A quick update for you today on former Northeast Guilford pitcher Mitch Atkins now working with the Chicago Cubs AAA Iowa Cubs ball team.
Mitch was a teammate of current Greensboro Grasshopper Jeremy Synan while with the NEG Rams.
Here the most recent word on Mitch Atkins from insidetheivy.com:
Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Mitch Atkins is trying to rebound from a few rough outings at the start of the season at Class AAA Iowa. After taking home honors last season for Cubs Minor League Pitcher of the Year, the right-hander ended the month of April with a 6.99 ERA through five starts.
I really hope that Mitch makes it, he`s a well like young man.
