Uncommitted Sophomore Davis Avera returns after a huge freshman year where he slashed 360/468/640 (1.108 OPS) with high level batted ball data while slugging 8 homers, 18 doubles, and 4 triples. Good for a 47% XBH%. (MLB average 34.5%) A primary CF in HS the 6’2 200 pounder can handle all 3 OF positions (has played all 3 at GC) with the athleticism and speed to play CF and the rocket arm and slug profile to play RF. Avera will play his Sophomore year coming off a freshman spring where he was named both 1st team all state and 1st team all Panhandle Conference in addition to being named a top 10 overall player (pitcher or position player) in the Panhandle Conference.

Jordan Martinez generated five whiffs over 15 pitches, striking out two in one scoreless inning of relief. Three of five whiffs came on the changeup, including both Ks.
Jordan Martinez strikes out two in a scoreless 11th. Both strikeouts came on the low-80s changeup, which he’s comfortable using RvR. 5 whiffs in a 15-pitch frame. End 11: FSU 10, USF 1

Uncommitted Sophomore OF / 1B Luke Badalato @Lucas_Bad2025 has built off a tremendous freshman season with a big fall. Last spring Badalato slashed 348/449/661 (1.109 OPS) including a Panhandle Conf + postseason only line of 398/500/831 with 10 HRs and 6 2Bs. 2026 Fall slash line 333/444/810 (1.254 OPS) with 3 HRs and a microscopic 3.7% K rate (27 PAs 1K) Playing mostly RF last year Badalato features a rocket arm and took home a Panhandle Conf Gold Glove in RF but also handles 1B at a high level. High motor kid who plays the game with a fierceness and tenacity he brings every single day.

Jordan Martinez strands two for a scoreless fifth. Showed a four-pitch mix with a low-90s FB, cutter changeup, and slider in the frame. Coy Clements was behind the plate for the first time that inning, he has been working his way back from an injury. Mid 5: FSU 4, UNF 1

If you’re looking for a lefty reliever this is your guy. Carter is punching out a whopping 55% of batters faced this fall using 2 outlier secondaries that play against both LHH and RHH. Fall stat line 5IP 3 H 0 R 1 BB 12 K 55% K 5% BB You’re also getting high level maturity and leadership. Someone who attacks a high level routine every single day.
Solid fall so far. 5 innings in game and intersquad. 12ks 1bb 1 run 0er 3 hits. Games against chipola, Pensacola state, enterprise, and pearl river. Snk t88 -20hb, 3ivb Cb t80 3000rpm SL t82 3100rpm Ch t82 1800rpm
