Rogues Ink Aki Buckson

"Aki Buckson has pure athleticism and tremendous bat speed," said Rogues head coach Sean Gallagher. "Pitching in the upper 80's with true command of all four of his pitches, he will be a true two-way player for the Rogues this summer. He is being heavily recruited right now as he is in transfer status, and I am excited to see what he will do for us on the field this summer."
