woodlands Highlanders
No. 2--The Woodlands Highlanders Baseball
2022: 25-11 (2nd in District 13-6A/Regional Semifinalist)
HC: Ron Eastman
TWHS is primed for another imminent playoff run. Although finishing second in their tough district last season, the Highlanders proved they were worth fearing by reaching the Regional Semis.
Even more cause for optimism, coach Ron Eastman is embarking on his 23rd consecutive year at TWHS, nearing 700 career victories (665). Achieving that milestone is not out of the question for his storied career, given that his group is brimming with next-level talent.
Specifically, the two-time 13-6A MVP Brayden Sharp (Tennessee-signee), who threw a perfect game against Conroe.
All-state second-baseman Logan Ellefson, first-teamer RHP Ethan Coronel (Houston Christian), and Western Texas-commit Sammy York will also fill out this talented lineup.
If this team’s history is any indication, don’t be shocked if The Woodlands adds another State Title to their trophy case (2000, 2006-National Champion, 2013).
