Another Local Athlete Signs with MBi Sports
GREENSBORO, NC— Tyler Sexton is a 24 year old, left-handed pitcher from the Triad. In June 2008 he was selected in the 31st round of the Major league Draft by the Baltimore Orioles organization. Sexton attended T. Wingate Andrews High School in High Point where he was a three year letterman. After graduating in 2003, he went on to attend Campbell University where he played for one season until transferring to Western Carolina University. At WCU, Sexton was a three year starter. In 2007 and 2008 he was named ESPN The Magazine District III Third Team Academic All-American; in 2008 he was a Lowes Senior Class Award Nominee and was named Western Carolina’s Male Scholar Athlete of the Year.
Sexton is now being represented by Mike Baker of MBi Sports Management, which is a sports marketing and athlete representation agency located in Greensboro, NC. Baker believes that "Tyler is that great talent that every agent aspires to represent. A tall left handed pitcher who's work ethic and determination to succeed is contagious. I love being around him. He has that good mojo!" Sextons work ethic is very evident as he was awarded Pitcher of the Week in the NY Penn League in 2009. Sexton will be reporting back to the Orioles organization for spring training camp on March 1st.
