Hopefully PNW CBR’s list will be a little more complete and include all the schools in the NWAC. SWOCC has a RHP named Zach Elsos who’s committed to Nevada, Umpqua has two RHP’s Hunter Kublick & Kyle Fitzgerald who both are really good, Fitzgerald should also be a force in the MIF. Lane has a couple more quality arms in Elder and Rojas, MHCC has Josh Mansur who transferred from Clark and is a two-way guy.

Multiple players / schools missing off this list and some on it who don’t even play in the NWAC anymore. SWOCC has a RHP named Zach Elsos who is committed to Nevada. Umpqua has two RHP’s in Hunter Kublick & Kyle Fitzgerald who are really good, Fitzgerald should also be a force in the MIF. Rojas & Elder are both quality arms for Lane. Mt Hood has Josh Mansur who is a two-way player that transferred from Clark. Alex Sol, who is on the list, plays for Lewis Clark State College not Mt Hood. Hopefully PNW CBR’s list will be a little more complete and include all the schools in the NWAC.
