INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 3 Ridge Point Panthers
No. 3--Ridge Point Panthers Baseball
2022: 35-6 (District 20-6A Champions/State Semifinalist)
HC: Clinton Welch
The defending district champions return to the diamond on a mission to repeat.
The Panthers, one of the most consistent programs in Texas, are led by ninth-year coach Clinton Welch, who has 622 career wins to his name.
In 2022, Ridge Point advanced far into the postseason, before ultimately falling in the State Semifinals. Therefore, the Missouri City team will be itching to get another chance at the State Title.
The Panther pitching staff is on point with Texas-commit Jack McKernan and senior ace Kellen Gradisar (Lenoir-Rhyne signee), who registered a remarkable 10-0 record with a 0.80 ERA and 68 strikeouts.
Furthermore, returning seniors catcher JJ Kennett (Dallas Baptist) and corners Travis Vlasek (New Mexico JC) and Parker Martin (Allen CC) will look to run it back in their final year at RPHS.
