Former M-E Spartan Brody Raleigh to begin Sophomore Season at WCU
CULLOWHEE, NC (WIVT/WBGH) – It is that time of the year for D-I college baseball to get underway, and one former Maine-Endwell Spartan has been competing at this next level, heading into his Sophomore year. Brody Raleigh is set for year number 2 at Western Carolina. Brody Raleigh competed out of M-E until COVID struck, where he finished his last 2 years of high school at a private school in North Carolina, but he says Maine-Endwell is still his alma mater and a place he loves.
Before high school, he was part of the M-E Little League team that won the Little League World Series. In his first season as a Catamount, he played in 13 games, entering 7 times as a pinch hitter, and 4 as a pinch runner. He recorded 3 runs and an RBI with a 231 on-base percentage. Last season the team went 28-26 overall, and 13-8 in conference, before falling in the SoCon Baseball Championships, but Raleigh has high hopes of the team being even better this season.
'This is a group of guys who really work hard,' said Raleigh. 'I don't think there's going to be much that's going to stop us in our way of preparing'
Raleigh's season with the Catamounts kicks off Friday, February 14th on the road against Georgia Southern.
