 University of Southern Indiana Baseball announced the addition of sophomore right-handed hurler Parker Maddox (Columbus, Indiana) to the 2022 pitching staff.
Maddox is a transfer from Iowa Western Community College where he appeared in four games as a redshirt freshman, posting a 3.38 ERA in 5.1 innings of work with two strikeouts. Prior to pitching for Iowa Western, he had a 4.50 ERA in two appearances and three strikeouts on the hill for Ohio University during the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
“Parker is a power arm that is an upper 80s-low 90s mph arm,” said USI Baseball Head Coach Tracy Archuleta. “He will compete for a starting spot this spring.”
Before moving to the collegiate level, Maddox was letter winner in baseball at Columbus North High School (Columbus, Indiana). The two-time Perfect Game Preseason All-American (2017, 2018) had a 2.39 ERA and 49 strikeouts as a junior (2018) and helped Columbus North to a regional and sectional championship.
USI, which received votes for the ABCA Top 40 poll, opens 2022 play February 18.
