Several area high school baseball players were named to the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s 2018 All-State teams.
Four area players made the first team – Hokes Bluff junior Dylan Teague at Class 4A pitcher, Westbrook Christian freshman pitcher Sam Dutton at Class 2A pitcher, Westbrook Christian junior Greyson Robinson at Class 2A second base and Coosa Christian senior Jackson Justus at Class 1A designated hitter.
As the ace of the Eagle pitching staff, Teague went 11-3 with a 1.11 earned run average while striking out 70 and issuing just 13 earned runs in 81.1 innings. His production helped Hokes Bluff post a 28-8 record (including a 9-3 mark in the postseason) and make it to the Class 4A state championship series for the first time in 10 years. Teague did not lose a game during the state playoffs was the lone Eagle pitcher to win a game against Andalusia in the state finals.
In 46 innings, Dutton compiled a 5-2-1 record with 72 strikeouts and a 1.21 earned run average. He allowed only 28 hits and eight earned run over the course of the season and pitched a no-hitter against Verbena in the first round of the state playoffs. Robinson batted .453 with 29 hits, 32 RBI and 20 runs scored. Justus finished with a .438 batting average, 37 RBI and nine home runs. He and Dutton helped the Warriors’ 27-9 record, area championship and berth in the Class 2A state quarterfinals.
Playing primarily at second base and catcher, Justus boosted the Conquerors with .438 batting avg., 37 RBI and nine home runs.
Named to the second team were Etowah’s David Rutledge and Jarren Wright in Class 5A, Hokes Bluff’s Houston Edwards and Sardis’ Logan Gaskin in Class 4A and West End’s Devin Tinsley and Matthew Hood in Class 2A.
A senior first baseman, Rutledge finished the season with a .422 batting average, 43 hits, 37 RBI, 24 runs scored and 17 doubles. A junior outfielder, Wright had a 431bating average, 44 hits, 36 runs scored and 23 RBI. He and Rutledge helped the Blue Devils to a 25-11 record and a final regular season ranking of No. 7.
A junior catcher, Edwards helped the Eagles post a 28-8 record (including a 9-3 mark in the postseason) and a berth in the Class 4A state championship series for the first time in 10 years. He finished the season with 43 hits, 34 RBI, nine runs, eight doubles, five home runs, a .398 batting average and a .611 slugging percentage.
A senior first baseman, Gaskin batted .408 along with 42 hits, 30 RBI and 26 runs scored. A senior outfielder, Ross had .438 batting average, 49 hits, 41 runs scored, 30 RBI, 10 doubles and 21 steals. He and Gaskin helped the Lions win 18 games and make it to the state quarterfinals for the first time since 1987.
A senior first baseman, Tinsley complied a .483 batting average, 29 hits, 27 runs, 20 RBI and eight doubles, while senior outfielder Hood batted .417 with 25 hits and 23 runs scored.
Garnering honorable mention recognition were Etowah’s Will Hotalen in Class 5A and Westbrook’s Garret Kennedy and Cullen Stafford in Class 2A.
A junior pitcher, Hotalen went 5-1 in 49 and two-third innings with an earned run average of 1.83 and 51 strikeouts.
A senior shortstop, Kennedy batted .438 with 46 hits, 52 runs scored, 24 RBI and 36 steals. A senior third baseman, Stafford finished with a .444 batting average, 48 hits, 16 doubles, 47 RBI, 45 runs scored and three home runs.
West End High’s Lexus Collins was the lone local player named to the ASWA All-State softball team. The freshman second baseman made Class 2A honorable mention after hitting .426 with 29 hits, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .975 fielding percentage.
