Former Coyote honored
Former Weatherford College baseball star Brenden Dixon was recently named to the Atlantic League First Half All-Star Team at second base. After a phenomenal start to the 2026 season with the Lexington Legends, where he hit .332 and smashed 14 home runs, his talent caught the eye of the Chicago White Sox, who signed him to their Double-A Birmingham Barons.
Rodriguez drafted
Ryne Rodriguez, former Weatherford College left-handed pitcher, was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 14th round of the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft. He is the 51st player from Weatherford College to be selected by a major league team in the program’s history.
