The 6-foot-1, 205-pound senior third baseman and right-handed pitcher had led the Comets (22-5) to the Division I regional semifinals at the time of his selection. Northcut batted .379 (30-for-79) with three home runs, 19 RBI, 26 walks and a .537 on-base percentage through 27 games. On the mound, he produced a 2-1 record with three saves and a 1.44 ERA, striking out 30 batters in 25 innings pitched. A three-time First-Team Greater Miami Conference selection and two-time First-Team All-Ohio honoree, Northcut is ranked No. 36 in Baseball America’s list of Top High School Prospects.
Northcut has maintained a 3.34 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball on scholarship at Vanderbilt University this fall, but is projected as an early-round selection in June’s Major League Baseball draft.
Northcut has volunteered locally with the Challenger League, a baseball organization for children with special needs. He has also donated his time as an instructor for local youth baseball teams.
