Two Martin County baseball standouts sign

Martin County baseball seniors Nick Robert and Jake Schincariol celebrated their signings to continue their baseball careers at the next level on Wednesday with both players staying in-state.

Robert will head south to Coral Gables to the University of Miami but could work his way into the conversation for the 2023 MLB Draft with a big spring in his final high school season.

Last year, Robert was a First Team All-Area selection after a fantastic season for the Tigers as a two-way threat. On the mound, Robert went 7-0 with a 1.71 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 45 innings and at the plate, he batted .448 with nine extra-base hits including two home runs and drove in 19 runs.

Schincariol will go north to play at Daytona State College after his spring season. The outfielder also had a strong season last year helping Martin County go 19-8 in 2021-22, batting .395 in 43 at-bats and drove in nine runs.
