A four-year starter, Tristan Archer spent much of this season rewriting the Tennessee Tech record books and firmly cementing a place among the all-time greats in Tech history. Archer finished his incredible career owning three Tech career records, including wins (23), starts (55), and innings pitched (323.2). Archer also finished his four seasons at Tech ranking second all-time in strikeouts with 273 and third in K/walk ratio with a 2.81 mark. On the year, Archer broke his career-high in wins, leading the Golden Eagles with nine wins in 2013, ranking second in the Ohio Valley Conference. The nine victories tied for third-most in a single season in Golden Eagle history. His 97 strikeouts this season ranked second in the OVC and tied for fourth-most in a single season in Tech history. He finished the season with a 4.22 K/walk ratio, second-best all-time for a TTU player. Archer’s 97.0 innings pitched ranked first in the OVC and third-most in a single season among Tech players. His 15 starts also tied for the all-time team-high in a single year. He finished the season with three 10-plus strikeout performances, including his first career complete-game shutout over SIUE. The performance led to the senior garnering his fourth career OVC Pitcher of the Week honor. A member of the 2010 OVC All-Freshman Team, Archer was also named OVC Player of the Week by College Sports Madness this season as well as College Sports Madness’ OVC Pitcher of the Year. He earned All-OVC First Team honors this season while helping lead the Tech squad to the most wins in team history and a 40-17 record. The team has also set an OVC and program record for conference wins in a season with 24. Voted as one of three captains of the 2013 squad, Archer is a six-time Athletics Director Honor Roll member, a member of the 2011-12 OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, and a two-time member of the Dean’s List. The senior has been heavily involved in community service in his career, volunteering as a Bell Ringer for Cookeville Mission, working several middle school field day events, assisting at the annual Fall Funfest, and helping run the Golden Eagle Baseball School’s annual High School Elite Camp.
