Tigers head coach Chad Foster on each of his seniors:
Cadan Kauffman was our primary shortstop, one of our better defenders, pitchers, hitters, bunters, base-stealers. Attending C of O to play baseball.
Tucker Hilliard is a very versatile player. He can play OF, INF, Catcher, Pitcher. He would of caught more this year than last year. He’s a good, hitter, bunter, and a good hard working kid. He was tabbed to pitch more this year as well. He can steal bases also. Tucker is attending Hannibal-LaGrange to play baseball.
Sam Rutherford is an extremely athletic kid with good baseball instincts and a quick first step. He is a good base-stealer, bunter, and all-out good defensively. He would’ve been our primary 2nd basemen again and would’ve played some 3rd base this year as well. He would’ve pitched more this year also. He had one of our better batting averages last year.
Tate Burkhart has a good arm and had a good year on the mound last year and was being asked to step up even more in that role this year. He does a good job in the outfield and is a good hitter who can steal bases as well.
Briar Tucker is one of the better center fielders in the area, he saves a lot of hits/runs tracking balls down. He’s one of our best hitters and can really run. Also a good base-stealer. He was being asked to pitch more this year as well.
John Caufield hadn’t played high school baseball since his freshman year, but was primed to help us this Spring. He had a good Fall season and would’ve played infield and outfield. He’s a good hitter that would’ve really lengthened our lineup. He can steal bases also. A good hardworking kid.
