Carolina Forest baseball player Gold commits to Coastal Carolina
Another Carolina Forest baseball player has made a verbal commitment to Coastal Carolina.
Senior catcher Ryan Gold, who recently moved to the area from New Jersey, is the younger brother of current CCU baseball walk-on Jared Gold.
The two were among the biggest pieces of Moorestown High School’s program the last two seasons.
“He’s one that fell into our lap,” Carolina Forest coach Jack Jolly said. “We were fortunate that he moved into our attendance area.
“Obviously he’s got some talent and ability, or he wouldn’t [have been able to] commit.”
Last month, Carolina Forest junior pitcher Bryar Johnson made a verbal commitment to Coastal. That came less than a week after senior pitcher Jakob Frishmuth gave his verbal commitment to College of Charleston.
The Panthers were the Class AAAA Lower State runners-up last spring.
