The Auburn pledge struck out 10 batters in Glenwood’s deciding win over Gordo last week.
The future of Auburn baseball is bright as one of its 2025 commits recently led his high school team to a state championship.
Mason McCraine, a 6-7 utility player from Glenwood School in Smith’s Station, Alabama, and the brother of current Auburn player Brandon McCraine, recently played a large role in Glenwood’s state championship run. The Gators took down Gordo High School in two games during last week’s action to win the AHSAA Class 3A state championship at Jim Case Stadium in Jacksonville. The win was Glenwood’s first state championship as a member of the AHSAA.
McCraine was a vital piece to his team’s championship run. He logged two hits and two runs in Glenwood’s 7-4 game one win over Gordo, and followed suit in game two by striking out 10 batters and allowing two runs on the mound. He added another hit at the plate in the Gators’ 12-3 state championship win.
McCraine is one of 10 players committed to play for Auburn as part of its 2025 signing class, and one of six commitments that hail from Alabama. According to Perfect Game, Auburn holds the No. 27 signing class from the 2025 cycle, and ranks No. 13 in the SEC in a conference that occupies the first seven spots in the rankings. The Tigers boasted the No. 5 signing class in the 2024 cycle with signees such as Christian Chatterton, Chris Rembert, Chase Fralick, and Jackson Sanders contributing to Auburn’s success early in their careers.
