Wednesday, June 19, 2019

McCOOK, Neb. — McCook Community College infielder Angel Mojica of Denver has signed on to play baseball this fall with NAIA Waldorf University in Forest City, Iowa.

“I’m happy for Angel. This is a really good program and I think he has the chance to make a big impact right away,” “ MCC baseball coach Jon Olsen said.

Mojica is a 5-6, 135-pound infielder who attended Alameda High School in Denver, played in all 48 games this season for the Indians. He batted .252 with two home runs and 20 RBIs in 143 at bats. As a defender he made just four errors on the season in 146 total chances primarily at second and third base and finished with a .973 fielding percentage.

"Angel is an excellent defender and really improved as a hitter here," Olsen said. "We are looking forward to seeing him make an impact at Waldorf and wish him the best of luck," Olsen said.

The Warriors made a run at the North Star Athletic Association Tournament but fell short of an automatic bid for the 46-team national tournament by losing to Bellevue to finish as runner-up in both the tournament and in the regular season standings. Waldorf did post the most wins in school history this year and finished 30-22.
