Caleb Wulf built on a big season with Southeastern Community College’s baseball team with a strong summer with the Burlington Bees.
Now the infielder has committed to one of the top NCAA Division I programs.
Wulf announced on social media on Saturday that he had committed to Iowa beginning in the 2024-25 season.
Wulf hit .367 with an .800 OPS for the Bees last summer and was named to the Western Conference all-star team. That followed his freshman season at SCC, when he hit .384 with a .964 OPS.
Wulf is the second Bee to commit to Iowa, joining infielder Kooper Schulte.
PROSPECT LEAGUE TEAM CHANGES: The Prospect League added two teams last week — the Dubois County Bombers of Huntingburg, Ind., and the Full Count Rhythm of Hendersonville, Tenn.
Both of those teams played in the Ohio Valley League. Dubois County will replace the West Virginia Miners, who did not play last season in the Prospect League, while the Rhythm will replace the Quincy Gems.
“The Prospect League is thrilled to add two organizations the caliber of Dubois County and Full Count to its membership,” said Prospect League commissioner David Brauer in a statement. “Both have demonstrated success both on and off the field and are poised to be thriving members of the Prospect League. There is no doubt that adding these teams will further enhance this league’s reputation.”
Dubois County played in the Prospect League from 2005-12. The Bombers were members of the Ohio Valley League from 2013-2023 and were the 2021 OVL champions, and play at historic League Stadium in Huntingburg. Originally built in 1894, the stadium was featured in the movies “A League of Their Own” and “Soul of the Game.”
The Rhythm, founded by Full Count Ministries in 2020, was a member of the Ohio Valley League for each of its three seasons, winning the league title in 2022 and 2023.
