DCC Baseball adds Utah Middle Infielder
Wyatt Sorensen commits to Buccaneers
Wyatt Sorensen from Bear River High School in Garland, Utah has committed to Dawson Community College Baseball. While at Bear River, Sorensen capped off a great high school career with an outstanding senior season earning numerous accolades. The middle infielder was selected First Team All-Region and the Standard-Examiner named him All-Area 2nd Team. He was selected to the Utah 3A 2nd Team by the Salt Lake Tribune and Utah 3A All-State First Team by the Deseret Newspaper.
Head Coach Chris Lewis commented, “We got the chance to work out Wyatt while we were down in Utah and I am glad we did. He has the actions of a good infielder, he can run very well and he can swing that bat as well. It became very apparent in a short amount of time that he comes from a great supportive family, he is a good baseball player, but more importantly, he is the type of young man we want in this program, hardworking and hard-nosed. We are really excited to have him in the program and he will have a shot to compete right away.”
Sorensen played in the Northwest Regional Class A American Legion Tournament, the Underclassman Futures Game and was a part of the Utah 3A All-Star Game. Wyatt played his fall baseball with the Cache Valley Beavers and the Cache Valley Flying Squirrels. “He is a baseball guy, who understands that college baseball is not something you do for two hours a day but a lifestyle,” said Coach Lewis.
On choosing DCC, Sorensen had this to say, “DCC fits my criteria which is a small college, offers an AG degree, similar country lifestyle and has a baseball team. I have been following the baseball team and I know it is just going to get better. I received a phone call from President Mickelsen informing me that he knew my country because he did his internship at Rose Ranch which is only 25 miles west of where I live. I received phone calls from the DCC coaching staff informing me about baseball. That was impressive along with the President of a college and a coach taking that much time out for me. I knew then, that going to DCC was where I needed to be.”
