December 3, 2014 – With the 2015 Texas Collegiate League season right around the corner, the Victoria Generals have begun to sign players that will help them on their quest for another league championship. This week, the Generals have announced the addition of two players from Victoria East High School. Hunter Perkins, a 2013 graduate and Ryan Williams, a 2014 graduate, will suit up for the Generals as they begin play on May 28th. Both players come to us from Alvin Community College in Alvin, TX.

“We look forward to having local talent on our ball club and expect great things from both of them,” commented Mike Yokum, the GM for the Victoria Generals. “Victoria East, under the leadership of Wes Kolle, have proven themselves as a dominate team over the past few seasons and we look forward to these guys being a big part of our success. "

Hunter Perkins, a right-handed sophomore at Alvin, was limited his freshman season due to injury and only tossed 4 innings, with 2 strikeouts, no walks and no runs allowed. His senior season with the East Titans, Perkins had a fine season throwing 53.1 innings, 7 starts (4 complete games), and finishing with a 6-3 record. Perkins had 69 strikeouts and held his opponent to a .143 batting average.

Ryan Williams, a left-handed freshman, had an amazing final season at East High School. Williams tossed 32 innings, compiled a 4-2 record in 7 appearances (5 starts), 2 complete games, had 53 strikeouts, only 7 walks, and 1 save. Williams led the team with an amazing 0.22 ERA.

"It will be great for the fans of Victoria baseball to get an opportunity to see these guys in a Generals uniform, " commented Yokum, " Both these young men have the potential to see plenty of game time this upcoming Summer, as a starter and in relief duties and will definitely be welcomed by their home town crowd."
