Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University’s baseball team put the finishing touches on its 2013 recruiting class with the addition of right-handed pitcher D.W. Whitson from Columbia State Community College.

The 6-5, 195-pound Whitson posted an 8-2 record and 3.41 ERA last season for Columbia State. He recorded 41 strikeouts in 68.2 innings pitched over 13 appearances. That mark included allowing only one run in a complete-game victory against Southwest Tennessee in the Region VII Tournament’s third round. He pitched sparingly as a freshman for the Chargers, seeing action in 15 innings over eight games and finishing 0-1 with a 2.40 ERA.

Whitson prepped at Unicoi County High School where he pitched and played shortstop. He was an All-Region 1 selection as a pitcher by the Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association in 2010 as he helped lead the Raiders to the Class AA State Tournament.

Austin Peay has added 11 pitchers to its 2013 roster through this season’s recruiting which finished with 16 newcomers scheduled to join the team.
