Central Catholic’s Will Ray is the lastest WPIAL baseball recruit heading south.
The left-handed hitting outfielder committed Monday to Wake Forest, continuing a trend that’s seen ACC and SEC schools recruit players from Western Pennsylvania. Among them, Blackhawk graduate Michael Turconi was a freshman for the Demon Deacons this past season.
Ray announced his decision on Twitter.
Wake Forest went 31-26 overall last season and 14-16 in the ACC.
I am extremely happy to announce I have committed to play baseball at Wake Forest University. I want to thank my family and everyone else that has helped me get to this point. Go Deacs! ? @USElitebase @WakeBaseball @bill_cilento @WaltWFU @PerfectGameUSA pic.twitter.com/U90uWEWSRi
