A Rising Star in the Making
Gunnar Alm, a standout centerfielder hailing from Polk County, has wrapped up a high school baseball career that will be remembered as one of the most prolific in recent state history.
During his tenure with the Wolverines, Alm combined power at the plate with elite defensive instincts, posting a batting average that placed him among the top hitters in the region.
Scouts now project that Alm will hear his name called somewhere between the second and fifth rounds in the upcoming Major League Baseball Draft, a range that reflects both his upside and the depth of talent in this year’s class.
Beyond the draft, Alm has already committed to continue his career at North Carolina State, where he will join a program known for developing major‑league talent and competing at the highest level of college baseball.
As the draft approaches, the excitement surrounding Alm’s potential adds a new chapter to a story that began on the dusty fields of Polk County and may soon unfold under the bright lights of MLB stadiums.
