Nance, who committed on Friday, was the biggest get. He was ranked #1 overall and possesses a low to mid-90s fastball and plus secondary pitches. He projects to be a front-line starter at some point in his career.
They also have a commitment from the #2 player in the state, Drake Purvis, who is a 6’0, 175lb lefty who can get his fastball into the 90s.
The #3 player in the state for 2024 is Truitt Manuel, a 6’2, 195lb RHP/OF who is also a star football player for Hendersonville.
Truitt Manuel (2024 Fletcher, NC) went 5-inning no-hit innings while running the heater up to 90-mph. Breaker has horizontal action with some teeth. Struck out 11 and did not walk a batter. #UBC #NCState commit @PG_Coastal pic.twitter.com/qtWaCsp5oN

The #5 player in the state is another RPH named Kaden Morris, who is a monster at 6’8, 220lbs. Morris committed in mid-August.
I’m excited to announce my commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at NC State university! I appreciate the coaching staff at NC State for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to God, my parents, coaches, and everybody else that helped me get here. Go pack!🐺 pic.twitter.com/zc2OuFSZEk

As you can see, NC State baseball is putting together a class of elite pitching prospects for 2024, all of whom come from North Carolina.
Good news for the baseball team…Maybe the baseball coach can show Mr Doeren how to recruit the top 10 players in the state…if not, maybe the women’s basketball coach can lend a hand.
