TRUSSVILLE — Hewitt-Trussville senior pitcher Austin Treglown signed with Wallace State Community College today.
Treglown thanked Hewitt-Trussville coaches, his parents, and friends and teammates at a signing ceremony at Hewitt-Trussville High School on Wednesday.
“I just can’t wait for another year,” Treglown said of the upcoming season, which begins next month.
Treglown, a right-hander, pitched in limited action last season for a Hewitt-Trussville team that posted a 34-13 record and reached the Class 6A state championship series against Pelham.
Hewitt-Trussville head baseball coach Jeff Mauldin called Wallace State one of the best community colleges for baseball in the nation. Mauldin said Treglown has a fastball in the upper 80 mph range, and a solid curveball and changeup.
“We’re hoping he can really give us a shot in the arm this year,” Mauldin said. “He gives us some depth on our staff. He projects so well at the next level.”
