Charley Waldrep enters his second season on the Northwestern State baseball staff and will again work with the Demons catching corps.
In his first year on staff, Waldrep assisted David Fry with the conversion from first base to catcher and saw it pay off when the Milwaukee Brewers announced Fry as their seventh-round selection in June’s Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft as a catcher.
Waldrep will continue to coordinate the Bobby Barbier Baseball Camps that take place at Brown-Stroud Field and is responsible for coordinating offseason tournament scheduling at the Demons’ home park.
After completing his four-year catching career at Alabama, Waldrep spent the past two seasons as the head freshman coach and varsity outfielders coach at McKinney (Texas) Boyd High School. He also coached freshman football.
Waldrep was a member of the Alabama baseball team from 2010-13, including a season as a student assistant. Waldrep was actively involved in the community while with the Crimson Tide, volunteering with the Miracle League in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa and with tornado relief in Tuscaloosa.
A graduate of Celina (Texas) High School, Waldrep was an All-State running back and catcher from 2007-2009 and was named the preseason Class 3A MVP by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football prior to the 2008 season. Waldrep started in both the football and baseball Texas All-Star games for the North.
Waldrep earned his bachelor of science in human environmental sciences from Alabama in December 2013.
