The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Tribby made his college intentions official Monday, signing a letter of intent with the University of Missouri in the high school library in front of a couple dozen schoolmates.♦ Catholic's Tribby comes back stronger (newsleader.com, 6/3/2011)
"It just felt right," Tribby said of playing in Columbia for a showcase this summer. "I just feel really blessed and excited about this opportunity."
For Catholic High School pitcher Austin Tribby, his junior season did not start the way he hoped.♦ Catholic's Austin Tribby Signs with Mizzou Baseball VIDEO
With only a few days before the team's first game, Tribby tore his meniscus, an injury that forced him to miss about four weeks of the season.
"He came off of (the mound) wrong and just kind of rolled his ankle and ended up buckling his knee," Irish coach Jason Daughrity said.
Careful rehab has allowed Tribby to return to the mound, and he has made the most of that opportunity. He has struck out 31 batters in only 152/3 innings.
Daughrity said Tribby is a big reason the Irish have reached the Class 3 final four.
