In his debut campaign with the Commodores in 2023, Horn totaled 15 innings pitched and a 3-0 record. He notched 17 strikeouts compared to 13 walks and concluded the year with a 5.40 ERA.
Horn played high school baseball at JSerra Catholic High School. He was the No. 109 overall player and No. 31 RHP in the 2022 recruiting cycle, per Perfect Game. Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin has praised Horn in the past.
“David is starting to make great progress on our staff,” Corbin said. “The physical stuff is undeniable, but the maturity, focus and desire to be good, is beginning to take shape. He shined in key moments on the mound last year as a freshman and built on them this summer in the NECBL.
“David is a low maintenance young man and a pleasure to coach. Mature, self-directed, personable, and competitive. Everything matters to him, as shown by his work in the classroom.”
Vanderbilt finished the 2024 campaign with a 38-23 overall record and a 13-17 mark in conference play. The team suffered a season-ending 10-9 loss to High Point in the Clemson Regional. David Horn Jr. did not see action in the game.
ECU transfer OF Bristol Carter commits to Auburn
The 2024 season didn’t go how Auburn wanted it to on the diamond, but they’re hoping to change that next season. On Monday, Auburn landed a transfer commitment from a very highly touted player, getting the commitment from former ECU outfielder Bristol Carter.
Carter officially entered the NCAA transfer portal 11 days ago on June 6.
During the 2024 season, Carter hit .346 with two home runs and 31 RBI as a freshman at ECU. He played in 56 games with 46 starts, primarily playing left field. He profiles more as a center fielder, and spent some time there during the season as well.
Carter was named to the All-AAC Freshman Team and has earned Second Team Freshman All-American honors from Perfect Game.
In addition to his two home runs, Carter had seven doubles and a triple. He struck out 23 times at the plate, walking 12 times with six hit by pitches. He stole four bases on the year, though he has dynamic speed that makes him an immediate threat on the basepaths.
Even with just two home runs on the season as a freshman, Carter does have some pop in his swing and could add some power to his game as he continues to develop.
