Spring time means the start of the season many of Plant’s sports, including baseball. Some of the senior players for the team this year hold exceptional talent that could take them to play to college and beyond. Two players in specific, Kyle Tucker and Jake Woodford.

Both players have been committed to play at University of Florida since their sophomore year. They’ve played all four years at Plant under Coach Dennis Braun. “We’ve had a really great team this year and I’m really proud of how we’ve played,” Braun said. “Kyle is probably one of the best players in the country and Woodford is the best right handed pitcher.”

The players have high hopes for the team as well.

“I think we’ve played well this season, some things just haven’t gone our way,” Woodford said. “I believe we have a good chance of winning states.”

The whole team has been playing well playing well all season and contributing to the wins. “More guys have really stepped up and started hitting more and we’re looking to just finish strong,” Tucker said.

Members on the team wish for more players similar to their current seniors. “I think the team is better than they get credit for being. I think younger guys are starting to make their mark to make up for the loss of some of our great seniors we’ll be losing,” said Braun.

Players like Woodford and Tucker have been in the eyes of colleges since their sophomore years.
