Sawyer Gipson-Long

I was a state swimmer in high school, it was my first sport and I was competitive with it from middle school through high school. Baseball is my current professional sport. I was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 6th round in 2019. In my first full professional season I had one of the top strikeout to walk ratios in the Twins organization, striking out 134 batters in 97 innings while only walking 27. In college I was the Friday night starter my junior year and was a nationally ranked pitcher in my strikeout to walk ratio that year. As a high school pitcher I received Cherokee County Pitcher of the Year my senior year in 2016.
