Lynchburg closer Alex Wilson, who saved 16 of 17 for the Hillcats, has reportedly retired in favor of medical school.
Wilson, a 15th-round pick in the 2012 draft out of Wofford University, had eight saves for Rome in 2013, but really came on this year. The 23-year-old, a prototype releiver's body at 6-3, 225, wound up the year 4-3, 2.02, with 16 saves. In July alone, he had six saves and an 0.69 ERA.
A chemistry major, he was named to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll in each of his three seasons. He returned to school this past off-season and earned his degree with a nod towards pre-med. It seems that this was the plan all along!
