Hoiland Returns, UW's Clark Added To 2024 Roster

AppleSox head coach Mitch Darlington announced on Monday the addition of two players to the 2024 roster. Max Clark of Washington and Cam Hoiland of Cal Poly have both been added with less than a month to go until Opening Day.

Clark has not appeared in any games in his freshman season at Washington but comes to the AppleSox after an impressive prep career. He helped lead Mercer Island to a 3A State Championship in 2022 while also earning first team all-league honors each of his last two years of high school. Clark was also ranked as the top third baseman and 22nd-best overall player in Washington state’s class of 2023 by Perfect Game. He appeared in three games last season with the Victoria HarbourCats prior to joining the Huskies.

Hoiland returns for a second season in Wenatchee as a valuable weapon for Darlington. The Renton native recorded 32 at-bats but did his most impressive work on the mound, posting a 0.60 ERA with 13 strikeouts and eight walks over 15 innings in three games. He picked up the win by tossing six innings in both of his starts before recording a three-inning save on June 21 at Kamloops. 

Hoiland has hit .263 in 31 games while also recording a 2.45 ERA with five strikeouts and one walk over three innings in three appearances on the bump at Cal Poly. He earned First Team All-NWAC North Region 2023 as a pitcher at Bellevue when he had a 1.43 ERA with 88 strikeouts and 30 walks over 75.1 innings in 14 games (all starts).

The 2024 season begins on May 31 as the AppleSox host the Port Angeles Lefties at 6:35 p.m. at Paul Thomas Sr. Stadium. The AppleSox have 31 home games and play until mid-August. Single-game tickets are available for purchase now at applesox.com/schedule with admission as affordable as $8.
