MONROE, La.-Left-handed
pitcher Kendall Thamm became the second member of the ULM baseball signing class when he inked his National Letter of Intent to play for the Warhawks
beginning with the 2011 season, head coach Jeff Schexnaider announced Thursday.
The Baytown, Texas, native
posted a 4-4 record with a 4.89 ERA in his freshman campaign at Angelina
College in Lufkin, Texas. Thamm struck out 44 batters and walked 32 in 53.1
innings of work for the Roadrunners.
"Kendall is a left-hander that we feel can come in and bolster our pitching staff right away,"
Schexnaider said. "His
ability to throw three quality pitches
for strikes should make him a very good pitcher
in the Sun Belt
Conference."
Thamm earned all-state honors
as an outfielder and all-district honors as a pitcher following his senior season
at Barbers Hill High School. Following his junior season he was named all-state
as a pitcher and was selected to the Houston Area Junior All-Star Team.
