This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Maryland baseball earned commitments from local class of 2025 recruits Sammy Berman and Nate Hawton-Henley over the past five days, with Berman announcing his decision last Wednesday and Hawton-Henley doing so on Sunday.
Berman, listed as an infielder and pitcher, currently attends Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland, where he earned first-team all-division honors in each of his first two years. As a sophomore, he hit .353 for the Vikings with an earned run average of 2.14 in nine appearances on the mound.
Hawton-Henley is enrolled at St. John’s College High School, ranked by multiple outlets at the end of last season as the top team in the Washington, D.C. area and one of the best in the nation. He primarily plays outfield and pitches, with his fastball topping at 90 miles per hour.
