2013-2014 Baseball Signees

Steve Appel, head baseball coach at Oklahoma Panhandle State University, has announced his early signees that will join the team in the 2013-2014 school year. The seven players are all from the Albuquerque, N.M. metro area and include:

Name School Position Ht. Wt.
Dylan Chavez Del Norte High School RHP/3B 6'4 185
Evan Offutt Rio Rancho High School LHP/1B 6'1 250
Brock Sullivan Volcano Vista High School C/3B 5'11 170
Dylan Dudley Volcano Vista High School 1B 6'2 190
Ricky Griffin Sandia High School RHP 6'0 170
Brian Fox Volcano Vista High School RHP 6'2 185
Patrick Gonzales Eldorado High School RHP 6'2 180

Appel said, "I am very pleased with the signing of these young men. Not only did we sign great kids, we signed players that come from some of the best high schools in New Mexico who compete against each other every year for the state title. My goal has been to build a program the right way, from every aspect. What we have brought in have been students not only successful on the diamond, but off the field and in the classroom. In my opinion, for us to achieve what we want to at OPSU, we need to bring in team members who not only buy into the program, but also those who are ready to come in here and change this program for the better, and that takes great discipline. I'm excited with the guys we have currently in this program and the guys that will be joining us next fall. We won’t stop here—we plan on continuing to attract some of the region's better kids as our program grows."
