Another catcher signed

According to the Frontier League website, the Wild Things have signed catcher Adrian Bravo-Carmona.

A quick Internet search shows that Bravo-Carmona follows the familiar script of signees for new Washington manager Chris Bando. Bravo-Carmona is from California (Riverside) and played at an NAIA school the last two years, Mid-American Christian University in Oklahoma. He also played at San Bernandino Valley College.

Bravo-Carmona batted .366 last year as a senior with 12 home runs and 38 RBI. As a junior, he hit .421 with 14 home runs and 31 RBI.

The most interesting thing I could find on Carmona-Bravo is that he was listed on Mid-American Christian's roster as being 5-8 and 220 pounds as a junior and 5-10, 205 as a senior. There wasn't much information available.

The signing brings the number of catchers under contract for spring training to four. Each is classified as a rookie by Frontier League roster rules.

Note to self: Research how small college position players with no prior pro experience have fared with the Wild Things. I can quickly think of two (Chris Sidick and Jay Coakley) who made significant contributions.
