Julian Ridings selected in 2013 MLB Draft
Julian Ridings came to the attention of MLB scouts after his Valley League MVP season with the Waynesboro Generals in 2012. Now Ridings is on his way to pro baseball. The Western Carolina junior outfielder was drafted in the 18th round by the Tampa Bay Rays. Ridings, a 6’2”, 170-pounder, hit .377 for the Catamounts in 2013 on the heels of his monster summer in Waynesboro in 2012, when he hit a league-leading .419 with seven homers, 39 RBIs and 15 stolen bases. Ridings also put up an otherworldly 1.111 OBS and led the Generals with 24 extra-base hits.
