Baseball welcomes newcomers for spring

Posted Feb 14, 2012
The start of a new baseball season comes with many things: midweek games and weekend series, sunshine and sunflower seeds, warm weather and warm-up pitches. But it also means a group of new faces on the diamond. UNC coach Mike Fox brought in 17 new players for the 2012 season including five players who were selected in the 2011 MLB draft but did not sign. Baseball America ranked the class as the 20th best in the country. (Daily Tar Heel)
