MEMPHIS, Tenn. – OF Nick Vaage of Savage, Minn., has signed his National Letter of Intent to join the University of Memphis baseball program, head coach Daron Schoenrock announced Thursday.
“Nick is a very projectable athlete that will have the ability to add the combination of power and speed to our outfield,” Schoenrock said. “We expect Nick to compete for significant playing time as a freshmen and will provide much needed left-handed power to our 2016 lineup. His speed allows him to be an option in centerfield or either corner outfield position. Nick also possess an outstanding work ethic and drive necessary to be successful in college baseball.”
Vaage shined at Prior Lake High School where he was named an all-conference selection in the South-Suburban division. Last season, Vaage hit .360 with 30 hits including seven doubles and six home runs. Vaage finished the year with 15 RBI in the 25 games played. For his career, Vaage has a .340 average with eight home runs and 25 RBI spread across 50 games.
Vaage is the fourth signee in the 2014 signing class that'll debut in the 2016 season. Vaage joins RHP James Muse, RHP Colin Kilgore and C Jason Santana.
Vaage is the son of Martin and Elizabeth Frost-Vaage.
