Webb’s Diamond complex dedication salutes Wormsley

KNOXVILLE — Webb School of Knoxville hosted a dedication ceremony for its new Clark Wormsley Hitting & Pitching Complex Friday, April 19. Named in honor of Clark Wormsley, retired Spartan head varsity baseball and assistant football coach who was inducted into Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2017, the 8,400-square-foot facility “includes a netted indoor practice area that features two full-length bullpen tunnels and two hitting tunnels for Webb’s baseball and softball teams,” a Webb School press release stated. “The complex also houses changing rooms for baseball, softball and soccer.” Wormsley guided Webb’s varsity baseball program for more than 20 years, winning 445 games and a state championship in 2010 before retiring in 2011 and passing the coaching torch to his son, Jordan Wormsley, a Webb alum and former Spartans standout baseball player. As a first-year assistant in the mid-1980s, Clark Wormsley helped the Spartans win a state baseball championship in 1985.
