Recruiting news from around the state

Glendale C/RHP Skyler Ladd (right) has committed to play for Southeast Missouri State next year.  A left-handed hitter, Ladd was an First Team All-Ozarks catcher last season as a junior after hitting .431 and leading his team in both extra-base hits (10) and RBI (17).  This year, the 6-foot-2, 195-pounder hit a team-best .390 and once again led the team in RBI.
