Update on Brady Trombello

“Texas Tech can confirm a medical emergency took place Monday afternoon at Rip Griffin Park involving baseball student-athlete Brady Trombello. Texas Tech’s sports medicine and coaching staff provided immediate care and helped transport Trombello via ambulance to University Medical Center where he underwent surgery Monday night. Trombello is recovering and in stable condition. Texas Tech Athletics will provide updates as available but asks the public to respect the privacy of the Trombello family as he continues his recovery,” Texas Tech baseball wrote in their official statement Wednesday evening.

Trombello is a freshman pitcher out of Ridgefield, Washington, where he attended Prairie High School. He played summer baseball with Coast 2 Coast, pitching 30 innings and recording a .69 ERA to go along with 50 strikeouts. Trombello was also rated as a top-500 prospect according to Perfect Game. He also earned Underclass All-American honors from Rawlings.

He was a part of Texas Tech’s 2023 recruiting class that was ranked in the Top 15 in the nation by Perfect Game.

This season, the Texas Tech Red Raiders currently sit at 6-2 overall, and they’ve won three straight. Their last game against Texas Southern, the Red Raiders won 16-5 in seven innings. They won that game despite really severe weather conditions. Winds were gusting at more than 30 miles per hour. But that didn’t stop the Washburn brothers, Jack and Owen Washburn, from making a major impact on the game.

Jack Washburn delivered a career-best eight strikeouts for the Red Raiders. The younger brother Owen Washburn went 3-for-3 at the plate, swatting two home runs with five RBIs. Damian Bravo and TJ Pompey also drilled home runs for Texas Tech.

Next up on the schedule, the Red Raiders will face the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs. That one will be on Friday, March 1st. The two teams will have a three-game series that will be on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On March 8th through 10th, they face off against their in-state rival, the Texas Longhorns. Texas Tech is currently ranked No. 19 in the country.
