Top 10 Maryland HS baseball players in Class of 2023

4. Joseph McMannis, P, Catoctin

McMannis had high expectations going into his junior season a year ago. That’s because the 6-foot-4, 225-pound right-handed pitcher was on the mound for the Cougars during their 2021 state championship game against St. Michaels as only a sophomore. Despite the pressure around him, McMannis had a strong outing, helping Catoctin win the contest 10-3.

While last season didn’t garner as much team success, McMannis once again proved that he was the real deal as he earned his third consecutive MSABC all-state honors. Expectations are high for the starting pitcher once again this season as he was selected to the MSABC’s preseason all-state team. Following his time at Catoctin, McMannis will stay in state when he joins the University of Maryland.

Congratulations to Joey McMannis who tonight was honored as a 3X Maryland All State selection. 🔥🔥🔥#MountainBall pic.twitter.com/XZx6oglCX1
