Gamecock OF DeAngelo Mack signed a contract Monday morning with the New York Yankees.
He is scheduled to open the season with the Staten Island Yankees in the short-season Class A New York-Penn League later this week.
I was hoping he would come back to play for Tanner after leading the Gamecocks in hitting with a .361 batting average to go with 14 homers and 60 RBI. I am sure he has his reasons — chance at MLB stardom, no more school, money, being part of the Yankees and did I mention money.
LOHD wishes him all the best!
