Players from Waitsburg will join Prescott baseball team this year
Junior Kyle Gradwohl will be a threat at the plate as well as on the mound for the Tigers this year.
Junior Jacob Dunn will bring his experience as pitcher and catcher.
PRESCOTT – The team will be called the Tigers, but several players from Waitsburg High School will join Prescott High's baseball team to create a strong contender the Southeast 2B District 9 league this year.
Coach Dustin Snedigar said that veteran pitchers Jacob Dunn and Kyle Gradwohl, both Waitsburg juniors, will be mainstays for the Tigers on the mound. A number of other players will get some pitching time as well, he said, including Tyler Fedderson, Joe Adams and Walter Hartwell.
Dunn and Gradwohl are both set to pitch this summer for the American Legion Walla Walla Bruins.
When he's not pitching, Dunn will be the team's primary catcher. Gradwohl will share duties behind the plate, along with Chris Philbrook, Brayden Miller and Nigel Hageman, of Jubilee Academy.
Snedigar said he has a total of 17 players on the current roster, including 10 from Waitsburg, six from Prescott and one from Jubilee.
Snedigar sees Asotin as probably the strongest team in District 9 this year. "Tri-Cities Prep will also have a very strong team this year," he said. "And DeSales and WWVA (Walla Walla Valley Academy) will also be tough."
The Tiger assistant coaches this year are Jeff Foertsch and Jeff Umbarger.
Prescott was scheduled to host a jamboree, to include Dayton and Touchet teams, last Saturday, but it was cancelled due to rain. They were to host Pomeroy Tuesday night. They will play in Touchet Saturday.
