With college playoffs taking place over the last week, there was a lot of exciting baseball played by GLC alumni. Meanwhile, with the MiLB season well underway, GLC’s pro alumni have continued to get better as the days go on.

Highlights

Ari Sechopoulos - College of Charleston

Sechopoulos and Charleston performed all season long; however, the season came to an end in the semi-finals of the CAA Tournament. Sechopoulos had a big week, bringing his season batting average to .285 and RBI total to 40. The senior ended his final campaign off strongly, capping a tremendous college career.

Wright and the Sycamores are moving on to the NCAA tournament. Wright’s two-home run week is a big reason why. The senior slugged all of 2021, hitting .306 with 16 home runs, and deservingly advances to the Nashville Regional, as Indiana State is the number three seed.
