North Shore Navigators News Release


LYNN, Mass. - The North Shore Navigators' roster will include at least one player from Wofford College for the third consecutive Futures Collegiate Baseball League season in 2018, as general manager Bill Terlecky announced the signings of right-handed pitcher Scottie Wallace and outfielder Michael Wynne on Monday.

Wallace and Wynne, both freshmen, are the seventh and eighth-ever products of the Spartanburg, S.C., school to join the North Shore roster. Current Terrier outfielder Mack Nathanson and catcher Alec Cargin were members of the team in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

"Maintaining relationships with Division 1 programs, like the one we have with Wofford, has helped the FCBL grow so quickly in the summer collegiate baseball world," Terlecky said. "We've had success with players from their team for several years, and I'm excited to watch Scottie and Michael play for us in 2018."

A 6-foot-1, 195-pound righty, Wallace finished with a perfect 15-0 record over his junior and senior seasons at Charlotte (N.C.) Christian High School, including an eight-win mark with a 2.50 ERA during his final year. Wallace, whose team went 30-5 and finished as the Division 3A state runner-up, was named to both the North Carolina Baseball Coaches Association All-State Team and Charlotte Baseball Report's All-Area Team for his efforts this past spring. Wallace went 7-0 with two saves his junior year and won a state championship as a sophomore.

Wynne, a switch-hitting outfielder who hails from Marietta, Ga., helped Pope High School win its second 6A state title in five years as a senior after a second-place finish his junior year. The 5-foot-9, 155-pounder earned Perfect Game USA Southeast Region Honorable Mention honors in 2017. Wynne finished his three-year high school career with 77 runs 80 - seventh all-time at the school 80 - and 49 RBI. Last season, he hit .350 with a .570 on-base percentage and four home runs, while his 41 runs scored were good for third in school history.

The Navigators will be announcing more additions to the roster in the coming weeks and months in preparation for the 2018 season, which begins on May 31.
