Returns With Pitching Prospect Stergiadis
Calgary
Dawgs Baseball Club is pleased to announce
the signing of WMBL All-star, middle infielder Robbie Recuenco
of Armstrong Atlantic University in Savannah, Georgia along with
talented RHP Jay Stergiadis from the University
of Nebraska (Kearney).
Rob
Recuenco: is a 5’10”, 175 lb. middle infielder
who hails from Vancouver, BC and has been a standout for the Dawgs
over the past 2 seasons. During the 2004 college season Robbie was
sensational, batting .357 with a team leading 49 runs, 10 doubles
and 2 home runs. For the Dawgs
last summer Recuenco was a big part of the WMBL Championship team,
batting .299 with a team leading 52 runs and 21 stolen bases. Robbie
has been a catalyst for the Dawgs
with electrifying speed on offence, gap power and a cannon across
the infield.
Jay
Stergiadis: is a 6’4”, 220 lb. Junior, RHP
who hails from Pickering, Ontario and currently is projected to
be one of the key starting pitchers in the rotation of Coach Damon
Day at the University of Nebraska (Kearney). Jay was a highly touted
transfer from Bluefield State College in West Virginia where he
played with 2004 Dawgs
middle infielder, Aaron Jamieson until Jamieson transferred to Marshall
University. Stergiadis was honored as a preseason selection by Collegiate
Baseball Magazine where he was identified as a “blue chip”
player for Nebraska. Jay features a high 80s fastball and is a former
member of Team Ontario.
“Dawgs
are thrilled to add 2 more quality players to the 2005 roster. Robbie
is a fan favorite and WMBL All-star and Jay Stergiadis will battle
for a spot in the starting rotation this summer. No question that
both of these guys will make important contributions in the Dawgs’
run to repeat as WMBL Champions.”
