Oregon baseball announced on Thursday the signing of 10 recruits during this year’s signing period while only two current players, both pitchers, will be graduating. In signing seven pitchers, the team will have a total of 15 players who will throw from the mound during the 2018 season.

Here’s a look at the the nine high school players and one junior college player who Oregon signed.

Breault is a three-year letterman from Kapolei, Hawai’i, who had a 2.76 ERA and 16 strikeouts in 29.2 innings his junior year. Oregon head coach George Horton said that he might develop into a dominant closer if he does not become a weekend starter.

Fuller, who is from Ashland, Oregon, has been named a second-team Oregon 5A all-state. He had a 2.02 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 52 innings his junior year. Fuller also played basketball and football in high school.
