Softball Announces Fall Signing Class
Nov. 8, 2006 WACO, Texas - Baylor softball head coach Glenn Moore announced the signing of five student-athletes to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday. The class, made up entirely of high school athletes, includes three players from the state of Texas. "After signing our biggest recruiting class last season we had another outstanding signing period," head coach Glenn Moore said. "We will lose some power in the line-up following this season and this class is made up of some players who can fill that void from the moment they step on campus. In addition, this is an extremely athletic group that will help our program make strides in all areas from the moment they arrive." The signing class includes the following players: Katlyn Freeland (IF, Pusch Ridge Christian Academy, Tucson, Ariz.), Taylor Marcum (IF/RHP, Purcell High School, Purcell, Okla.), Colby Vanham (C/IF, Uvalde High School, Uvalde, Texas), Jordan Vannatta (UTL, West High School, West, Texas) and Meagan Weldon (IF, Splendora High School, Splendora, Texas) Katlyn Freeland, IF, 5-3, L/R, Pusch Ridge Christian Academy (Tucson, Ariz.) "Katlyn (Freeland) is a consistent player with a tremendous amount of speed," Moore said. "She comes to Baylor from one of the top programs out of the state of Arizona and she should provide an immediate impact up the middle defensively with her athleticism." Taylor Marcum, 1B/P, 5-10, R/R, Purcell High School (Purcell, Okla.)
"Taylor (Marcum) is a high-caliber recruit who is a fierce competitor," Moore said. "She has a bright future ahead of her. Her future is primarily at first base but she has the talent to see time in the circle for us as well." Colby Vanham, C/IF, 5-9, R/R, Uvalde High School (Uvalde, Texas) "Colby (Vanham) is an extremely hard worker with a tremendous amount of upside," Moore said. "She will make us better from the start and is a very coachable player who should have a solid career." Jordan Vannatta, UTL, 5-9, R/R, West High School (West, Texas) "Jordan (Vannatta) is one of the most naturally talented hitters we have ever signed," Moore said. "She is an extremely versatile player who can play almost any position. She is an exceptional hitter who should provide an immediate impact." Meagan Weldon, IF, 5-5, R/R, Splendora High School (Splendora, Texas) "Meagan (Weldon) is an extremely athletic player who will see time in the middle infield, primarily second base," Moore said. "She comes from a long line of great athletes and her athletic ability will benefit our program throughout her career." Baylor Softball 2006 Fall Signing Class |
