Baseball, Player & Coach

Pan American University ‘69-‘71 Pan American Coach ‘74-‘02

He is perhaps the most recognizable name in Valley baseball, after a 30-year career that saw him lead the Pan American Broncs to the College World Series and later spend over two decades at the university as a coach.

Reggie Tredaway was an All-American infielder who transferred to PAU from Sul Ross; from 1969 to 1971 he was a mainstay on the team that eventually went all the way to the Series in 1971. A clutch hitter who had nine game-winning hits in 1971, Tredaway made a spectacular catch against Harvard in the Series that is still talked about.

He became long-time assistant coach to Al Ogletree, his college mentor, and in 1997 replaced Coach Al at the helm of the Broncs. Tredaway managed the team for five seasons before giving way to ’71 teammate Willie Gawlik, and later coached the pro Edinburg Roadrunners with son Chad as manager.
