Former UNC & Northwood pitcher Davis Palermo begins next chapter with Rockies

Posted Jul 28, 2022
When the Colorado Rockies called former UNC pitcher Davis Palermo before their eighth round pick on July 18, he was at a loss for words. "It was pretty unbelievable," Palermo, who was selected at No. 236 overall, said. "It’s just a pretty crazy thing to think about. It took a little bit to settle in. Even last year at this time, I would’ve said you were crazy." (Chatham News & Record)
