The Red Raiders have two returning catchers and two newcomers behind the plate this season, one of the new backstops for Tech is freshman Trey Kensing, who was a two-year letterwinner at Arlington Martin High School.
Kensing batted .439 with two homers and 27 RBI during his senior season. He helped lead Arlington Martin to a 27-12 overall record during his final prep season.
Kensing received honors his final two high school seasons, earning honorable mention all-district as a junior and receiving first team all-district honors as a senior.
During the summer of 2009, Kensing joined the USA Baseball Junior Olympic squad that traveled to Italy to play a portion of its schedule.
"Trey has done a good job for us," head coach Dan Spencer said. "He has spent most of his time catching for us in the bullpen - and that is what he will do for us primarily. He is a great kid and a hard worker. He is exactly what you need in that role. He is a very good team guy."
In addition, Kensing's father, Tracy, played football for the Red Raiders from 1978-80, while earning the J.T. King Award (Team's Most Improved Player) during the 1980 season.
