As the 2024 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship has already announced the bracket for the tournament, anticipation is at an all-time high. Arsenal and The Hit Doctor students are gearing up for this thrilling competition, ready to showcase their talent and dedication in the College Playoffs.
Former Arsenal USA players and Hit Doctor students figure prominently in their teams’ chances of making the Playoffs and World Series this year. Featuring Davis Schneider, DL Hall, Mike Trout, Matt Thaiss, Anthony Volpe, Mike Ford, Jack Gelof, Joey Loperfido, Jack Leiter, and Zac Gallen.
Angels star Mike Trout is off to a great start with 6 home runs in his first 11 games becoming the franchise’s fastest player to reach 6 homers to start the season. A first-round pick out of Millville, NJ Mike is a 3 time MVP & an 11-time All-Star.
Outfielder Joey Loperfido who put on a show in spring training for the Houston Astros was optioned out to AAA Sugarland TX to play full-time until needed.
In the world of amateur baseball nowadays it’s very hard to predict who will make it to the big leagues and who won’t. Velocity and hitting home runs along with better training and physical conditioning programs have made it unpredictable. Arsenal USA founder Joe Barth has had close to 300 MLB players over the years between his Hit Doctor, Brooklawn Legion, and Gloucester Catholic stars yet he has seldom predicted MLB status for many of his students because he knows how difficult it is to make it to the big leagues.
Arsenal USA & Bishop Eustace HS grad Zac Gallen got off to a great start again this year for the Arizona Diamondbacks winning his first two games. Zack has quietly been a dominant pitcher in the MLB since graduating from the U of North Carolina.
Catcher-First baseman Matt Thaiss joins fellow Arsenal grad Mike Trout on the Angels major league roster and is currently hitting .500. Matt is an alumnus of the U. of Virginia and Jacksonville Memorial HS.
