Some news that most USC Gamecocks baseball fans did not want to hear and that is Whit Merrifield is going to skip his senior year of baseball. After reaching his dream of winning a national championship, I guess it is time for the next challenge.
The RH hitter selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 9th round of the MLB Draft has decided to pursue his pro career. News out of USC reveals he has agreed to terms with KC and the deal is done. No details yet on the deal struck but I am sure it was sweet to get him to leave USC.
Thanks Whit for the memories in the garnet and black uniform! Good luck.
