by Matthew Meier

The California Post Graduate program is excited to announce the recent signing of a talented baseball athlete. Derrick, a 2023 CF/2B standing at 5'10" and weighing 161 lbs, brings a formidable set of skills to the team.

Derrick's impressive abilities include a max radar velocity of 82 mph, showcasing his strong throwing arm. With a remarkable 60-yard dash time of 6.40 seconds, his speed and agility make him a valuable asset on the field. Notably, Derrick is also a switch hitter, demonstrating strength and versatility from both sides of the plate.

"In Derrick, we have found a dynamic player who brings speed, athleticism, and versatility to our team," says Director of Baseball Operations, Casey Dill. "His performance on the field, combined with his dedication as a student-athlete, makes him a valuable addition to our program."

Head Coach Zack Novis also expressed enthusiasm about the signing, stating, "We are thrilled to have Derrick join our team. His well-rounded skill set, from his ability to track down balls in the outfield to his strength as a switch hitter, will greatly contribute to our success."

Derrick's exceptional performance extends beyond his physical abilities. In 2022, he earned recognition as an All Division Team member and was honored as a 1st Team All-County Utility Player, showcasing his outstanding contributions to the sport.

His head coach from Vision Select Baseball spoke highly of him, saying, "Derrick has been a spark plug for our organization. He brings a combination of speed, athleticism, and baseball talent. Derrick earned ALL COUNTY honors on the field and is a great student athlete off the field. He has a unique throwing style, but it works well. Decent velo as a pitcher, solid on the infield, and can really track them down in the outfield...this kid can do it all."

With his diverse skill set and outstanding achievements, Derrick is poised to make a significant impact on the California Post Graduate program. The team looks forward to witnessing his contributions both on and off the field as he excels as a student-athlete.
