| Rumor has it that Clay Cederquist has taken off, but where will he land? |
The season is over, and for the student-athletes who have played in the sacred dirt of Alaska, the fall semester has arrived (whether they like it or not!). As always, several former ABLers have traded in one jersey for another in the college ball scene.
Making the jump from JuCo to NCAA Division I is a player who should be fresh in the minds of Bucs fans, 2010 recruit Cam Schiller. Schiller will be packing up his locker at Yavapai, because he's headed up to Oral Roberts to play ball next season. Schiller's season with the Bucs in 2010 was shortened, as the team sent him home as a precaution after a minor back injury, but in his .295 batting average led the team in the overall stats column (he hit .273 in league play, second behind Chris Serritella).
A guy who we haven't seen for a while, but should be no less memorable, is former Buc Chris Matulis. Matulis is vacating the Louisiana State pitching staff and is headed down to join the ballclub of Central Florida. Matulis, of course, was taken as a prep player in the 2008 MLB draft and struck out 33 in 33 IP overall for the 2009 Bucs.
On the Glacier Pilots side of the field, 2010 first-bagger Clay Cederquist is rumored to have transferred out of Fresno State, though at this time I have been unable to confirm exactly where the Pilot will land. Cederquist paced the team in starts (50), total games played (51 -- tied with Cullen Mahoney) and at-bats (173) while he ranked second place in several offensive categories on the Pilots this past season, such as hits (41), RBI (16 -- tied with O'Koyea Dickson), doubles (7), total bases (48). Will keep an eye out and report back whenever its known where Cederquist ends up; if anyone has the answer to this question, please enlighten us!
Good luck to these players who are moving up or moving on, and we'll keep you posted on any more transfers regarding former ABL players.
Cederquist transfered to Fresno City College.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input. Very interesting that he's going that route. Glad someone posted up a response quick as I still can't get google to come up with anything.
ReplyDeleteCullen Mahoney also transferred to a juco in Arizona.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting about Cullen...trying to get more playing time as a soph? Anyway, thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteHey jjack, I might have some more info for you on some of the AK players. What is your e-mail?
ReplyDeleteYou can hit me up at 49thstatehardball@gmx.com, or there is a contact form in the "about" section that hits the same e-mail.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate it and any other tips.
Thanks jjack. Another player that transferred is Chris Garrison. He was at Oregon and transferred to Western Nevada JC.
