Western Carolina senior Luke Gragg has been selected this season's "Leggett No. 7 Legacy" player as chosen by head coach Bobby Moranda and the Catamount baseball coaching staff.
Moranda announced the selection of Gragg at the "Celebration of Catamount Baseball" banquet held Saturday (Jan. 18) on-campus at the University Center.
Gragg is the fourth player to wear the legacy honor. Former Catamount catcher Stephen Notaro was the first recipient in 2011 with left-handed pitchers Vance Chavis (2012) and Morgan McKinney (2013) also donning the No. 7 jersey in their final seasons.
"Among the many great past individuals that have influenced the success and the prestige of Western Carolina baseball, Jack Leggett stands out above most. His legacy lives on here every day," said Moranda of the Leggett Legacy tradition. "Every season, we will name one player who exemplifies what it is to be a Catamount baseball player and that deserves to wear the No. 7 jersey to honor the foundation laid by Jack."
