Hancock Pitcher Kyle King Commits to Long Beach State
A sixth member of Allan Hancock College baseball's 2016 team has earned an opportunity to play at a four-year university. Left-handed pitcher Kyle King has committed to Long Beach State University, a Division I-program and member of the Big West Conference.
"It's with great pride to have several of our student-athletes sign with four-year institutions," said head coach Chris Stevens. "It not only demonstrates their ability and work ethic on the field, but in the classroom as well."
Barrick and King could face each other next spring. The Gauchos and Dirtbags are both members of the Big West Conference that are nationally ranked in contention for bids to the NCAA Regionals.
Stevens said infielders Zach Lampreia and Jacob Tonascia could commit to four-year institutions within the next week.
