After an impressive start to the season, Marshall University freshman pitcher Wade Martin may have a bright future as a member of the university’s baseball team.
The young pitcher has had the opportunity to warm up his arm and contribute to the pitching staff despite thoughts of redshirting earlier in the season.
Martin has a 2.61 ERA this season.
Martin said his inspiration to play baseball stems from a cousin, who is now a scout for the Boston Red Sox.
“Since I was old enough to hold and throw a baseball, I’ve been holding and throwing baseballs,” Martin said.
