In case you missed it, we announced the first three signings for our 2018 club last week. Coming aboard are Junior right-handed pitchers Landen Bourassa and Daniel Slominski (pictured, above) of the University of San Francisco, and redshirt junior pitcher Aaron Pope of Dixie State.
Aaron is a returnee from 2016. He was ticketed to join us again last season but he sat out last spring and summer due to injury.
Welcome to the Knights!
We should have more signings to announce his week.
