Ty Waid, a catcher committed to Arkansas, was the top offensive performer of the Perfect Game World Wood Bat Association World Championships last week.
Waid, 6-1 and 215 pounds of Texarkana, had a score of 55.66 during the 4-day event that featured 88 of the top travel teams in the nation. The second-leading offensive performer was North Carolina commitment Gavin Gallaher, who had a score of 48.95.
Waid competed for the Arkansas Sticks 18-under Brewster/White Sox Scout Team.
Scoring involved batting average. Extra points were earned for doubles, triples, home runs and RBI.
“What Ty did was one of the more impressive things because he had to do a lot of it with breaking balls,” Sticks coach Chase Brewster said.
