Rattlers Add Five KSU Players


The Rossville Rattlers are pleased to announce the signing of 5-players from Kansas State University. 
Last season the Rattlers benefited from the talents of Matt Wivinis, Austin Fisher, Joe Flattery and Caleb Wallingford. For 2013, Wildcats Coach Brad Hill has sent a brand new group of players to hone their talents in summer wood bat baseball.
Lance Miles, SS, (The Woodlands, TX): A three-year letter winner for the Highlanders under head coach Ron Eastman, Miles earned all-district honors on three occasions, while he was named an all-state performer as a senior. He was selected as the all-county defensive player of the year at shortstop after setting The Woodlands' career fielding percentage record while also being selected for the Houston Area All-Star Game.
Alex Bee, C, (Chatham, IL): Alex played two years at University High in Normal, Ill., under his father, Greg Bee, before playing his final two years for Chatham High School. Bee was an all-state selection as a senior and earned all-conference accolades each year. He helped lead Chatham to a regional and section championship in 2011. Alex hit .433 with two home runs and 30 RBI as a senior, one year after hitting .373 with five homers and 34 RBI.
Levi MaVorhis, RHP, (Freeland, WA): Levi lettered three years for Archbishop Murphy led them to a 28-2 record and its first ever state championship in 2012. As a senior, he went 11-0 with a 1.65 ERA and three shutouts in 68 innings, while he also hit .437 with nine doubles, one home run, 31 RBI and a .538 on-base percentage. He was named the conference's player of the year and the Washington Class 2A Player of the Year and also earned MaxPreps All-America honors as a utility player. Levi led the squad to an 18-1 mark and a league championship as a junior in 2011, while the Wildcats were 27-3 and earned both league and district championships in 2010.
Braxton Wilks, LHP/OF, (Sugar Land, TX): Braxton is not currently on Kansas State's roster, as he is finishing his Senior year at Episcopal High School in Sugar Land, Texas. Wilks hit .350 last season for Episcopal and is a mainstay in the outfield, as he switched from left to center field. He signed a letter of intent with Kansas State University in August and will be a Wildcat next season.
Jake Fromson, RHP,  (Lee's Summit, MO): Jake is not currently on Kansas State's roster, as he is finishing his Senior year at Lee's Summit High School. This past summer, Fromson posted a 2.21 ERA in 54 1/3 innings pitched for Building Champions of the Ban Johnson League in Kansas City. Jake signed a letter of intent with Kansas State University in November and will be a Wildcat next season.
