THE WOODLANDS, Texas – The Woodlands Strykers are excited to announce the signing of two Louisiana State University Eunice Bengals Pitchers, Brent Hebert and Justin Barton. The pair of freshmen will be donning the Strykers black and gold for Summer 2016.

Brent Hebert has recently finished playing his first collegiate year for LSU Eunice Bengals. In his time at Cypress Ranch High School, from 2013 through 2015, Hebert earned “Player of the Game” five times. When his high school career ended, Hebert finished with a batting average of .353 and an ERA of 1.04. Hebert is ready to capitalize on the opportunity to play.

Redshirt freshman, Justin Barton is standing tall at 6’1”, on the pitchers mound. “Justin is coming from a National Junior College powerhouse. We look forward to depth he will add to our bullpen and what he brings from the left side. He fits our pitching philosophy in that fact that he throws strike 1. We are excited about his possibilities,” said Coach Dillard.
