Hillsboro’s Dawson Boldt has always been a player who is known as “silent but violent’ throughout high school.
“Dawson is a quiet, but fierce competitor who will do whatever it takes to help the team win,” head coach Daniel Moss said. “He is a great teammate who is willing to help the younger players whenever he can.”
No matter what goes on and off the field, Boldt has always been seen as a great player and person.
“This means a lot to me because I take great pride in my character and work ethic,” Boldt said.
Boldt is a center fielder, shortstop and pitcher who brings a lot of power, consistency and leadership to the Trojans.
“My goals are to do my job on offense and defense for the team’s success,” Boldt said. “Our team goal is to get better each and every day and keep high intensity every day in practice.”
The senior was selected as an all-league second-team and an all-state honorable mention outfielder last season.
Despite the team struggling, Boldt is having another great year with a batting average of .431, on base percentage of .482 and fielding percentage of .982.
Boldt knows that he can help his Trojans stack some wins before he heads off to college next season.
“I am planning to play baseball at Baker University,” Boldt said. “I chose this college because they have a great program and coach who is experienced and serious about winning.”
