Following a sensational senior season that included a state runner-up finish, Valmeyer High School baseball standout Easton Wallace has been selected to the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association’s 2017 Class 1A All-State Team.

Wallace, who recently signed a letter of intent to further his baseball playing days at Kaskaskia College, posted a .450 batting average and .783 slugging percentage this spring to lead the Pirates.

“Easton making all-state is well deserved,” Valmeyer head baseball coach Greg Reinhardt said.

His 27 doubles led the entire St. Louis area by plenty, and his 46 RBIs ranked second overall. Wallace, a third baseman, also hit four home runs and scored 46 runs for the Pirates this season.

Wallace’s 186 career varsity hits over four years are a school record at VHS.

“It’s a great accomplishment to be selected to the all-state team,” Wallace said. “It was a fun season and a fun experience to be a part of.”
