MONROE, La.-The ULM baseball signing class increased to three on Thursday afternoon as ight-handed pitcher Cale Wine signed their National Letters of Intent to play for the Warhawks beginning with the 2011 season, head coach Jeff Schexnaider announced.
Wine will join ULM from John A. Logan College and will be reunited with former Vol teammates and current Warhawks James Jones and Chan Walsh. Wine, a native of Coulterville, Illinois., posted a 5-2 record with a 6.89 ERA as a freshman for the Vols. He registered 39 strikeouts in 47 innings of work over 14 appearances.
"Cale is a big physical pitcher," Schexnaider said. "We really feel like his best years are ahead him. He has the ability to throw with some velocity that should continue to increase."
Wine was a second team all-metro selection following his senior year at Marissa High School after posting a 12-0 record with a 0.69 ERA. The Meteors advanced to the 2008 Illinois State Championship Game behind Wine's 103 strikeouts over 71 innings.
