Walla Walla Sweets News Release


WALLA WALLA, Wash. - As the 2015 roster for the Walla Walla Sweets continues to take shape, the team announced today the addition of four players from Division I, UC Irvine. Matt Majors, a member of the 2014 squad will return in 2015. He will be joined by teammates Michael Agramonte, Jake Hazard, and Parker Coss.

Matt Majors, a 6-foot tall, 185-pound, right handed pitcher is a native of Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The freshman at UC Irvine appeared in eight games for the Sweets in 2014, striking out seven batters in 17 innings pitched, and notching one save.

"Matt saw limited innings with the Sweets in 2014, but will see plenty of time on the mound for the Anteaters this spring," said Sweets manager Frank Mutz. "His experience in the West Coast League and power arm will make him an asset to us this summer."

Michael Agramonte, is a 6-foot 3-inch, 210-pound right handed pitcher, and a freshman at UC Irvine. Agramonte, is originally from Lakewood, California and is a graduate of Mayfair High School. As a senior at Mayfair, Agramonte was 3-4 with one save, and a 1.62 ERA.

"Michael will gain a lot of experience this season pitching in a tough Big West Conference," added Mutz. "We'll count on that experience to help him as part of our rotation in Walla Walla, and look forward to having him on the team."

Jake Hazard, is a 2014 graduate of Beckman High School and is a native of Tustin, California. The 6-foot 2-inch, 200-pound outfielder is an Orange County standout, who as a junior hit .420 with 18 RBI and was named first-team All-Pacific Coast League.

"Jake is a strong and physical outfielder, and the Anteaters coaching staff believe he will see significant playing time for the them in the spring," added Mutz. "His speed and power will help him cover the big outfield at Borleske."

Parker Coss, is a 6-foot, 165-pound infielder from San Juan Capistrano, California. In 2014, as a senior at Capistrano Valley Christian High School, Coss hit .375 with nine doubles and 23 RBI. As a junior he hit .337 with 11 doubles, two triples, and three home runs.

According to Mutz, "Parker is very strong defensively, with a lot of experience at shortstop. His ability to play multiple infield positions is an asset and I will look to Parker to hold our middle infield together in 2015."

The 2015 season of West Coast League baseball will open on June 5, 2015. Season tickets, Friends and Family Passes, 12-game vouchers, and partial season ticket plans are on sale now.
