Dillon Jamie Callahan has been named one of Baseball America’s Top 100 high school seniors in the country.
The right-handed pitcher was ranked 49th on the list, which was released Tuesday. The South Carolina signee went 3-2 with a 3.88 ERA last season in 12 appearances for the Wildcats. He struck out 87 batters and walked just 25 in 49 innings.
Callahan, who played first and third base when he wasn’t pitching, also hit .431 with seven homers and 26 RBI in earning all-state honors.
The Baseball America honor is just the latest for Callahan to receive. Perfect Game ranks him as the No. 1 high school player in South Carolina, and Diamond Prospects ranks him as the top right-handed high school pitcher in the state.
Outfielder Byron Buxton, from Baxley, Ga., is the top-ranked prospect on the list. The complete list can be viewed at www.baseballamerica.com .
