Roberson baseball's Holt Gaston is headed to play Division I baseball.
Gaston, a rising senior, announced his commitment to North Carolina State in a post on X on July 15.
Gaston was an All-WNC second-team selection as a pitcher this past season after going 6-0 with a 3.53 ERA in eight starts and 11 appearances. He struck out 51 batters, walked 24 and held opponents to a .227 batting average. He was named the Mountain Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year.
At the plate, Gaston, who also played outfield for the Rams, batted .303 with four home runs and 26 RBIs.
Gaston will play alongside Polk County's Gunnar Alm, who affirmed his commitment to the Wolfpack after going undrafted in the MLB draft, and former West Henderson star Truitt Manuel, who just finished his redshirt freshman season with the program.
He also continues a trend of Roberson players going to the Division I level. Among players from the Rams' recent string of three state championships, pitcher Micah Simpson went to UNC-Wilmington, while first baseman Caden Davidson went the JUCO route before announcing his transfer to Florida this offseason. Several others have played at North Carolina programs like UNC Asheville and East Carolina.
