Meet The Diamond Heels: Shaddon Peavyhouse
January 26, 2022 | Baseball
As the start of the 2022 season looms in mid-February, GoHeels.com will be sitting down with each of the 16 newcomers that comprised one of the nation's top recruiting classes in a feature series called "Meet the Tar Heels."
Taking the mound to start the series is right-handed pitcher Shaddon Peavyhouse, who spent the previous four years at Coastal Carolina. A native of Erwin, Tenn., Peavyhouse attended Unicoi County High School where he was a three-sport athlete, playing football and basketball in addition to baseball. He earned all-state honors on the diamond and was tabbed one of the top prospects in the state by Baseball America.
Last season Peavyhouse pitched in 20 games, making four starts on the mound. He posted a 3-2 record overall with one save and a 3.61 ERA with 49 strikeouts in 47.1 innings of work. He held opposing hitters to a .223 batting average on the year. One of his appearances came against the Tar Heels on April 20, tossing 1.2 innings.
During the pandemic shortened season of 2020, Peavyhouse struck out 10 and didn't issue a walk in 11.0 innings.
His overall career at Coastal Carolina spanned just 33 games due to injury and the pandemic. He averaged 9.6 strikeouts per nine innings with a strikeout-to-walk ratio of better than 2:1 (91:42).
Peavyhouse made the Dean's List each year at Coastal Carolina and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Intelligence and National Security.
