Coalgate Wildcats Baseball Team – Presented by SafeGuard Insurance Solutions

The Coalgate Wildcats are gearing up for the 2024 season with a determined mindset and a mix of youthful energy and veteran leadership. Head coach David Cagle is optimistic about the team’s potential, emphasizing their dedication to improvement.

“We are a young team, but we do have some experience with our older guys,” said Cagle. “This team looks to improve from our season last year. They are putting the work in every day so that we can achieve the goals we set for our team.”

Senior Easton Wilkinson exemplifies hard work both on and off the field. “He is a hard-working young man in the classroom and on the field,” Cagle noted. “He does not miss practice, and he puts in extra work. He wants to be the best player he can be and works hard to try to achieve that.” As a senior leader, Wilkinson’s dedication sets the tone for the team.

Freshman Jett Walkup is poised to make a significant impact this season. “This young man has a great work ethic and has a chance to play a lot of innings,” said Cagle. “He is a player that puts in extra work on his own time. We expect him to play a big role this year for our team.”

Senior Brody McCollum is the team’s ace pitcher and leadoff hitter, making him an invaluable asset. “Brody does a lot for our team,” said Cagle. “He has been working hard this offseason to be better than he was last year. He is the kind of player that loves to win and will do anything he can to give us that chance.”

Sophomore Jase Burris leads by example with his respectfulness and work ethic. “Jase is a great kid on and off the field,” said Cagle. “He is very respectful and acts the right way. We expect him to help us on the mound and in the batter’s box.” Burris embodies the team’s core values both on and off the diamond.

The Wildcats aim to build on last year’s performance, using the work ethic and commitment of players like Wilkinson, Walkup, McCollum, and Burris as a foundation for success. Coach Cagle’s emphasis on daily improvement and teamwork gives the Wildcats a strong foundation as they prepare for the challenges of the 2024 season.
