Hoogerwerf Commits to the Pilots, Comes to The Bluff from Texas

PORTLAND, Ore. --- The University of Portland baseball team landed another recruit as third baseman Ryan Hoogerwerf (Allen, Texas/Allen HS/Cisco College) is transferring to The Bluff and will join the program as a junior next year. Hoogerwerf, who began his collegiate career at Louisiana Tech, hit .344 as a sophomore last spring at Cisco College.

"Ryan is a solid defensive third baseman with corner guy offensive power," said Portland head coach Geoff Loomis. "He will be a middle of the order hitter for us in 2017."

Hoogerwerf also belted eight home runs in 2016, to go along with 14 doubles, a triple, 40 RBI's and 46 runs scored.
