Wild Things sign catcher

The Wild Things have signed another rookie player, Justin McDavid, who played the last two seasons at West Virginia University.

McDavid (6-3, 190) is from Queen Creek, Ariz. He batted .290 in 2010 and .276 last year for the Mountaineers. He had five home runs and 53 RBI in 2010, averaging more than one RBI per game.

“He’s a local kid and is a strong left-handed hitting catcher who is versatile and athletic enough to play corner infield,” new Wild Things manager Chris Bando said. “He has a strong arm and is a gap-to-gap hitter.”

Playing in West Virginia does not make him a 'local kid'. He is from Arizona, a long way from being a local.

What the Wild Things need is more local players, guys from places like Pancake, the West End, Canton Township, the Hill, maybe even Green Hills.

WHO CARES where the player is from?
