IU Baseball 2019 Recruiting Class

Recommended Posts

North’s Steele commits to Indiana

Dylan Steele plays once every year at Bart Kaufman Field as part of the Bloomington North-Bloomington South rivalry.

Steele, the rising junior for North, will be playing at Indiana’s baseball venue a whole lot in a couple of years. He committed to the Hoosier baseball program on Friday night.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to go to IU and play for my hometown,” Steele said. “I think it’d be cool to support my hometown. I’ve lived here my whole life as a Hoosier.”

Steele was a first-team all-area selection for the Herald-Times as a sophomore, batting .408 with a .507 on-base percentage and seven doubles. The righty also led the Cougars with 45 strikeouts on the mound.

Steele said the Hoosiers view him as a two-way player, for now, with the ability to play the outfield or pitch. He is on the same travel team as Columbus North’s Parker Maddox, who is also committed to Indiana.

IU coach Chris Lemonis has been scooping up lots of area talent lately. Linton’s Kip Fougerousse committed to the Hoosiers last weekend. Bloomington South’s Alex Franklin, a rising senior pitcher, has also been committed to IU. South’s Tyler Van Pelt will be a freshman for the Hoosiers this coming season.

Staying at home made sense for Steele.

“I love the campus, the campus is beautiful,” Steele said. “The new facilities are nice. The new scoreboard they are putting in, that should be very nice. It all just feels like home to me, because I’ve been here for so long.”

CC, you do a great job. I just wanted to point out that the 3 JUCO kids we have committed will all be on campus this fall. They are part of the "2018" recruiting class and will be graduating from IU in "2020". The years listed for the other commits are the years they'll graduate HS. If all that makes sense.

Thanks. Nice catch. I had Gordon, Bridge and Mitchell Price (Same school as Bridge) in the '18 thread so that makes 4 JUCOs unless Price jetted. I'll take them others out of the OP.

Price did decommit. 

From the looks of those 3 stats, they should all contribute this coming year.
