Rice Signs Free Agent Contract With Philadelphia Phillies Organization

PHILADELPHIA – USC Aiken’s Bill Rice signed a professional contract with the Philadelphia Phillies organization on Monday, July 19, 2010.

Rice has been assigned to Clearwater of the Rookie Gulf Coast League. He had been playing this summer with the New Jersey Pilots of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League before receiving the offer from the Phillies.

The Phillies become the 20th organization to draft or sign a former Pacer. Rice is the sixth former Pacer currently playing professional baseball.

A junior this past season, Rice finished his lone season in a Pacer uniform with a team-high 15 home runs. He concluded his season in the top 11 in the Peach Belt Conference in 11 different categories.

Rice ended the regular season hitting a team second-best .374 (77-for-206). He was tops among all Pacers during the year with 68 RBIs and 58 runs scored. He was also the team leader in total bases with 145. (continue to full article)

All-Metro Player of the Year
Brad Markey C.M. Wright
The Georgia Tech-bound Markey dominated like few other pitchers in metro-area history, leading the top-ranked Mustangs (23-0) to their first-ever state title and a No. 14 national ranking by USA Today. Markey finished 8-0 with a 0.58 ERA, allowing just four earned runs in 482/3 innings. He struck out 56 and walked just five. The 5-foot-10 right-hander, whose pitches have been clocked as high as 90 mph, carried a scoreless streak of 27 innings into the Class 3A final, going the distance in a 4-1 win over Huntingtown. His best all-around game came in the Class 3A North regional final against Towson, when he pitched a five-inning no-hitter, allowing his only base-runner on an error, and drove in five runs.

When not on the mound, Markey was a standout shortstop. He batted .426 with six doubles, six triples and a team-leading 35 RBIs. His combined efforts helped C. Milton Wright become the first public school team in Maryland to go unbeaten in a decade.

Injuries associated with throwing in baseball are reaching epidemic proportions. Injuries seen previously only in professional pitchers are now commonplace in high school and younger. Many of these injuries could be prevented with proper strength, flexibility and conditioning. Josh Billings, Physical Therapist and Clinic Director of Harborview Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy in Baltimore, will be speaking on how to minimize your injury risk as a thrower. Josh offers a comprehensive evaluation of strength and flexibility for throwers (whether injured or not), including a corrective exercise program to add to your training program. These programs will assist in both injury prevention and performance enhancement. If unable to see Josh during camp time, these evaluations are also performed at the clinic. 410-350-83

  The Southern Maryland Baseball Camp is an established and well-known instructional environment that offers a tremendous opportunity for the student athlete who is interested in pursuing college and professional baseball. For the younger athlete, the camp provides a look into the future while providing them with the best possible foundation for success

  The importance of education, self discipline, and substance abuse are addressed during the camp. We will also speak with the parents and the athletes on making the best decision on which college is right for them.
