The league specializes in providing competitive teams geared to help players improve their skills and advance to higher level leading to professional baseball. King will be competing in a 40-game schedule.
“The competition will take our team across the state of North Carolina. The season runs for 2 months.” King continued, “I am playing for the Tarheel Kings and the Carolina Yankees, and I’m playing the hot corners, first and third base.
The summer will be filled with road trips, and many opportunities to contribute both offensively and defensively.
“Yesterday we played against the Fuquay-Varina Twins, I went 3-3 on the day, 2 singles, a double and 5 Rbi's, and I played at third base.”
