The Minor League baseball season has returned and 15 former Bulldogs resumed their quest to reach the Majors after the ongoing pandemic canceled their 2020 campaign.
Four Bulldogs reunited as teammates in the Seattle Mariners organization. Pitchers Tim Elliott and Emerson Hancock are part of the Everett AquaSox, the Class-A affiliate while outfielders Stephen Wrenn and Keegan McGovern are part of the Arkansas Travelers, the Double-A affiliate.
Hancock, the sixth overall selection in the 2020 MLB draft, made his professional debut on Thursday and pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his first start. Elliott, a fourth round pick in 2019, pitched in relief this past Tuesday and registered eight strikeouts over 3.
