Sam Vaughan

I am so excited to announce my commitment to Shelton State Community College to continue my academic and athletic career. First, I want to thank God for allowing me to play the sport I love. Thank you to my family for helping me through all the ups and downs and for always motivating me to be the best I can be . Next, I want to thank the coaches and friends that have helped me along the way. Also, a big thanks to Coach Sprowl for giving me this opportunity! #gobucs

The Golden Gophers got the 🧹 out for a sweep of Benjamin Russell as they advanced to Round 2! The Gophers won game 1, 5-1 behind a complete game from Sam Vaughan. The Gophers go on to win game 2, 4-3 by a complete game from Braden McCrary. The Gophers have Spanish Fort in Round

Wicked combo here from @HYTbball’s Braden McCrary (‘25 AL), who spun a hard overhand breaking ball up to 76 and touched 89 with the heater tonight. Classic pitchers build and a bulldog approach on the mound. @SheltonStateBB commit.

‘25 RHP/3B Samuel Vaughn (AL) collects a pair of hits in game one including a 2B. Bats speed and direct path playing well at the top of the order. #SheltonState commit #PGShowdown @PG_DeepSouth @HYTbball

RHP Braden McCrary (@BonesMac2025, 2025) turned in a 💎 for the Golden Gophers, showing all pitches in his arsenal. Fastball showed late “cut” with 2 quality high spin breaking balls. FB: 86-87 mph SL: 74-76 mph (mid 2900 spin) CB: 69-70 mph Final line: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 Ks @SheltonStateBB recruit. #PBSouth25

3B Will Vaughan (2027) with a huge swing here for Hueytown as they fight back and score 3 in the 7th to force extra innings. Headed to the 9th, tied up at 3-3. #PBSouth25

C Jarret Kauhn (@KauhnJarret, 2025) with yet another loud barrel as he triples to the backside gap after earlier flying out to the warning track in deep RF. 6’1 205 lbs, low 2.0 pop times. Interesting uncommitted senior catcher. He’s stranded at 3B as we head to B9, still tied 3-3. #PBSouth25 || @PB_Uncommitted

INF Sam Vaughan (@SamuelVaughan_, 2025) with a laser to CF that goes for a run-scoring double as the Gophers take a 3-1 lead. Middle-of-the-order bat with a well-connected swing. @SheltonStateBB recruit. #PBSouth25

SS/RHP Sam Vaughan (@SamuelVaughan_, 2025) lines a 🚀 back up the middle, off the glove of the pitcher and it finds it way into right. Golden Gophers making some noise here in the fourth and have cut the deficit to 4-2. @SheltonStateBB recruit. #PBSouth25

1B Baker Davis (@DavisBaker25, 2025) with a loud barrel but nothing to show for it, has gotten off several good swings today. Consistent barrels over the long haul with juice to all fields, present strength. Golden Gophers have taken advantage of several miscues and lead 6-1, headed to the 5th. #PBSouth25 || @PB_Uncommitted

It’s always a great day when we get to celebrate the achievements of our players. Tonight we celebrated the signing of @Bonesmac2025 and @SamuelVaughan_ . Both of these young men will be attending @SheltonStateBB next year. Congrats to both of these young men and their families.

Four years ago today Coach Patterson rounded third and made it to his heavenly Home. His standard and hard work ethic will forever be engrained into Hueytown Baseball. #TheTown loves and misses you Coach! Enjoy your Gus's hot dog and Speedy's bean burrito up there today. #24

Join Hueytown Golden Gopher Baseball in congratulating SS/P Sam Vaughan on his commitment to play the next two years at Shelton State Community College. We're excited to have another Golden Golden help Coach Bobby Sprowl and the Buccaneers. Congrats Sam! Go Gophers! #TheTown

Thank you @TheProspectLab and Coach Travis!

'25 LHP/1B Jackson Stallworth (AL) went out to LF for a 3-run backside HR. Really impressive strength & evident at POC. @PG_Uncommitted #NatElite @PG_DeepSouth

Ma’Kale Holden (‘25 AL) with the power stuff as he sat 90-94 mph up to 95 mph. Hard downer CB at 78-80 mph. @PG_DeepSouth #NatElite #RollTide commit

Michael Vanderhayden II (‘25 AL) going deep to the back side here for an oppo taco. Let’s the ball get deep and enough strength in the hands with a good use of the lower half. @PG_DeepSouth #NatElite #Houston commit

Ethan Walls (‘25 AL) sitting in the upper 80’s up to 90 mph with the fastball, touched 92 mph. Curveball in the mid 70’s. @PG_DeepSouth #NatElite

Gabe Jones (‘25 AL) works the final 2/3 of the game with the FB 89-92 mph and landed the bigger over the top CB at 75 mph. @PG_DeepSouth #NatElite @PG_Uncommitted

Kenyon Hughes (‘25 LA) with a nice piece of hitting to shoot this ball the other way with a direct path through the top of the zone. @PG_DeepSouth #NatElite @PG_Uncommitted
