He hit for a team-high in batting average (.322), hits (114), triples (five – tied with three others), home runs (18) and had the most walks on the team (64). He was also efficient on the basepaths, stealing 41 bases (3rd most in Otters’ single-season history) on 44 attempts.
Myers started his collegiate career at Wabash Valley College in Mt. Carmel, Ill. before playing two years at South Carolina and finishing his collegiate career in 2022 at USC Upstate.
He was also named a Frontier League Midseason All-Star and appeared in the outfield throwing competition as part of the league’s all-star game festivities.
Myers was the Frontier League Player of the Week for the week of August 15th in 2023 with a .455 BA, 10 runs and 11 RBIs over six games. That included a historic game on August 17th at Florence when Myers totaled 7 RBIs – tied for the second most in Evansville history and tying the franchise single-game record with three doubles.
