The University of Minnesota Crookston baseball team announced the addition of Mitch Goodwin (IF, 6-0 190, Prior Lake/Dakota County Technical College). Goodwin is the fourth junior college signee for the Golden Eagles for the 2021 signing class.
Goodwin hit .320 for Dakota County Technical College during the 2021 season. He led the team with 31 runs scored, eight doubles, six doubles, five home runs, and 37 RBIs. He posted a .410 on-base percentage and a team-high .670 slugging percentage. Goodwin stole 18 bases on the 2021 season.
In 2020, Goodwin had 10 runs scored and two RBIs, along with eight stolen bases for the Blue Knights. Defensively, Goodwin posted a .908 fielding percentage in 2021 with 66 assists, seven double plays, and 33 putouts.
In high school, he helped lead Prior Lake H.S. to their first-ever South Suburban Conference title in 2018. He hit .321 during the 2018 regular season for Prior Lake H.S. “Mitch is a five-tool player and a great athlete,” said Head Coach Steve Gust. “He projects well at the middle infield positions, can hit for power and average, and has the arm we are looking for defensively. His all-around athleticism should make our team better both offensively and defensively. He comes from a good junior college program so he knows what it takes to win. We feel he is a piece of the puzzle to help our program take another big step forward.”
