Division I Signees Highlight This Weeks Generals Roster Additions
April 23, 2021 – With the 2021 Texas Collegiate League season just a little over a month away, the Victoria Generals announce their recent signings to their 2021 TCL roster. This week, the Generals have announced the addition of four Division I players from the University of New Orleans and New Mexico. Kasten Furr (UNO), Travis Gober (UNO), Shane Podsednik (NM), and Harry Fullerton (NM) will all suit up for the Generals as they embark on their 13th season in the TCL in late May.
"The ability to sign Division 1 players and mix in some experience along with younger players is key for us as we build our roster," commented Mike Yokum, Generals Vice President and General Manager. "Our partnership with UNO has grown over the years and it is great that we have begun a strong relationship this season with New Mexico."

Furr has appeared in 34 games with a .331 batting average, 121 at-bats, 40 hits, eight doubles, one home run, scored 31 runs, and an on-base percentage of .438 on the season. (stats thru 4/22/21) Furr appeared in 12 games with 10 starts as a freshman before Covid halted the 2020 season. Furr was ranked the tenth best short stop coming out of high school in Louisiana in 2019 by Perfect Game.
