Martin hopes final showcase leads to college opportunity

Lizi Arbogast / Tallapoosa Publishers Holtville's Hunter Martin takes a swing.

After starring for three years with the Holtville baseball team, Hunter Martin did not see the offers from college programs start rolling in like he was hoping for. However, he never got discouraged and is continuing to pursue his dream of playing at the next level.

The Alabama Baseball Coaches Association is hoping to help make that happen as Martin was one of just over 100 players to participate in the annual Unsigned Senior Showcase last week in Montgomery.
