Saint Louis head baseball coach Darin Hendrickson has announced the addition of five student-athletes to attend the University and play for the Billikens beginning next fall.
Jackson Holmes • RHP • Columbia, Ill. • Columbia High School
- Height: 6'4 // Weight: 190
- Summer team: St. Louis Pirates
- Prep Baseball Report Ranking: No. 100 overall prospect in Illinois, No. 33 pitcher in Illinois
Hendrickson on Holmes: "The sky is the limit for Jackson. He has a very polished, athletic delivery with super-clean arm action. Jackson really loves to compete and excels in many sports. He's another confident arm that fills up the zone and makes opponents try to hit his best stuff."
Brady Patterson • C • Auburn, Kan. • Washburn Rural High School
- Height: 6'1 // Weight: 200
- Summer team: UA Building Champions
- Prep Baseball Report Ranking: No. 14 overall in Kansas, No. 1 catcher in Kansas
Hendrickson on Patterson: "Brady is about as solid as it gets behind the plate, as well on the offensive side of the ball. He can really handle pitchers and control the running game. The swing is already super polished, and he has a knack for grinding out at bats. Brady has a very high baseball IQ, as he seems to be in the right place at the right time and making all the correct decisions."
Daniel Roman • OF • Cliffside Park N.J. • Cliffside Park High School
- Height: 5'10 // Weight: 190

Hendrickson on Roman: "Daniel is a very gifted athlete that can really swing the bat. He's got a chance to hit for a high average, as well as for power. Daniel is a very good runner who plays at a high level on defense. He's very passionate about playing the game, and he will bring an incredible work ethic to our program."
Jack Weber • RHP • St. Louis, Mo. • Chaminade College Preparatory

- Prep Baseball Report Ranking: No. 23 overall prospect in Missouri, No. 11 pitcher in Missouri
Hendrickson on Weber: "Jack is a hometown pitcher with a ton of pitch ability who can throw three pitches for strikes.

Noah Young • RHP • Overland Park, Kan. • Blue Valley North High School
- Height: 6'2 // Weight: 180

Noah always seems to be on the winning side. We're really excited to get him on campus and watch him develop in our program."
