More WNC Wildcats Sign With Division I Programs
Four Western Nevada College baseball student athletes are signing with Division I programs during the early signing period that began this week. Players include:
Taylor Smart – a sophomore second baseman signing with the University of Tennessee of the Southeastern Conference. He was named to the Scenic West Athletic Conference First Team last season. “Smart hit in the two hole for most of the season and was in the top five for the conference in on-base percentage and walks,” Head Coach DJ Whittemore said. He also added nine stolen bases and 34 hits. "Taylor has really grown in the past year and a half as player, person, student, and leader. His growth is a big reason our team is confident heading into the 2012 season."
