Bailey Gauthier -- West Genny connection

Freshman Bailey Gauthier played his high school ball at West Genesee in Syracuse. He will compete for time at shortstop again this year with another West Genny grad, Erik Krohl. Bailey was also coached by former Blue Devil Al Schoeneck (a West Genny grad) a few years back when Al was a volunteer assistant at W.G.

Bailey rooms fellow freshman Mike Carmody. Having his former teammate Erik already in our program, and rooming with Mike, whose brother Ryan is a senior at FSU, Bailey and Mike had a smooth transition into college. They are the "Veteran Freshmen".

Bailey also pitched in high school, and put up some good strikeout numbers on the mound. He may see some time for the Blue Devils this spring.

According to coach Palisin, Bailey will have an immediate impact on the team. "Bailey had a great showing in our play date against Gannon. He matches his talent with a killer instinct and attitude. He has already stepped up to show he belongs."
