2022-23 TWHS Baseball
INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 2 The Woodlands Highlanders
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).

VYPE Baseball Preview: No. 13 The Woodlands Highlanders
Coach Ron Eastman is a legend.
He has nearly 650 wins, he has stars in the MLB and State hardware in the trophy case. The Highlanders finished fourth in District 13-6A but ended up in the Regional Quarters before falling to district-mate Grand Oaks in three games. Back in the fold is District MVP Brayden Sharp (Baylor), who will be the ace and can completely mash
the ball at the plate. He will be joined by Carter Doucet (UL-L), who can also put the bat on the ball as a returning first-teamer. Behind the plate is Nathan Owens, getting everyone in position and calling the pitches. Parker McGill and Harrison DiPasquale will handle the middle-infield with a football mentality. Opposing base-runners better hit the deck. Jake Escovedo is a young talent at the plate and in the outfield and Ethan Coronel (HBU) should be the team’s No. 2 pitcher. Tyler Brautigam should also pitch in.
