Trevor Wamback started playing baseball when he was 8 years old. Throughout his entire minor baseball career, he played for the Sackville Minor Baseball Association. After graduating from Sackville High School in 1995, he received a full academic and athletic scholarship to American International College. AIC is a Division II NCAA school and a member of the Northeast-10 conference. While attending AIC, he earned a spot in the starting rotation, as a freshman.
After one year at AIC, he decided to return home to Dalhousie University for the 1996 season. In his first year at Dalhousie the Dal Tigers won the CIBA National Championship against the Brock Badgers. Wamback set a CIBA record striking out the first eight hitters of the Laval Rouge et Or in the tournament opener and then two days later pitched the championship game for the win. While attending Dalhousie for two years he continued to train and develop his game.
In 1998, Wamback was drafted in the 22nd round by the Montreal Expos. At that time, he was the highest drafted Nova Scotian. During his first year with the Expos, he pitched for the Gulf Coast Expos pitching a total of 43.2 innings and recording an impressive 2.47 ERA with only two bases on balls. Each year within the Montreal Expos minor league system, he was promoted to the next level making it as high as AA with the Harrisburg Senators until he suffered an injury. After being released, Wamback bounced around the independent leagues playing for the Quebec Capital, New Jersey Jackals and the Winnipeg Goldeyes until his career ended due to a torn rotator cuff. Throughout his career he pitched 291 innings with a 3.49 ERA and only forty-two bases on balls.
Since the end of his career, Trevor Wamback has been giving back by working with kids of various ages and skill levels teaching the game of baseball and using the game as a forum to teach kids life’s lessons.
