The St. Bonaventure University Athletic Department has announced that Medina High senior pitcher Preston Woodworth has signed to become a member of the Bonnies baseball team beginning with the 2027-28 school year.

Woodworth, who helped lead Medina to the state finals last spring, was a first team Class B All-State honoree and the Max Preps New York State Player of the Year. He registered 132 strikeouts on the mound with 8 shutouts and had a 0.61 earned run average. At the plate he hit .400 with 29 runs batted in.

“Preston has done nothing but win,” said St. Bona Coach Jason Rathbun. “He led his team to the state championship game as a junior. He’s a physical body with a great feel for the zone.”

Career wise St. Bona notes that Woodworth has pitched 157.2 innings with 270 strikeouts and a 0.67 era.

He is planning on majoring in Business Management.

Woodworth is also a multi year starter on the football and basketball teams.
