Corvallis Knights News Release


Sophomore shortstop Marc Gallegos of Corban University and the Corvallis Knights will miss the 2013 West Coast League season because of an injured left shoulder. He was an all-WCL selection in 2012, when he hit .309 in 52 games, with 19 RBIs, 36 runs and a franchise-record 26 steals.

Gallegos was hurt on March 27 while diving back into first base on a pickoff play in a game against Pacific University. He was hitting .393 in 27, with a homer, 20 RBIs and 12 steals.

He hit .346, with 26 RBIs and 33 steals, at Corban in 2012. He was an NAIA West first-team all-star selection, and an NAIA West Gold Glove selection.

The Knights also have lost Oregon redshirt freshman pitcher Sam Johnson, who will undergo surgery to remove bone spurs. He pitched two innings in two games this spring after missing all of the 2012 college season after undergoing arm surgery.

Rated as Oregon's No. 1 prospect by Perfect Game and No. 2 by Baseball Northwest in 2011, Johnson led Westview High School to the 2011 6A state championship.
