Fairfield High School senior Voss Richardson has committed to play baseball at Marshalltown Community College, as announced by Prep Baseball Report Iowa.
Richardson, who earned First Team All-Conference and Second Team All-District honors from the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association in his junior season, will join the Marshalltown program as a two-way player with versatility across multiple positions.
In 30 games last season, Richardson hit .404 with a .495 on-base percentage, .564 slugging percentage, and a 1.059 OPS. He recorded 38 hits — fourth most on the team — including 29 singles, six doubles, and three home runs, which tied for the team lead. He drove in 24 runs, scored 34, and stole 17 bases.
On the mound, Richardson went 4-2 with a 4.01 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in nine starts across 10 appearances. He struck out 39 batters over 36.2 innings, the most strikeouts on the team.
Marshalltown head baseball coach Kevin Kirkwold said Richardson caught his attention both through a recommendation from his club team coach and at the Iowa Games hosted by Prep Baseball Report.
“Voss came highly recommended from his club team coach. We also saw him at the IA Games hosted by Prep Baseball Report and he was a guy that was playing a lot of positions,” Kirkwold said. “Voss showed some really good athleticism that we saw on both the baseball and football field. He is a guy that could pitch, play INF or OF at the college level. We are looking forward to seeing what he can do when he competes with the rest of the program in the fall.”
Marshalltown Community College competes in NJCAA Division II as a member of the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference Region 11. The program finished 13-41 last season.
