Dawgs Add Speed To 2005 Outfield

Calgary Dawgs will feature some serious speed among its 2005 outfield corps. The Dawgs are pleased to announce the signing of some veterans as well as some speedy newcomers to the team’s outfield for the upcoming summer collegiate season.

Newcomers include Chris Frye, a 6’1” 185 lb. junior who hails from Minden, Louisiana and currently stars with the Pilots of the University of LSU Shreveport.

Frye was a big part of LSU earning a spot in the NAIA World Series on the campus of Lewis-Clark State College.

Joining Frye in the Dawgs outfield will another speedster, Rudy Vallejos. Vallejos is a 5’10” 195 lb. sophomore who makes his home in Ottawa but is currently playing with Porterville College in California. Rudy comes to the Dawgs on the recommendation of professional scouts who are impressed with his 6.6 sec. /60 yard speed, his strong arm from the outfield and his power at the plate. Dawgs look for Vallejos to be a major threat in their order.

The Dawgs are also extremely pleased to announce that Mik Dickson, the starting center-fielder for the 2004 WMBL Championship club, will be returning to patrol the outfield. Dickson is a 6’1”, 185 lb senior currently starring at the University of Nebraska in Kearney.
