Mack Signs With Yankees

Columbia, S.C. - South Carolina outfielder DeAngelo Mack has agreed to terms and will sign a contract with the New
York Yankees.  A 13th round selection in last week’s MLB Draft, Mack earned second-team All-SEC honors this year at
Carolina and led the Gamecocks in hitting with a .361 batting average (92-for-255) with 14 HR and 60 RBI as well.
Mack will start his career with the Staten Island Yankees in the short-season New York-Penn League.

“It’s been a great ride at South Carolina,“ said Mack.  “Playing for Carolina was a dream come true and I enjoyed my four
years with the program.  It’s hard to leave.  The fans have been great; I’ve played with a great group of teammates.
Coach Tanner and the coaching staff have been excellent and I enjoyed my time.  I’m proud to be a Gamecock.“
