Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-5, 225-pound senior left-handed pitcher and first baseman had led the Raiders (14-2) to the Class 4A quarterfinals at the time of his selection. Hartle compiled an 8-0 record on the mound with a 0.60 ERA and 82 strikeouts against just five walks in 46.2 innings. The nation’s No. 4 draft prospect as ranked by PrepBaseballReport, he also posted a .429 batting average with three home runs, 19 runs scored, 18 RBI and an OPS of 1.201 through 16 games.
