South Carolina pitcher Corey Stone announced Thursday that he is transferring from the Gamecocks after one season with the program.
Stone, a Mid-Carolina standout, made three appearances for USC this year, pitching two innings and giving up three hits and two walks but no runs. As a senior in high school, the left-hander went 8-0 with a 1.02 ERA and 86 strikeouts in 61 2/3 innings pitched. At the plate, he hit .396 with three homers and 23 RBI, helping the Rebels to the Class 3A Upper State championship game.
He plans to attend a junior college for one season, he told The State.
