Windermere High baseball’s Ty Head has been named an American Baseball Coaches Association All-American and Gold Glove winner.

Head is the only Central Florida player recognized in both honors.

Following a phenomenal senior season, which saw his Wolverines win a regional championship and reach the FHSAA Class 7A finals for the first time in school history, Head has been racking up the accolades.

To go along with his selection to the ABCA All-American third team and Gold Glove team, he also was named the Orange County Male Athlete of the Year and selected to the FACA All-Star game.

Head, an NC State commit and possible first-round MLB draft selection, led the Wolverines from the plate with a .408 batting average, 44 runs scored, 19 RBIs, two home runs and 28 stolen bases.
