Top 10 Arizona HS baseball players in Class of 2024

2. Mason Russell, LHP, Casteel

While teammate Landon Hairston took care of the at-bats, Russell played his part on the mound on the way to the 5A state championship with the Colts. Russell struggled in the championship game but he was a big reason they got there, tossing a no-hitter with one walk and six strikeouts in the state semifinal.
