Gavin Comer Earns Gamer of the Week Honors

Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc. and The Putnam Herald are pleased to present this week’s male Gamer of the Week Gavin Comer of St. Albans Baseball!  

Gavin Comer has been having a great sophomore season for the 20-9 St. Albans Baseball Team. Comer had a 2.89 earned run average with 38 strikeouts in 36 innings pitched this season. “The season has been going well, but we have lost a couple tough games…I threw a no hitter in a loss against Cabel Midland,” said Comer when discussing highlights from this season. 

Comer has improved on a great Freshman season that earned him Mountain State Athletic Conference Honorable mention honors. He has lowered his earned run average by almost a full point. “Gavin a second year start as a sophomore. He anchors our defense at third base and as a pitcher. He is a hard worker with a very bright future,” said Head Coach Rick Whitman.  

In addition to his outstanding performance on the field, he has contributed in the batter box hitting .278 with 17 runs batted in and 4 stolen bases.  

Comer followed in his older brothers’ footsteps and has played baseball his whole life. When discussing what he likes about baseball, he spoke to the camaraderie that is built on a team and just making memories. He attributes a lot of his success to his father, brother, and coaches, saying that they taught him how to handle adversity in the sport and not get too down.
