Class of 2013 Recruiting Update

Thursday March 14, 2013 – More good news on the recruiting front, as Mitch Moormann verbally commits to Emerson College!  Moormann (Chaminade-Madonna Prep, FL) is a switch-hitting shortstop with great hands and incredible footspeed.  Mitch was named 2^nd team All-Broward County after his Junior season last year.  Broward schools contributed ten draft picks to the 2012 MLB draft, including a record three first round picks.  Moorman plans on majoring in Media Production at Emerson, and he joins a very solid group of previously verbally committed recruits: 

Clint Fontanella (Bishop Guertin HS, NH) is a fleet-footed outfielder and right handed pitcher who is expected to pull double duty at Emerson.  He is planning to major in Marketing Communications. 

Josh Kaplan (Glenbrook HS, IL) is a middle infielder with gap to gap power, great hands, and a good arm. He is planning to major in Journalism. 

Cal Laird (Fenwick HS, IL) is a left handed pitcher who works in the high 70s - low 80s and has a tall, wiry frame. He is planning to major in Film. 

Kyle Becker (Jericho HS, NY) is a middle infielder with a very short, quick swing, and runs very well. He is planning to major in Media Production. 

All five verbal commits are going to make a tremendous impact on the team right away in 2014, the Lions' first year in the NEWMAC conference. We are still waiting on verbal commitments from another 4-6 recruits. We will provide updates as we hear from them.
