PIERRE – The 2021 Pierre Trappers’ latest addition is first baseman/pitcher Nick Hamel, a junior at McMurry University.
Hamel did not play last year before the season was cut short due to the pandemic. In 2019, Hamel hit .299 in 67 at-bats with a home run, four doubles and 10 RBI. He also earned four saves as a pitcher, allowing just one run and striking out 10 in six and two-thirds innings.
Hamel was the American Southwest Conference Freshman of the Year in 2018, when he led McMurray with a .362 average and 46 hits. He hit three home runs with 10 doubles and 24 RBI. As a pitcher that season, Hamel was 1-1 with a 7.20 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 15 innings.
