Over the offseason, App State baseball welcomed five transfers, one of which being a junior outfielder who totaled 12 hits and 11 runs in his first five games as a Mountaineer.
Xavier Moronta, from Miramar, Florida, has only ever known baseball. He started playing the game when he was two and a half years old.
“Ever since then, I remember playing baseball,” Moronta said.
Before committing to App State, Moronta played at Santa Fe College, a long way from Boone.
“To me, my teammates are my family,” Moronta said.
The adjustment to living in the High Country has been an easy process for the Floridian outfielder.
