ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - St. Bonaventure Baseball head coach Jason Rathbun has announced six additions to the Bonnies 2027 recruiting class as Preston Woodworth, Sean Achorn, Liam DeHollander, Chayce Kolbert, Markus Jones and Eli Latora have all signed to join the program next fall.

"This is one of the strongest classes we have had during my time here," Rathbun said. "It would not have been possible without the work of our Recruiting Coordinator, Jackson Root, who was all over the summer circuit. We are also thankful for Assistant Coach Noah Baughman diving right in after his hire and helping us land some future Bonnies."


 
Woodworth is a 6-foot-1 right-handed pitcher from Medina, N.Y. In 157.2 innings pitched, he struck out 270 batters while posting a 0.67 ERA at Medina High. Woodworth earned the 2026 New York MaxPreps Player of the Year honor this spring, leading his squad to the Class B state title game with a 10-1 record. Opponents hit just .100 against him this past season. In the postseason, he went 4-0 with a 0.32 ERA and 45 strikeouts. He plans to major in business management at St. Bonaventure.

RATHBUN ON WOODWORTH: "Preston has done nothing but win. He led his team to the state championship as a junior and will be one of the top returning arms in the state after being named MaxPreps Player of the Year as a junior. Physical body with great feel for the zone."
 


DeHollander is a Central New York product from East Rochester where he attended East Rochester High. While there, the 6-foot-3 right-handed pitcher struck out 235 batters across 108.2 innings while compiling a 1.48 ERA and a .133 opponent batting average.  While in high school, he earned All-League honors three times and First Team All-County honors. He has not declared a major yet.

RATHBUN ON DEHOLLANDER: "We went back to the Rochester area to grab another physical pitcher with high ceiling. He has an upper 80's arm with good pitchability. Liam is a great fit for our program."

 

Achorn comes to St. Bonaventure from Oakland, Maine, where he is an outfielder and middle infielder. He posted a .368 average and 1.016 OPS at Messalonkee High. Achorn also bashed five home runs, recorded 29 RBIs and stole 26 bases. He has earned First Team All-Conference honors for his high school. He intends to major in finance.

RATHBUN ON ACHORN: "Electric player with ability to play all over the field. Strong arm, fast, with pop in the bat. We are very excited to watch Sean's development here."
 


Latora is a 6-foot-4 catcher from Woodstock, Ga. At Fellowship Christian School, he produced an .833 OPS as a sophomore. He plans to major in business.

RATHBUN ON LATORA: "Eli is a strong physical catcher out of Georgia that has big power in his bat. Coach Baughman was a huge part of getting Eli to campus and we are excited to add him to our program."
 


Jones is a product of Allentown, Pa. The 6-foot-2 third baseman/pitcher has played in every varsity game during his career at Salisbury High. As a junior, he led the team in OPS, SLG, doubles, triples, HR, and RBIs. During his sophomore year, he tied his team high for extra-base hits. He intends to study computer science.

RATHBUN ON JONES: "Markus is another athlete that has been a very good hitter as well as a successful arm on the mound. He has proven to throw strikes with multiple pitches. He will be a very good addition to our pitching staff."
 


Kolbert is a product of Lancaster, N.Y. where he has earned Frist Team All-Western New York as well as First Team All-Catholic honors. He's a 6-foot-1 shortstop and pitcher that also played basketball and football.

RATHBUN ON KOLBERT: "We have followed him for a few years. He's an athletic kid who was primarily a shortstop but also made a move late to the mound. Fast-twitch athlete with smooth movements. We are excited about his talent."
