Union, Camas baseball players sign with University of Portland
Dylan White drills a pitch into the outfield, while Reilly Hennessey and Tyler Hows keep an eye on the action. These three Papermakers will be key hitters for the Camas baseball team this spring.
Two Clark County standouts have signed letters of intent to play baseball for the University of Portland.
Jake Hawken, a pitcher/outfielder at Union, was a first-team all 4A Greater St. Helens League outfielder last spring, who recorded six triple and nine doubles last season.
“Jake might be the best all-around athlete in the group,” Portland coach Chris Sperry said. “He has a great frame, he can throw in the low to mid-90’s and he can run.”
Dylan White, pitcher/infielder/outfielder for Camas, was a second-team all-4A GSHL first baseman last season. A standout in football, White once hit for the cycle while tossing a shutout. He has twice been named Camas’ team offensive MVP.
“Dylan is tremendous football and baseball player who is committing to baseball,” Sperry said. “He has a lot of size and he can hit with some power.”
