SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- The Augustana baseball team had two student-athletes sign their National Letters of Intent to continue their athletic and academic careers at Augustana, head coach Tim Huber announced Wednesday. Wednesday marks the first day a student-athlete is able to sign an NLI. 

Macully Sehr | 5-9 | IF/RHP | Broomfield, Colorado | Legacy High School

Huber on Sehr: "From the time we started recruiting Macully, he has been very excited about our program. The more we checked in on him and had a chance to see his skills, the feeling became very mutual. He is a baseball guy from a baseball family and has been a starter on his high school team since his freshman year. He is a guy who is very capable of playing both middle infield spots and third base. We were also intrigued when we got a chance to see him on the mound and the different arm slots he pitches from. His breaking ball is a very good pitch and we believe will get outs at this level. Cully is a competitor and we expect him to find a way to make our team better."

High School: Sehr will graduate from Legacy High School in the summer of 2021. As a sophomore, he hit .345 with a .441 OBP, .958 fielding percentage and 1.77 ERA en route to First Team All-Conference and Honorable Mention All-State honors. As a freshman, he garnered Second Team All-Conference honors while helping his team to its best record in school history. 

Personal: Sehr was born in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, to parents Kelly and Doug Sehr. He has four siblings and enjoys baseball, basketball, snowboarding and hanging out with his friends. While at Augustana, he plans to major in business. 



Aaron Heger | RHP | Bemidji, Minnesota | Bemidji High School 

Huber on Heger: "Aaron flew under the radar a bit this summer. He has seen his velocity climb the past couple months, which is a testament to his commitment to training. He is a big guy with a good frame and we expect to continue climbing with his already mid-to-upper 80's velocity. Aaron is a strike thrower and has the ability to throw his off speed and fastball equally consistent in the zone. He is also very invested in the training process. He is one of the most knowledgeable guys we have recruited and knows what has worked well for him in training and is aware of what development can and should look like. We know Aaron will be a great fit at Augustana academically with a 4.0+ GPA as well."

High School: Heger will graduate from Bemidji High School in May of 2021. Last summer, Heger hit .487 with one homer, six doubles and a 1-1 record on the mound. During fall ball in 2020, Heger tallied a 7-2 record on the mound. 

Personal: Heger was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to parents Jana and Roger Heger. He has an older sibling and plans to major in exercise science while at Augustana.
