Local players vying for time on Troy pitching staff

Some former Wiregrass high school baseball standouts will likely fill some key pitching roles for new Troy baseball coach Skylar Meade during the fast-approaching season.

Grayson Stewart (Providence Christian), Logan Ross (Opp), Matt Snell (G.W. Long) and Dawson Hamilton (Dothan) are among those vying for spots in the rotation led by Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Garrett Gainous of Cairo, Ga.

Stewart took a medical redshirt last season as a freshman while dealing with an arm injury but appears to be at full strength heading into this season.

“He’s a guy whose repertoire has probably improved as anybody and his velocity has been good,” Meade said.
