Congrats to Former Gamecock Steve Tolleson

Tolleson makes the short list of 40.

Tolleson was a former gamecock baseball player who is having success at the next level. We wish him well.

Tolleson, a fifth-round pick by the Twins in 2005, just finished his winter season in the prestigious Arizona Fall League, where he hit .383 in 27 games. He had seven doubles, two homers and a .449 on-base percentage. During the summer, Tolleson hit .300 in 93 games on the Double-A level and was named to the Eastern League all-star team.

Vote for Ellis Johnson!
