Help Send Caeden Cloud to the All-Star Game

Looking back at the offensive performance of the Newport Gulls this summer so far, there is one name that will always come up. That player is middle infielder Caeden Cloud, the rising sophomore out of Kentucky. Whether the team needs a clutch hit or a highlight reel play in the field, Cloud's got it covered. The skills and talent of this infielder sure is enough to get to the NECBL All Star game but Caeden needs YOUR help to get there. To help send one of the Gulls up to Maine this Sunday, go to the NECBL Instagram page and comment "Caeden Cloud" on the South Division fan vote post. 

There are many reasons why Cloud should be going up to Maine this weekend and one of them is simple, his stats this season. The middle infielder is batting just under .300 in 24 games played. The rising sophomore has 7 doubles, 5 home runs, and 22 runs batted in for Newport this summer. With 111 plate appearances, Cloud has been a staple in the Gulls lineup for most games this season. 

Outside of the strong hitting of Cloud, the Kentucky Wildcat is a magician with his glove making well placed balls in the infield and easy out. Switching back and forth from shortstop to second base there are no mistakes. Cloud is strong at both spots and would love to share the middle infield once more in the All Star Game with his Samford pair, Gus Gandy. These two fine infielders make up the power and leadership of this Newport defense and the team would not be the same without them. Gandy is in but Cloud needs everyone's help to go up North on Sunday. 

Fan voting started today at noon and concludes on Thursday, July 24th. GET OUT YOUR PHONES, GO TO THE NECBL INSTAGRAM, AND COMMENT "CAEDEN CLOUD" ON THE SOUTH DIVISION POST.
