Albany continues their relationship with Sun Belt power Georgia Southern by adding infielder Cal Baker. The Clyo, Georgia native was a three time All-Region selection at shortstop during his high school career and participated in the Senior All-Star game. He also lettered four times in football and was twice named All-Region. The 5’10” middle infielder had worked his way into the mix for the Sun Belt Champs and regional participants, making 28 plate appearances before a broken bone ended his season. After surgery and weeks of recovery, Baker looks set to come back to the Dutchmen by mid-June and make his presence felt.

Rounding out the Dutchmen commitments is Rochester, New York shortstop Ernie Clement. The 5’10” middle infielder signed with top-10 powerhouse, University of Virginia, after finishing a decorated career at Brighton High School. After his junior season in which he hit .528 with 28 runs batted in, Clement was named Monroe County Division II Player of the Year. A speedy baserunner with solid range at short, Clement will come to Albany fresh off another tremendous high school season, eager to make an impression and begin his successful college career. |
