NEW: CUNNINGHAM SIGNS WITH OTERO JUNIOR COLLEGE 

Rider's senior Evan Cunningham has verbally committed to Otero Junior College in La Junta, Colorado. Otero plays in the Region IX Empire Conference, which is at the Division 1 JUCO level.  This past season their overall record was just below .500.  “We are very excited about Evan becoming a part of the Otero Junior College Baseball Program,” said Otero head coach Chris Carrillo. “During the recruiting process we see and talk to many kids and Evan was a very enjoyable young man to recruit.  He is a young man that has a tremendous amount of ability and I look forward to working with him in the future. We are very excited about the incoming freshman class and we are hoping that with guys like Evan we can elevate ourselves to the highest level possible.” 

Cunningham plays right field and pitches for the Riders.  He is one of the top pitchers again this year in the Riders rotation. Last season he went 4-0 and pitched a shutout in the opening round of the State Tournament. This season he leads the staff with a 7-2 record. He also has 37 strikeouts in 38 innings pitched, with 4.89ERA. At the plate, he is hitting .317 through 48 games, with 5 homeruns, 4 doubles, and 2 triples. He has scored 26 runs and has a .598 slugging percentage.

“Evan truly defines what it means to be a team player,” saidRiders head coach Nate Perleberg. “He is very unselfish and always does what it takes for the team. He is a guy that is a great role model for our program and someone that our younger players look up to. Evan’s hard work and dedication to baseball year-round has allowed him to become a great player in our program. He has really worked to earn this opportunity and I know that he will make the most of it.”

Cunningham is the 4th and final Riders senior to sign to play college baseball next fall. The Riders program has sent 16 players the last 4 years to play at the next level. “That is a tribute to the young men that we have in our program and are fortunate enough to work with everyday.”

Evan is the son of Will Cunningham and Marne Evans of Gillette.
