The Western Canadian Baseball League squad recently announced the signing of Colin Conroy, an infielder and shortstop specialist out of Towson University, who play in the Division I Colonial Athletic Association.
The 5-foot-8, 155-pound Orange, Ca. product served as the Tigers’ starting shortstop the past two seasons and has proven to be pretty decent with the leather. He put together a .926 fielding percentage in both his junior and senior seasons, committing only five errors on 68 chances in 2019 -- a season cut short due to injury after 16 games -- before throwing down the exact same numbers before the 2020 campaign was cancelled after 14 games due to the pandemic.
At the plate, Conroy led Towson with a .288 average in 2019, scoring eight runs, hitting a double and recording a pair of runs batted in through 52 at bats.
A season later, he hit .204, crossing the plate 11 times and knocking in seven. That included a six-game hitting streak from Feb. 22 to Mar. 4 that ended up being the Tigers’ longest of the season. Conroy was also second on the team with four stolen bases.
The Miller Express open the 2021 WCBL campaign on May 28 when they host the Medicine Hat Mavericks at Ross Wells Park.
