Congratulations to Cayden Moore, Berne Union 2021, for selecting Bryant and Stratton College, Solon, Ohio, to continue his academic pursuits and play college baseball! Bryant and Stratton's team is known as the 'Bobcats' and competes in the tough Region 12 Conference comprised of NJCAA Division II schools like Sinclair Community College, Lansing Community College and Kellogg Community College.

Going to college and playing college baseball is a big deal for anyone, and Post 11 is very happy for Cayden and proud of his accomplishment. He has certainly worked hard and deserves it!

Cayden has played with Post 11 since 14u and was an integral part of the successful 2020 COVID squad that landed a respectable 30 and 18 season. During the 2020 season, Cayden had a 5-3 record on the bump with 3 saves, an ERA of 3.26, faced 205 batters and held them to a mere .239 BAA. He appeared in 33 games with 55 At Bats and hit .400. He had the 3rd highest team OBP at .528. Bottom line, Cayden was a major contributor to the team's success both defensively and offensively; Cayden was a great teammate and his team depended upon him. Cayden is a great athlete, plays 2 sports, and was a critical part to the 2021 Berne Union Rockets Football Team that made its way to the Division VII - Region 27 Quarterfinals. Additionally, Cayden was one of several Post 11 players scouted last summer by on-looking colleges. Post 11 is honored that Cayden is returning for the 2021 season before he heads off to Bryant and Stratton College to pitch for the Bobcats.

Below is an interview with Cayden on his decision to go to college and play baseball. It's a great read. You'll quickly see Cayden's aspiration, goal-oriented perspective and a work ethic fueled by gratefulness and passion.

Will you approach your final year of school ball and summer ball differently now that you are a committed college baseball player? I will not approach anything different because one thing last year taught me is that anything can be taken away at any given moment. So I’m playing every game like it’s my last.
