Shawnee Heights baseball star signs NLI to Oklahoma State

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – Shawnee Heights baseball standout Deacon Pomeroy made it official with Oklahoma State baseball on Monday, signing his National Letter of Intent at the high school.

Pomeroy has been committed to the Cowboys for over a year, and told 13 Sports that finally signing his NLI took a big weight off his shoulders.

As one of the top recruits in the state, he’s racked up his fair share of accolades in his high school career.

The catcher and power hitter is the reigning 5A Player of the Year, UKC Player of the Year, and a 1st Team All-State Selection.

He believes Oklahoma State is a program that will help him reach his ultimate goal, making it to the MLB.

“It really felt like family,” Pomeroy said about his visit to Stillwater. “That seemed what they really intended for us to be. They took very good care of us, and honestly they have very top notch facilities. So it’s kind of a no-brainer at that point.“

For now, he’s excited to enjoy his final year of high school baseball with the Thunderbirds.

“It’s that last bit of kind of feeling like this is for fun. Like just go out here and have fun with the boys and just go play,” he said.

Pomeroy can also be found hitting the court with the boys basketball team this winter.
