"Gavin Glazewski has really stepped up his game over the last few seasons, growing into a strong and fundamentally sound player,” Hillsborough coach Matt Mosko said. “His versatility of being a pitcher and first baseman make him a valuable part of our roster and someone we need on the field at all times. He is one of the top guys as far as batting average on our team after the first month of the season and is one of our starting pitchers who we count on to go deep into ball games.
“His growth both physically and his maturity, a credit to his football coaches, as well, who shaped him into a well-rounded athlete, will only develop over the course of this season. As a junior, we are excited for the remainder of this season and his leadership to grow as a senior next year."
