Former Tullahoma student and Cascade High School alum, Jaxon Sheffield, just wrapped up his freshman season for Motlow College.

Sheffield put together a solid campaign in his first year of collegiate baseball. In just 25 at-bats over 19 games, he had a .280 batting average, two home runs, and nine RBIs. In pitching, he appeared in 10 games and had a 7.47 ERA. He had the highest strikeouts per nine innings (8.44) on a minimum of 10 appearances.

The Motlow baseball team overall had an underwhelming year as a team, finishing the year with a 22-23 record. Sheffield will look to help improve the team’s trajectory in his sophomore season along with other Tullahoma alum Evan Tomlin in his second year as a Buck.
