Augusta Christian baseball celebrates its largest signing class ever

MARTINEZ, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Augusta Christian baseball program has had a lot of success over the year, winning a total of six state championships.

On Wednesday, they’re celebrating another milestone.

Six seniors are putting pen to paper signing their letters of intent to play college ball.

This is the largest signing class their baseball program has ever had, and it’s headlined by Khaleel Pratt, who signed to play for the University of Kentucky.

“I couldn’t have done it without them, but especially my dad, I mean, he’s the one. He’s taught me how to play baseball since I was little. He’s been basically my only trainer that been consistently working with me. He’s done strength, done skill work, done everything with me and he’s been there. I know he’s not there as much as he wants to be right now, but he’s been there all my life, and I’m truly grateful,” said Pratt.

The defending state champions have home-field advantage in the state playoffs this year.

They’ll be back on the diamond Friday night for their second-round matchup against Pinewood.
