Porterville College baseball sophomore Kaden Twyman has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue his academic and athletic career at Benedictine University at Mesa in Arizona next fall. Twyman made it official at a signing ceremony at the college on Thursday in front of coaches, teammates, and department staff.

Benedictine Mesa competes at the NAIA level and is a member of the California Pacific Conference. Last season, the Redhawks compiled a 33-27 overall record and finished third in the Cal Pac at 18-11.

In signing with Benedictine, Twyman will return to his home state. He was a 2021 graduate of Lake Havasu High School in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. He plans to major in science, nutrition, and allied health at Benedictine with the end goal of becoming a physical therapist.

A left-handed hitting second-baseman, Twyman will serve as team captain for the Pirates this spring and looks to bounce back from a tough freshman season in 2022.

Practices for 2023 get underway in January with the season-opener scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 31 at home against Barstow Community College.
