Myers moving to Tampa Rays organization

Noah Myers

After a record-setting season playing independent professional baseball, Tilbury’s Noah Myers has signed with the Tampa Bay Rays organization.

Last year, his first as a professional, Myers was named the Frontier League rookie of the year, playing for the Evansville Otters.

Myers set the Otters single-season record for runs scored with 86. He hit for a team-high in batting average (.322), hits (114), triples (five – tied with three others), home runs (18) and had the most walks on the team (64). He was also efficient on the base paths, stealing 41 bases (third most in Otters’ single-season history) on 44 attempts.

Myers started his collegiate career at Wabash Valley College in Mt. Carmel, Ill. before playing two years at South Carolina and finishing his collegiate career in 2022 at USC Upstate.

Myers was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2019 Major League Baseball draft in the 30th round, but went the college route rather than signing with the Blue Jays.
