With Spring Training coming to an end, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at where some former Gamecocks would be in the 2017 season. South Carolina baseball has had a tremendous impact on the Majors in the last several years. Jackie Bradley Jr was featured on the front page of Sports Illustrated this week and Sam Dyson was trusted to pitch for the United States in the World Baseball Classic Championship Game. Let us know who you’re looking forward to following this season!
