WYMAN & TAYLOR SIGN WITH BLUE HOSE BASEBALL

CLINTON, SC — Jordan Taylor and Jonathan Wyman have signed national letters of intent to play baseball at Presbyterian College announced today by head coach Doug Kovash.

Taylor, a 6-3, 205-pound pitcher/outfielder is from Iron Mountain, MI where he plays legion baseball for the Iron Mountain Golds. In addition, Taylor plays for the Felch Rangers of the Wischigan League, a combined league made up of high schools players from the states of Wisconsin and Michigan.

Last summer Taylor hit .481 with 11 homeruns, four triples, 17 doubles, and 81 RBI’s. On the mound, he posted a 9-2 record with 99 strikeouts.

“Jordan is a good left-handed hitter with power,” said Kovash. ”He will help us immediately on the mound and will probably see time at designated hitter to start his career.”

Wyman, a 5-9, 185-pound catcher is from Alpharetta, GA where he plays for Chattahoochee High School and head coach Tim Lemons. Currently Wyman’s high school team is playing in the Georgia state playoffs with a 26-4 record and is ranked second in the state in 6-A baseball.

During the summer, Wyman plays for the East Cobb Baseball Organization. Among his honors he was named a top 20 prospect by Baseball America in the state of Georgia, a Fulton County All-Star, and Georgia Dugout Player of the Week selection. He is a member of this AAU National Championship team and AAU Georgia State Championship team from 1995-2000.

“Jonathan reminds me a lot of Brad Teal (former Blue Hose all-conference and all-region standout catcher) behind the plate,” said Kovash. “He has the ability to manage the game from behind the plate and has a great understanding of his pitchers.”
