Eureka grad Clubb earns accolades

Special to the Post-Dispatch

SPRINGFIELD, MO. — Missouri State pitcher Tim Clubb picked up another honor on Thursday when he was named to Collegiate Baseball magazine’s All-America First Team.

A redshirt sophomore righthander from Eureka High School, Clubb was previously selected as the Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Year. Clubb went 11-0 with a 2.52 ERA in 14 starts. He struck out 82 and walked 32 in 103 2/3 innings and held opposing hitters to a .233 batting average.

“I guess a lot of people could say it’s a dream season in terms of being undefeated and being the pitcher of the year and an All-American and I’m very happy with it, but I know there are things ahead of me in terms of being drafted and making it to the major leagues that I still want to accomplish,” Clubb said.

Clubb becomes the sixth Missouri State player to be honored as a first-team All-America and the 18th All-American in the program’s history.

Last year, as a redshirt freshman, Clubb went 6-3 with a 4.07 ERA.

The former Wildcats standout is eligible for next week’s draft as he’s been out of high school for three years. Clubb said he and his advisor have talked to about half of the major league organizations and are getting indications he will be picked in the first five rounds of the draft.
