Shawnee’s Aiden McMahan signs letter of intent with Rend Lake

Aiden McMahan of Wolf Lake has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Rend Lake College Warrior baseball team at Ina next year.

The signing and an accompanying photograph were highlighted on the college’s website.

The lefthanded hitting catcher is the son of David and Angie McMahan. 

He led the Shawnee High School Redskins to the state tournament last year, hitting .350 with four homeruns and posting a 0.79 ERA on the mound.

McMahan also spent last summer playing for the Missouri Bulls, a summer program out of Cape Girardeau. 

During the summer, he hit .371 with 12 doubles, six triples, and an on-base percentage of .420.

“Aiden is an athletic catcher who can really hit and can shut the running game down from behind the plate,” said Rend Lake head coach Tony Etnier. 

“His versatility will allow him to play multiple positions if needed. He is a good kid that has played for two outstanding programs at Shawnee High School and with the Missouri Bulls. He adds another solid left handed stick and plus defender to our program. We are excited to add Aiden to our 2014-2015 roster,” Etnier said.
