APSU Baseball announces 16-man incoming class
APSU Sports Information
Clarksville, TN – A 16-man recruiting class will join Austin Peay State University’s baseball team for the 2017 season, the team announced in conjunction with the opening day of classes, Monday.
The Governors incoming class will be its largest in program history – topping the 14 added to the roster for the 2014 season.

Austin Peay’s incoming class is balanced with eight freshmen and eight junior college transfers in the mix. Five pitchers highlight the group along with four infielders, a pair of two-way players (pitcher/defense), two catchers and two outfielders.
“I felt it was important to maintain balance on our roster, both positionally and within the individual classes,” said head coach Travis Janssen. “We leaned towards the junior college ranks in the spring because we lost a lot of experience during the offseason. I believe we have done a good job adding talented players that will help us challenge for OVC Championships.”
Austin Peay saw 14 letterwinners depart after a 2016 season that saw it finish third in the Ohio Valley Conference regular-season race. Three of those departures were juniors – and members of the 2014 freshman class – who were drafted in Major League Baseball’s First-Year Player Draft.
However, the Governors return 19 players, including 15 letterwinners, from that team. Austin Peay will see its entire weekend starting rotation return – Alex Robles, Michael Costanzo and Caleb Powell – a trio that combined to post a 24-12 record last season and tossed 247.0 of the team’s 506.2 innings pitched.
The Governors 16-man recruiting class is as follows. Complete bios of each of the signees will be presented at www.LetsGoPeay.com on the baseball home page during the upcoming week.
