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.

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.
