Leading up to the start of the high school season, we will count down the Top 25 preseason teams every day as part of our comprehensive season coverage:

OF DeAmez Filipe' Ross

Team: Eau Gallie
Preseason Rank: 20
2021 Record: 21-6
Playoff Run: Lost in Regional Finals
FHSAA Class: 5A
Head Coach: Bob Collins

TOP PLAYERS
Name, Position, Class (College Commitment)
DeAmez Filipe' Ross, OF, 2022 (Florida State)
Kyle Gruessner, OF, 2022
Riley Jackson, C, 2023 (Florida State)
Garrett Smith, 1B/LHP, 2023 (USF)

X-FACTOR

Kyle Gruessner - If 100% healthy, Gruessner is a game changer for the Commodores on both offense and defense.

OUTLOOK

Eau Gallie is a hard working group of players looking to build off last season where they fell short in the Regional Finals. Seniors DeAmez Filipe' Ross and Kyle Gruessner lead the way after strong Junior seasons in 2021. Juniors Riley Jackson and Garrett Smith should provide power in the middle of the order. Smith will also be a big factor on the mound in 2022. Expect another good season out of Eau Gallie in 2022.
