Blessed to announce that I have committed to play division 1 baseball at Middle Tennessee State University. I would like to thank God, my family, and my coaches for allowing me to pursue the opportunity! Go Blue Raiders @MT_Baseball@PSCCBaseball
After many talks with my family I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 1 year of eligibility. I am grateful for the UAPB baseball & football staff for this chapter.

The Pellissippi State Baseball 30-man roster will consist of 26 Sophomores this year. Heading into year 2 as a program, expectations have been set after a surprising 2nd place finish in year 1. On the mound this year the panthers are returning @MatthewMeade0 (MTSU Commit), and @_JacobDillon_ who both threw 55+ innings last season. They have also added transfers @cooperjones2024 (LMU), @carterk_0 (Lipscomb Univ), Nathan Reed (Itawamba CC), Roanan Cason (Yakima CC), and @LantzShirk (Maryville College). All showing very well this past fall. Freshman RHPs Zach Johnson and Foster Whisman are also expected to be big contributors this Spring.
On the position players side Returners Jacob Dillon (1B) and Caden Channell (LF) are expected to be middle of the order bats. Freshman infielders Caden Black and MaKai Derry have been impressive all fall. Transfers Donovan Mitchell- CF- (Univ. Of S. Alabama), Trace Simmons - C- (LMU), and Rex Pendergrass - IF - (MTSU) are also expected to have a big impact this spring.
The Pellissippi Panthers are hoping to improve their 33-23 (19-10 conference) record from last year. @PSCCBaseball@HaydenPewitt@ETNbaseballguru@tnballplayers
Matthew Meade RHP @PSCCBaseball
An arm that I am really intrigued by. Promising upside, a strike thrower and a guy who can get outs. Big returner that is surprisingly still on the board. Excited to see what the future is! #uncommitted

Have not seen a sidearm merchant in a while, but this one certainly has my attention. Anytime you see a guy like this with a high strike percentage with some projection, it’s exciting. One to follow and certainly grab.
