Demons introduce 19-player baseball signing class

NATCHITOCHES – The 19-member Northwestern State baseball signing class of 2019 leans slightly to the left.

Coach Bobby Barbier’s third full signing class, which he announced Monday, features a healthy dose of both left-handed hitters and left-handed pitchers along with a mix of junior college and high school arms and one four-year transfer.

“Bert (assistant coach Chris Bertrand), (assistant coach) Taylor (Dugas) and (assistant coach) Spencer (Goodwin), here on campus, have done a great job putting this class together,” Barbier said. “I wish everyone could understand the sacrifices they make to go out and find players that fit what we are looking for in these student-athletes. I want to especially thank Lori Bertrand, Brae Dugas, and my wife, Kody, for their patience and understanding the demands of putting together a class like this.

“These 19 student-athletes are taking on the responsibility of carrying out the Demon tradition so many have worked to uphold. We think they fill many needs across the board, especially replacing a pitching staff that graduated seven seniors. These men will be an asset to our school and our community, and I can’t wait for our fans to get to meet them.”
