The 6-foot-3, 195-pound senior right-handed pitcher and infielder led the Eagles (17-8) to the Class 5A regional final this past season, posting a 7-2 record on the hill along with a 2.43 ERA and 89 strikeouts in 49 innings pitched. A 2018 Under Armour All-American Game selection and a 2018 USA Baseball 18U National Team member, Cornelio also batted .418 with a pair of home runs, 28 RBI and a .512 on-base percentage.
Cornelio has maintained a weighted 4.12 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball on scholarship at Texas Christian University beginning this fall, but is projected as an early round selection in June’s Major League Baseball draft.
A member of the National Honor Society, Cornelio has volunteered locally on behalf of the Boys and Girls Club of America and as an elementary school literacy-outreach program. He has also donated his time as a youth tutor and baseball instructor.
