Last year he hit .431 with six home runs, en route to 2A Player Of The Year honors. Bugni had multiple Division I schools reach out to him, and he chose Washington State this past Summer...

Key Players Jackson Van De Brake SS - Jackson comes from a long lineage of quality Van De Brake baseball players. The returning First Team All Leaguer has a compact swing that generated a .338 average last season. Defensively he’s as good as they come at shortstop...

Key Players Garrett Wolfe C/P - He’s a returning All League player that hit a high quality .429 last season. Wolfe is going to be a workhorse both as a pitcher and catcher. It’s a lot of responsibility, but the Rangers need him to step up...

Key Players Justin Hudson SS/P - Hudson returns as one of the top players in the EWAC this season. Last year he had an incredible season with a .418 average and 30 runs scored. He’s also going to be one of the Coyotes top pitchers. Dawson Byers 3B/P - He’s a returning second team all EWAC performer...

A featured starter on the basketball team and the unquestioned ace of the baseball team were his calling cards...
