The Tidewater Collegiate Summer League and the Outer Banks Daredevils are excited to announce a very special guest, who will be joining us at the ballpark opening night to throw out our first pitch, Michael Cuddyer. After retiring this off season following an outstanding 15 year big league career, including two All-Star selections and the 2013 National League Batting Title, Michael continues to give back to his community and to the game he loves, and we are excited to have him joining us at TowneBank OBX Park for our Opening Night celebration. The gates will open at 6:00pm, and there will be a meet and greet opportunity for our fans prior to the start of the game. Come out and enjoy a great night of collegiate, summer league baseball as the Greenbrier Knights come to town to take on our home team Outer Banks Daredevils to kick off the 2016 season, and meet former Major League All Star and Batting Champ, Michael Cuddyer.

 

Outer Banks Daredevils name Chris Childress 2015 Most Valuable Player!

The Outer Banks Daredevils have named Chris Childress as their 2015 Most Valuable Player. Childress led the team in hits, doubles, triples, runs scored, slugging percentage, on base + slugging percentage, batting average, and batting average with runners in scoring position. A threat on the bases, he stole 10 bases, and defensively, Childress had an All-Star caliber year as well, taking away doubles in the gap from his centerfield position, and daring anyone to run on him.

“Childress is a really good ballplayer, has a great sense for the game, really good instincts, has a plan, works hard, and has a great attitude. We had alot of great kids with us this summer, but I am sure all of them would agree that Childress was our MVP, on the field, in the clubhouse and in the community” said Coach Dooley.

Chris Childress is from Mechanicsville, VA, where he attended Hanover High School before attending College of the Albemarle for his first season of collegiate baseball. Chris Childress (2015 Daredevils MVP / College of the Albemarle) joins former Daredevils Connor Hall (2013 Daredevils MVP / Longwood Univ) and Dylan Harvey (2014 Daredevils MVP / West Va Tech) in the Daredevils Record Book. Congratulations Chris Childress, Outer Banks Daredevils 2015 Most Valuable Player!
