Northcutt, who has signed with Vanderbilt, hit .463 with 28 RBI.
The All-Ohio selection completed the trifecta for Northcutt, who was also named first team All-Greater Miami Conference and first team All-City.
“I was a little disappointed with some aspects of my season, but I was playing for my teammates,” he said. “I was just going out and playing for my team and doing what I needed to do to help us win games. We want to win the first state championship for Mason in baseball.”
Each district in the state is allotted a certain number of first team members, making a spot on the team Southwest Ohio a big deal with all the talent in the area.
“It’s a hotbed,” Northcut said. “Especially in our conference. There is great baseball being played every time you play someone in conference.
“There are six or even high DI recruits that you play against every day and it is something that is fun to do.”
Northcut took a couple weeks off before joining his summer team, Nevoshield Kings out of Virginia, and was just wrapping up winning a title at a tournament in Arizona last weekend.
“The level of baseball is ridiculous,” Northcut said. “There is not a kid on the team who hasn’t committed to a D-I school and five or six could be drafted.
“The one thing I have taken away from being on the team is that there is never one way to do something. But, I try to take the little things I learn and put them into my own way of doing things.”
Northcut wasn’t the lone Comet to gather postseason honors.
