Bellevue adds local standout Felt

BELLEVUE, Neb. – Left-handed pitcher Sean Felt (Ralston, Neb./Reinhardt/Fort Scott CC/Ralston HS) has signed with the Bellevue University baseball program, announced today by head coach Duane Monlux.

Felt began his career at Fort Scott Community College in 2009 where he compiled a 5-1 record with 54 strikeouts and a 3.27 ERA in 55.0 innings of work.

The Ralston High School product sat out the next two seasons after recovering from Tommy John Surgery and transferred to Reinhart University and recorded 64 strikeouts in 59.1 innings pitched last season.

"Sean is a veteran pitcher that has pitched in a lot of big games during his two previous college seasons. He pitched very well in the very competitive Jayhawk Junior College league for Fort Scott prior to his Tommy John surgery," said Monlux. "He had a solid year for Reinhardt University last season, leading his team in games started and strikeouts. We feel he has the chance to be a big contributor to our program this upcoming season."

Felt joins Devin Ferguson (Lacey, Wash./Centralia/North Thurston HS), Nate Mullins (Snohomish, Wash./Everett CC/Snohomish HS), Brian Embery (Emporia, Kan./Wayland Baptist/Lower Columbia/Auburn HS) and Kyle Kinman (Omaha, Neb./Butler CC/Northwest HS) in the 2013 signee class.

The 2012 Bruins finished with a 40-21 overall record, winning the MCAC regular season with a 17-3 mark, advancing the NAIA National Tournament for the second-straight year.
