Paducah Tilghman senior Caleb Payne signed a scholarship to play baseball for Olney College at a signing ceremony held at Paducah Tilghman High School on March 24. A pitcher, outfielder, and infielder, Payne played varsity baseball for Paducah Tilghman for four years. He has a .207 career batting average and a 2.38 ERA for his career as a pitcher.
Payne also played varsity basketball for Paducah Tilghman and was named to the District 2 All-Tournament team this season.
“In the four years I’ve had him, I’ve never seen Caleb more focused and locked in on going out to compete. Caleb has finally made the jump that I was looking for a couple of years ago. He’s made the jump and he’s going to continue to climb,” said PTHS Head Baseball Coach Tremayne Donald.
