ASU COACH SELECTED FOR INDUCTION TO LOCAL HALL OF FAME: ASU pitching coach Craig Scheffler has been selected for induction into the Central Wisconsin Baseball Hall of Fame.

A native of Wausau, Wis., Scheffler starred at Wausau East High School before playing collegiately at Wisconsin and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The left-handed pitcher was selected in the 12th round of the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers and enjoyed a five-year professional career, compiling 247 strikeouts in 331 innings as a pro. In 1994, he led the Class A Northwest League with eight wins for the Yakima Bears.

In his sixth season at Appalachian, each of Scheffler's five Mountaineer pitching staffs have posted ERAs under 6.20. Prior to his arrival in 2006, it had been 10 seasons since ASU had a team ERA lower than 6.44.
