Baseball Signs 13 Players
August 10, 2009
WEATHERFORD, Okla. - The Southwestern Oklahoma State University baseball program has secured written letters of agreement from 13 players who have declared their intention to join the team, announced head coach Scott Selby. The latest SWOSU baseball class is composed of five high school standouts and seven from a previous college. Five are from the state of Oklahoma while the remainder are from California, Arizona, Texas and Tennessee.
The signees include pitchers Jared Bowser, Shane Martin, Tyler Overton, Kyle Sayers, Darren Winsett, , John (Red) Patterson and Chris Rogers. There are also infielders Michael Felton and Kevin Cantrell, outfielders, Reggie York, Nate Coleman and catcher Chris Stevenson. All signees officially enroll at SWOSU in the fall of 2009 with the Bulldogs beginning their season in the spring of 2010
"We're very excited about this class," Selby said. "They are all very talented and athletic with a lot of potential. I don't think you can ever have too much pitching and (the signing class is) particularly strong in that area," Selby said. "I think offensively we have improved by adding for more speed in the outfield while getting a number of players who can play different positions in the infield."
The following is the list of the 2009 SWOSU baseball signee class.
