Cam Cannarella: The man with the slow heartbeat, who can roll out of bed and hit a 2B

The man with the slow heartbeat is back to roam center field for the Tigers this season, and his head coach thinks there’s room for even more growth.

Sophomore Cam Cannarella fashioned a superlative freshman season for the Tigers in 2023, hitting .388 in 59 games with 16 doubles, three triples, seven homers, 47 RBI and 24 stolen bases in 29 attempts.

Cannarella showed his hitting prowess early in the season and never slowed down, and head coach Erik Bakich sees even more growth ahead for the South Carolina native this spring.

“He’s continued to keep the target on growth and improvement, and he's added strength and added size, and he's a guy who could get out of bed at 6 AM and probably hit a double,” Bakich said recently to D1Baseball.
