\u201cI\u2019m to see all 11 of our sophomores sign in the early period,\u201d said Head Coach Al Corbeil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIts rewarding to see the hard work they\u2019ve put in on the ballfield and in the classroom paying off with scholarships to great four-year institutions\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s who signed and where they\u2019re headed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James Boldin (Bradenton, Fla.): Erskine College<\/strong> Switch-hitting catcher from Lake Wales HS struck out only 15 times in 31 games his freshman year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ty Crittenberger (Lighthouse Point, Fla.): Western Kentucky University<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speedy center fielder covers a lot of ground and is a threat at the top of the order this spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jake Curry (Key Largo, Fla.): UNC Charlotte.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Right-handed sinker-baller went 3-3 in nine starts last year with a 3.00 ERA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kyle Gamble (Live Oak, Fla.): Troy University.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lefty attacks the strike zone with four pitches and is expected to be the Eagles\u2019 ace this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tyler Germanowski (Ashburn, Va.): Liberty University<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sophomore transfer throws in the mid-90s and has a chance to get selected in the MLB draft in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alex Goff (Winter Springs, Fla.): Samford University.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Righthander struck out 74 batters in 55 innings last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Drew Howard (Leawood, Kan.): Rollins College. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sure-handed shortstop anchors infield defense and stole 10 bases and scored 22 runs last season. Converted sidearm reliever found success last year in 25 appearances and should see a lot of innings again this season. Lefty hurler had 28 strikeouts in 28 innings last season and had a very strong fall this year. Athletic outfielder has big power potential after batting .300 last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In nine seasons at Polk State, Corbeil has seen over 90 of his players move on to four- year universities and more than 20 enter the professional ranks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eleven Polk State sophomore baseball players today signed letters of intent to continue their academic and athletic careers in the fall. \u201cI\u2019m to see all 11 of our sophomores sign… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4639,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"31","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"wpai_generated_summary":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","default_image_id":71799,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-polk-state-college-sports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
