Josh Bryant, former Warren Lumberjack standout baseball player, was recently presented with a plaque commemorating his induction into the Warren Lumberjack Sport Hall of Fame as a member of the induction class of 2021, which was unable to receive their plaques earlier due to COVID-19.
Bryant was a first baseman and left-handed pitcher for the Jacks and a Warren High graduate in the class of 2000. He earned all-conference honors in 1999 and 2000, made the all-regional tournament team in 2000, and all-southeast Arkansas team in 2000. Bryant was also an honorable mention to the 2000 all-state team and a high school all-star in 2000.
He held the school record for season batting average from 2000 until 2016. Bryant still holds the WHS record for most hits in a game, most four-hit games in a season, most four-hit games in a career, and career batting average.
On the mound, Bryant holds the record for the lowest walk ratio per innings pitched for a season, the lowest walk ratio per innings pitched for a career, the lowest ERA for a career, the lowest walks and hits for a season, and the lowest walks and innings pitched for a career.
