Former ICC baseball standout Tanner Poole has been named to the Southern Collegiate Baseball League (SCBL) South All-Star Team.
Poole plays for the Piedmont Pride in the SCBL Southern Division and has 42 hits in 113 at bats for a league leading .372 batting average. The Amory native has picked up 19 RBI and hit three doubles, four triples and one homerun to help secure his spot on the All-Star roster.
The 6'4 centerfielder, who is continuing his career at Mississippi State, also leads the league in stolen bases with 23 steals on as many attempts and earned SCBL Player of the Week honors two weeks prior to earning the All-Star nod.
Last season at ICC, Poole led the Indians in numerous offensive categories last season by hitting .378 in the leadoff spot, picking up 12 doubles, four triples, six home runs, 46 runs and 39 RBI. His standout sophomore campaign earned him Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) All-State team and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Region 23 honors.
The SCBL All-Star Game will be held Sunday in Charlotte, NC at 7 p.m. As part of the All-Star festivities, Poole and the other all-stars will have tryouts for pro scouts prior to Sunday's game.
