SLAMMERS ADD TO ROSTER WITH THREE NEW SIGNINGS
The Joliet Slammers announced the signings of right-hand pitcher Kenny Ogg, infielder Matt Burch, and outfielder Chris Baker.
Right-hand pitcher Kenny Ogg previously played for Ohio University and the Birmingham-Bloomfield Beavers. During the 2021 season, Kenny played for the Boise Hawks where he pitched 13 games, earning 16 strikeouts in 18 innings, and lead the team with .964 whip!
Infielder Matt Burch signed and spent his 2021 season with the Chicago Cubs minor league affiliates. The original plan was to start the 2021 season at Myrtle Beach, and if everything went well, he could possibly rise to High-A South Bend, but during Spring Training, this infielder made the rare move of bypassing every other minor-league affiliate and was called up to fill Triple-A Iowa Cubs' roster and start his professional career.
Outfielder Chris Baker, and Chicagoland native, joins the Slammers after an incredible start with Trinity Christian College where he earned 15 home runs and 90 RBI during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Chris was selected All-Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference in 2019 and led the Trolls to the NCCAA World Series. Chris is an extremely athletic outfielder that can play all three positions! Chris was signed out of the California Winter League, where he hit .344 for the Lumberjacks.
