Dothan High baseball coach Alex Sanford talked favorably about the four players who signed junior college baseball scholarships Tuesday – two to Wallace College and two to Southern Union.
“It’s an outstanding accomplishment for what each of them has done as long as they’ve been on campus,” Sanford said. “Being with these guys for four years – some of them I’ve had the privilege of being with them for six – it’s been an honor to share the field with; the classroom and the halls.Brody Lindsey and Brooks Olive each signed with Southern Union, while Carter Davis and Blake Wynn inked with Wallace College during a ceremony in front of family and classmates.
On signing alongside teammates: “It made it special because we’re all pretty close, so that means a lot to look back and have these pictures of all your teammates with you.” Sanford on Lindsey: “He’s my returning starting pitcher. I’ve been able to count on him since he was a 10th grader.

I think he’ll feature well up at Southern Union as he continues to grow and develop.”2002 stats: 16 innings pitched, 5 games pitched, 3 starts, 2-1 record, 1.75 ERA and 1.06 WHIP .
On Wallace: “I think it’s a great fit. Coach Ihle seems like he really bought into me and I felt like that was one big thing I wanted to have going into the next level of baseball. And it’s right here at home, so I get to see my parents all of the time and get to go to work, so really excited.” Sanford on Davis: “He knows what these guys do and knows their strengths, their weaknesses. He knows how he can go out there and push buttons and communicates with them and make sure they are on the same page. He’s in the same situation as the other guys … as he grows and matures and gets bigger and stronger at Wallace, I think he’ll give some guys a run for their money behind the plate there as well.”2022 stats: In 29 games, .430 average and .
