INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 21 Barbers Hill Eagles
No. 21--Barbers Hill Eagles Baseball
2022: 24-9 (Bi-District Finalists)
HC: David Denny
The Eagles enjoyed an impressive 2022 season, finishing with a 24-9 record to punch their ticket to the postseason. That would be great for any other program, but we are talking about Barbers Hill – the 2021 Class 5A State Champions.
Although they fell to La Porte in the Bi-District round, Barbers Hill can learn from being bounced early in the postseason. Head coach David Denny will have plenty of talented athletes to work with, particularly seniors SS Jace Martinez (SHSU-signee), CF Carson Garrett (Tarleton State), catcher Gage Kimble (Odessa), and RHP Briley Van (Hill College).
After moving to District 17-5A, Barbers Hill will look to become the new bullies of the division in hopes to continue their growing streak of playoff berths.

VYPE 2021 Baseball Preview: Public School #4 Barbers Hill
A sign of great teams is being solid up the middle. Coach David Denny is a believer in that philosophy and is blessed with some defensive talent to keep opponents honest.
Cameron Cauley (Texas Tech) and Raithen Malone (Temple) are super slick middle infielders, while Trevor Bates (LeTourneau) is solid behind the plate. Hunter Mercer is going to need a big season on the mound and in the outfield for the Eagles to make school history by reaching the Regional Finals.
Simon Larranaga (Temple) can play either corner positions and will be a big stick in the lineup. Port Neches-Groves, Galena Park, and Crosby will push the Eagles in district play.
