Windermere baseball's Eric Lassiter and Ty Head win big at Metro Awards

Windermere baseball coach Eric Lassiter and senior Ty Head both won big at the Metro Conference award ceremony. Head, an outfielder committed to play at NC State, was named OCPS Male Athlete of the Year, while Lassiter was named OCPS Coach of the Year. 

The two were vital to the Wolverines’ historic 2024 season and run to the Class 7A state championship game. At the plate, Head had a batting average of .408 (40-98) and an on-base percentage of .546, to go along with 19 RBIs, two home runs, 44 runs scored and 28 bases stolen. 

Lassiter, Windermere baseball’s only-ever coach, has built the Wolverines into one of the best programs in the state since taking over in 2018 — winning 20 or more games in a season four times.
