Edwardsville vs. No. 6 O’Fallon

By: Gavin Smith
Manager, Content & Operations/Area Scout

Hunter Baugh, DH, Edwardsville, 2026
Lindenwood commit, ranked No. 39 in the state's senior class. Stands in an athletic 5-foot-9, 148-pound frame with plenty of room for added strength to come. Batted second as the designated hitter. Finished the day 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored and continues to impress our staff as a strong and consistent in-game performer. A right-handed hitter, Baugh works with a simple approach, hands staying direct and quick through the zone. Baugh continues to be a name to follow in the class.
