Florida A&Ms Ty Hanchey is headed to the pros. The Rattler’s star catcher signed a free agent contract on Tuesday to play with Major League Baseball’s San Francisco Giants.
The Virginia Beach native helped FAMU win its first Southwestern Athletic Conference title. Hanchey finished his collegiate career with 130 hits and 14 home runs, earning him a spot in last week’s HBCU College Swingman Classic.
He joins four other HBCU players to receive an MLB contract this week. The former Rattler will get his first taste of the big leagues this Friday, as the Giants take on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
