Nearly 20 Knights who play baseball for Middle Georgia State University plan to play this summer for teams that fall under the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball umbrella. This includes five MGA players planning to spend at least a portion of the summer playing for the Macon Bacon, a member of the Coastal Plain League.

College baseball coaches often want their players to participate in “summer ball” to help them hone their skills and stay sharp. “We only send our guys to the best leagues and coaches,” said Sean Stevens, an assistant baseball coach for the Knights.

As of May 15, these players had been placed in various leagues:

• Jalen Hudson – Macon Bacon

• Andrew Lowery – Macon Bacon

• Jaden Duarte – Macon Bacon (Conditional Contract)

• Yadiel “Flacco” Perez – Macon Bacon (Conditional Contract)

• Wyatt Doyle – Macon Bacon (2nd Half)

• Chaz Salter – Woodstock River Bandits

• Yariel Diaz – Asheboro Zookeepers (2nd Half)

• Dylan Dickert – Asheboro Zookeepers

• Matt Huff – Woodstock River Bandits

• David Johnson – Asheboro Zookeepers (1st Half)

• William Richards – Asheboro Zookeepers (2nd Half)

• Steven Sams – Florida CBL

• Ben Randall – NY CBL (1st Half)

• Brock Depute – Johnstown Mill Rats

• George Dobkowski – Woodstock River Bandits (2nd Half)

• Nic Schinina – Orlando Snappers
