Sharp to continue baseball career with Trinidad Triggers

Sharp to continue baseball career with Trinidad Triggers
Posted: May 13, 2014
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Carson-Newman pitcher Daniel Sharp (Johnson City, Tenn.) has his postgraduate baseball plans lined up.  The right-handed pitcher is off to Trinidad, Colo. – south of Denver near the New Mexico border – to play for the Trinidad Triggers. 

The Triggers are an independent league team in the Pecos League.  Sharp is the first Eagle this offseason to sign a pro contract and the first since former Eagle catcher Kevin Franchetti joined the Normal Cornbelters of the Frontier League a year ago. 

The Triggers director Kim Schultz was named the Pecos League's executive of the year for 2013. Former Carson-Newman reliever Mike Mullen is also on the team.

 In 18 appearances as a reliever in his senior season, Sharp had the most strikeouts per innings pitched as any Eagle on the roster.  He was 2-2 with a 3.99 ERA.  He struck out 39 batters in 29.1 innings of work with just a .243 batting average against. 

Sharp was at his strongest at the conclusion of the season when he tossed a career high five innings and six strikeouts in the Eagles SAC home finale against Wingate.
