Baseball Inks Bradley Norton to NLI
Feb 04 | Baseball
PISCATAWAY, N.J.Ā ā Head coach Steve Owens announced the addition of Bradley Norton to the Rutgers baseball recruiting class. A shortstop from Pleasanton, California, Norton signed a National Letter of Intent and will have two seasons of eligibility once joining the Scarlet Knights next fall. He is currently in his second season at Ohlone College.
Ā
"Bradley is an experienced middle infielder who will have an immediate impact role in our program," Owens said. "He is a very talented athlete who has advanced feel and instinct for the game and has really developed his defense through hard work in the past year. Offensively, he is a top to middle of the lineup guy who can hit for power and handle the bat. Brad is a special type of player that we are thrilled to be adding to our program. He has a ton of talent, plays with high energy and displays a great demeanor on the field. Equally impressive, Brad is a great person who communicates well with his coaches and teammates and carries himself with confidence and maturity. He is a class act and we can't wait to have him on our team and in our campus community at Rutgers."
