CHARLESTON, S.C. – Former Citadel and major league pitcher and current Bulldog assistant coach Britt Reames will be inducted into the Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame on Friday at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park.

The ceremony will take place on the field prior to the 7:05 p.m. game between the Charleston RiverDogs and Rome Braves. Reames will be joined by Summerville's Steven Jackson, who starred at Clemson, and Bishop England's Drew Meyer, an All-American at South Carolina.

The trio was selected for enshrinement out of a field of six candidates in a vote of local baseball fans.

Reames starred on the mound for the Bulldogs from 1993-95 and later pitched for four teams in the major leagues. He had a three-year record of 18-7 and an ERA of 2.03 at The Citadel and ranked second in school history at the conclusion of his career with 296 strikeouts. He struck out 10 or more batters in a game 12 times, including 18 against Marshall in a 1995 Southern Conference tournament game.

The hard-throwing righty went 10-3 with a 1.93 ERA and 123 strikeouts in 1995 and was named first-team All-SoCon after earning a spot on the second team the previous season. In 1995, he helped lead the Bulldogs to their second straight conference tournament championship and in June was selected in the 17th round of the MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals.

Reames made his major league debut in 2000, going 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA in 40 2/3 innings. He also became the first Citadel alum to appear in the postseason and was the winning pitcher in the final game of the Cardinals' three-game sweep of Atlanta in the National League Division series.

Reames also pitched for the Expos and Athletics and wrapped up his six-year career with the Pirates in 2006, striking out 204 batters in his big league career. He went into coaching and spent three seasons at Furman before returning to The Citadel in July 2011. He was inducted into The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008.
