The Benton Rangers starting pitcher Ian McMahon has announced his intention to play baseball at Maryville University, located in St. Louis next fall after completing his senior year with the Rangers.

McMahon made the announcement on social media earlier this week.“I am very excited to announce my commitment to Maryville University (Maryville University Baseball) to continue my athletic and academic career! I would like to thank: my family, friends, all of my teammates and my coaches who have helped me get to this point in my career!

McMahon, who will be a starting senior next year with the Rangers, was named both All Conference and All-South in his Junior season. As a pitcher, Ian went 6-3 with an ERA of 2.30. McMahon led the Rangers in innings pitched, and in strikeouts with 65—more than double the number two spot on the list. McMahon has been a part of three straight conference championship winning teams with Benton.

Offensively last season McMahon batted .319 and hit three homeruns, tying teammate Bryden Picklesimer for most on the team.
