Lamar pitcher Jack Dallas has been invited to play in the Collegiate Summer Baseball Invitational, a 4-team regional formatted tournament that will feature rosters composed of players from elite universities all around the country.
After arriving at Lamar in 2018, Dallas quickly made an impact. His freshman season saw him make 23 appearances and log 42 innings of work and post a 3.59 ERA. He was named a player to watch by D1Baseball.com heading into 2019 in which he appeared in 21 games and led the team in saves. The 2020 shortened season saw Jack work a 3.12 ERA in 8.2 innings and collect 11 strikeouts. “What a great opportunity this is”, said Jack. “Finally, we can play a little baseball.”
Joining Jack from Lamar is Chase Kemp, the former Texas Collegiate League Player of the Year.
Kemp’s first two seasons at Lamar saw him play in 66 games and start in 38 of them at first base and designated hitter. The left-handed slugger hit .338 with 11 doubles and four home runs as he helped the Brazos Valley Bombers win a championship. Kemp was only one of four Cardinal players to start in all 17 games this season where he had 12 hits including three doubles and two home runs. “I’m really excited to play”, said Kemp. “This is a great opportunity and should be fun.”
The tournament will be held in College Station June 4-6 after several days of practice. CSBI has not announced the rosters of the four teams. Fans will not be allowed. More info at cbsi2020.com.
