Before joining Mount Marty, Tetrault spent two seasons at Iowa Western Community College, one of the nation’s elite junior college baseball programs. His offensive units were among the best in the country. In his first season, Iowa Western hit .331 as a team with a .444 on-base percentage and .543 slugging percentage, averaging nearly nine runs per game.

During his time with the Wildcats, he worked closely with some of college baseball’s top coaching minds, contributing to Arizona’s 2021 Pac-12 Championship and College World Seriesappearance.
