HPC's Robbie Cecil The Quiet Swinger
High Point College star Robbie Cecil leads HPC in four offensive categories and anchors the Panthers in a season build toward a conference tournament run. The junior center fielder backs a unique batting stance and steady hitting, aiming for a high average after prior seasons of .360 and .340. Cecil credits his mental approach and his father’s support for his confidence, and he adapts to left or right handed pitching as needed. The season outlook hinges on the Carolinas Conference tourney and further tournaments.
