Ashwaubenon, Wis.- The Green Bay Rockers have already announced the return of Texas A&M Corpus Christi outfielder Brendan Ryan and a pair of his teammates are set to join him in Green Bay this summer. The team announced today that catcher Justin Taylor along with right-handed pitcher JT Moeller have signed contracts for 2022. The team also announced the signing of University of Dayton left-handed reliever Eli Majick.
“We’re excited to bring in an experienced backstop and two great arms that will add some versatility to our pitching staff,” said Rockers field manager Chris Krepline.
Justin Taylor has started 15 games as he begins his junior season at Texas A&M Corpus Christi this spring after appearing in 22 games and starting 21 of them as a sophomore. Last year he batted a team-high .333 with 20 hits, four doubles, two triples and one home run. He also drove in 10 runs.
