Bobby Raymos can now serve as motivation for other players in the Tokay High baseball program.

Raymos, a senior pitcher/outfielder who drew inspiration from other recent Tigers that went on to play at the next level, has signed with the University of the Pacific.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound right-hander said he was also considering Cal State Fullerton, Utah and the University of San Francisco.

“It was a local team, the coaches were great and they offered me quite a bit,” Raymos, who plans to major in communications, said of his decision to choose Pacific. “It’s great being closer to home and around family. We can be there for each other.”

Raymos was also impressed with Klein Family Field, Pacific’s new on-campus stadium. He said the school plans to spend another $3 million on the field and build a new clubhouse next to it.
