Tredaway is perhaps the most recognizable name in Valley baseball, after a 31-year career that saw him lead the Pan American University to the College World Series and later spend over two decades at the university as a coach.
Tredaway was an All-American infielder who transferred to PAU from Sul Ross University. During his freshman year, Sul Ross advanced to the NAIA World Series in 1968. From 1969 to 1971 he joined the Broncs for three seasons and was All-American as a sophomore. He was a mainstay on the Broncs team that eventually went all the way to the Series in 1971. A clutch hitter who had nine game-winning hits in 1971, Tredaway made a spectacular catch against Harvard in the Series that is still talked about.
After his senior year, he was drafted by the Oakland A’s, but decided to work and went into coaching. He was the assistant coach at Brownsville High School from 1972-74.
He became assistant coach at Pan American in 1974 to the legendary Al Ogletree, his college mentor. In 1997 succeeded Ogletree at the helm of the Broncs. He spent 31 years with the University. Tredaway managed the team for five seasons before giving way to 1971 teammate Willie Gawlik, and later coached the pro Edinburg Roadrunners with son Chad as manager.
