Austin Tribby

♦ Freshman LHP Austin Tribby, Catholic HS, Springfield, MO

• Comes from the same high school as former Missouri pitcher, current Detroit Tigers frmhand Tyler Clark
• His junior year, Austin Tribby tried to strike everyone out. The results were good, but they could have been better, so he adjusted.
  
  He worked in the offseason to develop his control and pitch more to contact. The numbers speak for themselves; the future Missouri Tiger was 10-0 with 104 strikeouts and a .155 opponents' batting average in 632/3 innings.
  
  "Having him as a weapon to use is a luxury," Catholic coach Jason Daugherty said. "He can keep you in any ballgame you throw him in." (USA Today High School Sports, 6/22/12)
