Garringer was forced to grow up quickly after losing his father, Matt, in car accident when Garringer was 11.

But Jodi, Garringer's mom, made sure her son kept moving forward.

"She (Jodi) has been there to support me," Garringer said. "She's a single parent but has never missed any of my games."

Garringer, a pitcher, took a risk last season by changing his delivery, dropping down to a submarine angle. The risk paid off as Missouri liked what it saw out of the senior with good grades. Nelson and Wood also are excelling in the classroom as well as on the baseball field.
