One of the most influential two-way standouts in TSSAA Class 4A baseball this spring was Ooltewah senior Drew Wood.
The Cleveland State Community College signee helped lead the Owls to their first 20-win season since 2017 as he got the job done at the plate, in the field and on the mound.
On Tuesday, Wood was one of 10 local baseball standouts to be named to the Tennessee Sports Writers Association all-state baseball teams.
Wood was one of the state’s leaders in extra-base hits with 27 (16 doubles, six triples, five home runs), which was the most in the Chattanooga area. Nearly half of his hits went for extra bases as Ooltewah’s leadoff hitter had 57 hits on the way to producing a .438 batting average and .769 slugging percentage to go along with 39 RBIs, 33 runs scored and 10 stolen bases.
The right-hander, who was the District 6-4A Player of the Year, won six games and posted a 3.33 ERA with 61 strikeouts over 50 1/3 innings.
