Clarksville, TN – TJ Conroy, of San Jose, California, becomes the latest middle infielder to join the Austin Peay State University baseball team’s 2016 roster as it continues adding infield depth.
Conroy, a 6-0, 175-pound middle infielder, will transfer to Austin Peay after two seasons at De Anza College – a community college located in Cupertino, California.
“TJ has a good arm and capably can play all the infield spots,” said Governors head coach Gary McClure. “He is a productive left-handed hitter with a smooth swing and he takes a lot of pride in doing the little things at the plate that help a team win. TJ also is a good base runner who understands how to play the game. He is going to be a good addition to this team.”
Conroy prepped at Westmont High School and was a first-team all-conference selection as a senior. He batted .314 during his high school career and posted a .381 on-base percentage with 34 runs scored and 20 RBI.
Conroy is the sixth addition to the Austin Peay’s 2016 baseball roster. He joins infielder Parker Phillips, of Collierville, Tennessee; left-handed pitcher Austin Higginbotham, of Gainesville, Georgia; left-handed pitcher Brett Newberg, of Moline, Illinois; catcher Alex Sala, of Germantown Tennessee and middle infielder Max Remy of Reedsville, Pennsylvania.
