Tiger Baseball Player Biographies

Coach Dennis says..."Zach is returning this year after having an outstanding Freshman season. He is a hard working young man that is going to be one of the real driving forces for us this spring."

Coach Dennis says..."Brooks comes to us from Nashville Christian where he was one of the top arms. He is going to be counted on for relief time for us this year and at his best does a great job of inducing ground balls."

Coach Dennis says..."Zach is one of those solid Ringgold products that have traditionally helped us out so much in the past. He is a very good infielder who has great instincts in the field. At the plate he should be a gap to gap hitter who shows great promise."

Coach Dennis says..."Isaac missed last season after having a remarkably good Freshman year in 2010. He is a lightning quick left handed hitter who should be a top of the order guy for us this year."

Coach Dennis says..."Tyler had a highly decorated career at Boyd Buchanan where he led the city in stolen bases last year. He is moving to 2B and possibly LF and can be a guy that becomes a difference maker for us. "

Coach Dennis says..."Daniel comes in from Walters State last year and should help solidify our outfield this year. He is an outstanding young man that is talented at the plate and very aggressive on the bases. "

Coach Dennis says..."Matt did a great job behind the dish last year before going down to shoulder problems. He is better this year and we have high hopes that he will be a guy to be counted on behind the dish for us."

Coach Dennis says..."Jordy comes to us from Australia and has already shown that he can and will be a difference-maker. He is outstanding defensively and equally adept at the plate. He is worth coming to watch play every day."

Coach Dennis says..."Mac transferred in this semester from Chicago State University and is competing to play at 3B. We are just getting to see him some now and evaluate him but he appears to be a guy with very nice skills both in the field and at the plate."

Coach Dennis says..."Ben is a local product who is going to be red-shirting this spring."

Coach Dennis says..."John comes in from Lafayette HS where he was one of their top pitchers. He is a strike-throwing right hander who has shown flashes of excellence this fall. Our hope is he can progress into one of our best relievers for this year."

Coach Dennis says..."Colton transferred in this fall from Georgia Southern and immediately made an impact with his arm and stuff. He prepped at Dalton HS and was counted on by former Chatt State baseball coach, Bob Brotherton, as one of their aces. He has outstanding stuff and should be a starter for us."

Coach Dennis says..."Kevin is back with the Tigers after attempting to play OF here a couple of years. Injuries limited his time here but he has come back healthy and as a pitcher and will contend for immediate duty as a reliever."

Coach Dennis says..."Cody is another of our Nashville Christian products and has an outstanding arm and great stuff. He missed most of the fall with an injury but has come back stronger and ready to throw this spring. He should be one of our most counted on relief pitchers."

Coach Dennis says..."Brady finished the season for us last year catching and hit over .375 during his time in the lineup. Hailing from Ooltewah HS, he is an outstanding athlete behind the plate and a feared hitter."

Coach Dennis says..."Alex transferred in at mid-term from UNC-Greensboro and has made an impact both on the mound and at the plate. He shows great power at the plate and excellent stuff on the bump. "

Coach Dennis says..."Dylan had a very nice Freshman season for us last year and is being counted on to be a true Sophomore leader this year. The tall right hander from SE Whitfield HS is going to be utilized as both a starter and reliever."

Coach Dennis says..."Tripp has the stuff to be a #1 guy on any given day. He had some great outings last year and fared well both in conference and out of conference. He has lights out stuff and a very competitive demeanor on the mound."

Coach Dennis says..."– Preston is another of the very quick and physically talented outfielders for this year’s team. He has great speed in the field and shows the ability to hit with authority to all fields. As he physically matures, Preston can become an everyday guy."

Coach Dennis says..."Alex was another locally decorated player. He hails from Ridgeland HS in North Georgia and was one of their best pitchers over 3 years. He is a guy that may very well start some in weekday games and work himself towards weekend games. This young man is very competitive."

Coach Dennis says..."Tyler follows older brother, Seth, here and shows many of the same skills that Seth had. He has an outstanding arm and very easily could see time immediately in big games. He continues to improve and progress and the sky is the limit for this young man and his stuff."

Coach Dennis says..."Connor follows Patrick Merkling and Andy Marinelli as products from Etowah HS in Atlanta. He is a big strong 3B / 1B type player that hits extremely well. He is very focused on success and with his work ethic and size, he could progress into a middle of the order guy on a daily basis."

Coach Dennis says..."Carson transferred in at break from UNC-Greensboro and has already shown that he is capable of being a weekend starter from the start. He is a big strong right hander who has 3 pitch capability and seems to be fitting in really well so far."

Coach Dennis says..."Moises came in a mid-term from traditional JUCO power, San Jacinto College, and is competing to gain playing time in the outfield. He is very gifted in the field and at the plate and should be a guy to work in and see playing time."

Coach Dennis says..."Luke is another Aussie that has come in and made himself known right away. A big power hitting right hander, he should see time in the outfield, first base and DH throughout the spring."

Coach Dennis says..."Taylor transferred in at break from Austin Peay University. He is a big strong right handed pitcher who can be a power arm for us this spring. He also has shown the ability to swing the bat and may be counted on as a middle of the order guy too."

Coach Dennis says..."Tyler was 2nd Team All Conference last year at first base and has worked hard to do even more for this spring. He is a hard working, driven young man who has taken huge strides in the area of leadership and will be one of our “go-to” guys this spring."

Coach Dennis says..."Blake red-shirted last spring and has already shown signs of really catching on this year. He is a hard-throwing right hander who competes in the zone and shows flashes of being dominating. Our hope is that he can be a solid reliever for us this spring."
