HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall Baseball Head Coach Greg Beals announced the signing of student-athletes to the team’s 2025 Signing Class on Wednesday.

“This is a group of young men with high character that will be great additions to the Marshall Baseball Family,” Beals said. “A couple of left-handed pitchers, a couple of left-handed bats and a speedy outfielder highlight this group. The addition of left-handed pitching is critical to our ball club as it brings much needed balance to our pitching staff.  Obviously, a smaller recruiting class on the heels of a very large class last year. The direction of the program is moving strongly in an upward direction and these talented student-athletes will continue to raise the bar.”

Beals announced the signing of Braylon Cordonnier, Landon Doll, Ty Householder, Hunter Richardson and Carter Walters.

“Recruiting elite student-athletes requires the tireless work of our entire staff and department,” Beals added. “I greatly appreciate the support and contributions made by Jake Aganus our Academic Coach and Bryan Booth our Athletic Trainer. Our recruiting efforts are led by Tim Donnelly our Associate Head Coach and recruiting coordinator, but it takes work from the whole team, Pitching Coach Taylor Sandefur, Assistant Coach Blair Everhart and Director of Operations Brian Karlet.”

“A multi-sport athlete in high school, we are excited about the player development growth we see in Braylon.  A physical left-handed hitter with a hit tool and power potential.  Primarily a shortstop and pitcher now, I see him as a prototype third baseman.”

“A long, lean lefty with clean arm action.  Landon has a very high ceiling and player development is what we do.  A competitor and strike-thrower that comes to us from a strong HS program, we see a bright future.”

“A speedy outfielder with defensive skills to handle centerfield at this level.  Ty’s speed plays well for him both in the outfield and on the base paths.  He has some pop in that bat, we are excited about the speed both on offense and defense as well as his bat.”

“A two-way athlete, Hunter comes to us as a LHP and right-handed hitting first-baseman.  A great competitor and absolute strike thrower, Hunter will have an opportunity to make an immediate impact on the mound.  He is very athletic and has power potential with the bat.”

“A corner outfielder, Carter possesses a physical left-handed bat.  We are excited about Carter’s ability to hit and hit for power.  That bat will make an impact to our line-up.”
