KITCHENER - The Kitchener Panthers are happy to announce the signing of west coast outfielder, Trent Lawson.

He is listed as an outfielder and a relief pitcher, and is known for his power and average. 

He spent last season with the Tubingen Hawks in a pro league in Germany, and previously played for the Weyburn Beavers in the Western Canadian Baseball League.

He hit .418 in 26 games with Tubingen, including eight home runs, 28 hits and only struck out nine times.

Lawson also played collegiate ball at Vancouver Island University, and Huntington University (NAIA).

"Trent has hit everywhere he's played, and with his previous experience playing professionally overseas, he will make an immediate impact on the field for us," said general manager Shanif Hirani.
