WALKER SIGNS WITH SOUTHWEST
Release written by Keith Gentry

Seth Walker, a pitcher-outfielder from Christian Brothers High School, has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue his education and baseball career at Southwest.

“Seth is a huge addition to our recruiting class,” said Southwest Head Baseball Coach Johnny Ray. “He is a run producer offensively and an above average outfielder. He will also possibly help us on the mound.”

Walker played for Coach Buster Kelso at CBHS and led the Purple Wave to a 40-3 record, a top ten national ranking, and third-place finish in the 2006 TSSAA Division 2 State Tournament. Walker batted .446 his senior season with 13 doubles, 5 triples, 3 home runs, 47 runs batted in and compiled a 3-0 pitching record with a 1.00 earned run average. He was named to The Commercial Appeal’s Best of the Preps team and made the all-tournament team at the USA Classic.
