HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point Rockers on Wednesday drafted infielder Carlos Amezquita following the conclusion of the ALPB-Baseball America Pro Days powered by IndyBall Jobs. The two-day event was held at Truist Point on Tuesday and Wednesday. Amezquita was the eighth selection in the first round of the draft.
“Carlos showed a lot of promise during the showcase,” said Rockers manager Jamie Keefe. “He’s a shortstop who can play multiple infield positions and I’m looking forward to seeing him during our spring training.”
The Rockers open their two-week Spring Training session on Monday, April 14 at Truist Point.
