Texas State Trio Headline Latest Signings for Generals
April 15, 2021 – With the 2021 Texas Collegiate League season rapidly approaching, the Victoria Generals announce their recent signings as they build their 2021 TCL roster. This week, the Generals have announced the addition of three players from the Texas State Bobcats. Infielders, Cameron Gibbons, Cade Manning and left-handed pitcher Cody Farmer will all suit up for the Generals as they embark on their 13th season in the TCL at Riverside Stadium in late May.
"Our partnership with the coaching staff at Texas State is one of the best as we continue to get top notch players each year from their organization," commented Mike Yokum, Generals Vice President and General Manager. "Our partnership continues to grow and we look forward to watching these players perform against some of the best players in the country."
Cameron Gibbons, a junior from Houston, TX, will take the field primarily at shortstop and third base for the Generals. Gibbons was off to a great start in 2020 before Covid 19 brought a halt to the season. Gibbons appeared in 11 games, 58 at bats, scoring eight runs, eight hits, six runs batted in while compiling a .364 batting average and a .462 on-base percentage.

Gibbons has appeared in 20 games thus far in 2021, hitting .251 with nine runs scored, 14 hits, four runs batted in, a pair of doubles and a triple.
Cade Manning, a freshman from Southlake, TX, will suit up for the Generals playing primarily as a middle infielder. Manning has appeared in 11 games for the Bobcats thus far hitting .247 with a on-base percentage of .393 on the season.
