The Law baseball season is in full swing and one of the team’s most valuable players has been senior pitcher Hunter Hoxie.

Hoxie is one of three senior captains on this years’s team along with Declan Wywoda and Alex Bludevich.

Hoxie, who has been committed to Rutgers University since his sophomore year, has led Law on the mound and with his work ethic. He said he takes his role as captain very seriously.

“Being captain I have a little bit of control over the team and I’m able to guide them” Hoxie said.  

Law Head Coach Mr. Simler said he knew early on in Hoxie’s career that he would be a standout performer.

“Hunter has progressed all of the years he has been here at Jonathan Law,” Simler said. “From the time he was in 9th grade, we knew he would end up a good pitcher because of his tremendous work ethic.” 

Hoxie has been labeled as a great leader and role model by many, especially by his co-captain Wywoda.

“Hunter is a great leader and is great at showing examples to everyone and making sure everyone is on track and staying focused,” Wywoda said. “He makes sure that we are all working towards the common goal of being the team we want to be.” 

Hoxie is excited to continue his baseball career at Rugers next year.

“At first it was pressuring being committed during my sophomore year but I got used to it and it’s very relieving and honoring from a college standpoint,” Hoxie said.
