The Bellingham Bells are adding another Pac-12 arm to the 2017 roster. Arizona State pitcher Tanner West is the latest player from the Pac-12 to join the Bells for the 2017 season, joining talent from Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, Washington and Washington State on the 2017 team.
“We are excited to announce ASU pitcher Tanner West will be joining our staff this summer,” Bells’ Pitching Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Jim Clem said. “Sun Devils have had a lot of success with our program in Bellingham.”
West is in his freshman season at Arizona State, where the left-hander has made four appearances with a 3.86 ERA in 4.2 innings on the hill. Prior to joining the Sun Devils, the Albuquerque, N.M. native was one of the best prep pitchers in the state at Volcano Vista High School.
Bellingham is slated to have players from 9 of the 11 schools that play baseball in the Pac-12 conference, including both Washington schools, and Top 5 program Oregon State.
The 2017 Bells open the season Friday, June 2nd against the Gresham GreyWolves at Joe Martin Field.
