Freshman infielder Chase Slone is looking forward to his first year with the Saluki baseball team. “I had opportunities to go to some really big schools. Once I took my visit here and I met the coaching staff, I loved it here,” he said. Slone played on the varsity squad at Siegel High School, located in Murfreesboro, Tenn. He has been picked by Baseball America to be the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year.
