UTA baseball’s youngest player holds his own
Freshman pitcher Cade Winquest on April 18 at the University Center. Winquest said he never anticipated being a pitcher until his high school coaches encouraged him to try.This time last year, Cade Winquest was pitching against high school hitters in Haslet, Texas, weeks away from graduating.
A year later, he’s the youngest player on the UTA baseball team, and he’s establishing himself as one of the linchpins of the Maverick pitching rotation moving forward.
“It’s a big adjustment,” Winquest said. “Just going from my summer league and high school to the fall was a big adjustment and just facing our own team. You can just tell how much more mature these hitters are.”
