MSUB baseball head coach Rob Bishop announces the addition of Yucaipa, Calif., native Austin Reeves as an outfielder who will join the ‘Jackets for the 2017 season. BILLINGS, Mont. – Signing a letter of intent to join the Montana State University Billings baseball team for the 2017 season, Yucaipa, Calif., native Austin Reeves is set to officially become a Yellowjacket next year announced on Saturday. “Austin will be a great addition to our program,” commented sixth-year head coach Rob Bishop. “His intangibles are terrific and his speed will allow him to make an impact early in his career as a Yellowjacket. We look forward to watching him develop in our program.” Reeves is a 6-foot-1 outfielder who attends Yucaipa Senior High School in California. Under head coach Jeff Stout, Reeves has played four seasons on the varsity team and serves as a team captain. He was picked as his team’s most valuable player, and he is also a scholar athlete. “One reason I chose MSUB is academics,” Reeves said. “Out of all the schools I visited, MSUB had the best match for what I wanted to accomplish and that was one of my most important factors when choosing my college. The baseball
program also caught my eye as it had everything I could ask for and the coaches and team members are great. I believe I have made a great decision and I hope for good years to come as a Yellowjacket.� Reeves joins three other baseball recruits to sign during the early period for the 2017 season. Jacob Hinkle (Tacoma, Wash.), Sam Muskat (Beaverton, Ore.), and Hunter Sylte (Gillette, Wyo.) each signed letters of intent in early November for the 2017 season.
