Witzke says he’ll play another year


CHRIS WITZKE

After having his best season ever as a collegiate baseball player, former Humboldt High standout Chris Witzke has decided to play one more year.
Witzke, a 2017 HHS graduate and a member of the Harding University (Searcy, AR) squad, started all 41 games this past season for the Bison, who finished 23-18 overall, 18-16 in the middle of the Great American Conference.
Witzke was sixth on the team in hitting. He hit two home runs, two triples and nine doubles, to go along with six steals in 10 attempts. He had an on-base percentage of .415. His fielding percentage in right field was .938 with four errors.
With the COVID-19 pandemic cancelling the 2020 season mid-term, the NCAA granted athletes at all levels the opportunity to have an extra year of eligibility.
A year ago Witzke wasn’t sure if he would take the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA. He says his decision has become more clear-cut over the last several months.
