" Our team and fans just knew, when the ninth inning rolled around and we had that lead or were tied, that Jaxson would come in and slam the door", emphasized Rockabillys President/GM Dennis Bastien," everyone was that confident in him."
Trey Watson was also selected as a Western Conference All-Star Starting Pitcher. Watson finished the season leading ALL Prospect League Pitchers in ERA
at 3.21, in wins at 6, WHIP of 1.14 and allowing only 16 walks in 56 innings pitched with 44 strike-outs. A native of Beauregard/Auburn, Alabama and a University of Mobile diamond ace, Watson was the staff ace for the 2024 Jackson Rockabillys.
