Tyrone Area High School senior Dylan Ewing will join the Penn State DuBois baseball team next fall to continue his athletic and academic career.
Dubois has a very competitive Division III baseball program. Last season, the Lions were 30-9 overall and an impressive 20-0 in conference play.
“Penn State Dubois has a great culture and community, and I can’t wait to be a part of it,” Ewing said.
Ewing plans to major in business.
He will join a team with a lot of experience in winning, something Ewing has gotten used to in high school.
Tyrone is 12-5 this season and looking to make a run in the playoffs, which will open on Monday, May 19, at home.
Ewing has been a very effective starting pitcher for the Golden Eagles over the past three seasons. He made his first career appearance in his sophomore year. He finished his first varsity season with a 5.65 ERA and a 1-1 record in two appearances.
Ewing’s junior season was his breakthrough year. He made the starting rotation and finished the season with a 3.29 ERA and a 5-2 record. He had tallied 12 strikeouts in eight appearances. This marked a great junior season for Ewing.
And through 17 games this year, he has an impressive 3.90 ERA in eight appearances, with an astonishing 28 strikeouts. This proves that Dylan is more than ready for the next step in his career.
“Dylan shows so much leadership and picks his teammates up whenever they need it,” said Tyrone Head Coach Kevin Soellner.
His teammates also have had many things to say about him.
“Dylan always brings the energy every day, whether it’s a practice or a game, and we’re so thankful as a team to have somebody positive on and off the field,” senior Landon Hamer said.
Soellner thinks Penn State DuBois will be a good fit for Ewing and is excited that his senior starting pitcher will have the opportunity to play the game he loves in college.
“Dylan has been wonderful to be around and will be missed from our team, but I know living out their goals is what it’s all about, and I’ll be so excited to see what he will achieve,” Soellner said.
