agreement to play baseball for
Spartanburg Methodist College

Polk County Schools athletic
director Geoff Tennant said he
believes it was Stott’s hitting
that caught the attention of

all four years of playing baseball
in Polk County. Gaddy said Stott
hit seven homeruns last year, and
only struck out once or twice all
year long.
Stott played first base and
pitched and made no defensive
errors, Gaddy said.
“Ty is a particularly adept
hitter,” Tennant said.“I believe
Joyce was very happy to sign him
and expects him to make a
contribution.”
On hand for the signing
ceremony were Ty with his
parents, James and Peggy Stott,
Wolverine baseball coach Jeff
Wilson, SMC Coach Lon Joyce,
and Tennant.
