Adam Pate Wears “C” For 2013 Class

3-year Dirtbag veteran Adam Pate has been named “Captain” of the Dirtbags Baseball Club announced Head Coach, Andy Partin.

“Adam has grown in our program, he’s become a terrific player and leader and has put himself in a position to help lead our program in 2012,” stated Partin. He’s everything we want in a Dirtbag. We all look forward to watching Adam continue to develop on and off the field and we know he will help pilot the Dirtbag community to great things this summer and fall.”

Pate is a 2013 graduate from C.B. Aycock high school in Pikeville, NC. He is a superb outfield defender, and features the ability to play every position on the diamond.
