After three years in the minors Nick Sandlin found his way to the majors. The Tribe’s 2018 67th draft pick will be on the Indians roster for the Chicago White Sox series Friday.
Sandlin is a product of the University of Southern Mississippi baseball organization. The right-hander held a leading career 1.70 ERA for the University. USM’s head coach Scott Berry stated “he’s probably the best I’ve ever had” during a press conference when Sandlin signed with the Indians.
Berry also spoke fondly of Sandlin’s demeanor both on and off the field. He wasn’t the only one to do so.
