Otters Add Two From FL Draft

We selected two players in yesterday’s Frontier League draft, which followed two days of tryouts in Florence, Kentucky.  In the first round we chose catcher Nathan Thompson, who hit .294 during his four-year career at Liberty University.  Nathan hit 11 home runs and drove in 74 runs in 127 games.  LaDale Hayes, our second round pick, pitched at played the outfield for four years at Alabama A&M.  In 159 games, LaDale hit .324 with 10 home runs and 91 RBIs. 

Thompson and Hayes bring to 33 the number of players in training camp, which begins Thursday at Bosse Field.
