LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Little Rock Baseball Coach Chris Curry announces the addition of ten new players to the 2023-24 roster. The Trojans will have eight new faces in their bullpen.
"With so many players from our 2023 roster returning, our needs for the 2024 team were specific and small in number. Coach Sanders and Coach Cox worked very hard to find the right players who fit not only our roster needs, but also have the character and makeup we're looking for. We feel all of our incoming players will have an opportunity to contribute immediately and enhance our team chemistry," said Coach Curry.
