Both of the drafted players in UL-Lafayette’s baseball signing class have now announced their intentions to enroll in school and delay a potential professional career.
Catcher Handsome Monica, a Mandeville native who was picked in the 33rd round of last week’s Major League Baseball draft by the Atlanta Braves, posted on his Twitter account Friday that he will join the Ragin’ Cajuns this fall after one year at Northwest Florida State College.
“Thanks Atlanta Braves for the opportunity you’ve given me, but I will be attending UL for my junior year #GoCajuns,” Monica said on his account, @HandsomeOVO.
