COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - The Columbus Blue Devils added another number to the right field wall on Friday afternoon, formally retiring the number 12 worn by former Devils baseball star Jordan Weems.
Weems was a catcher on the state title teams of 2010 and 2011, one of the key players in the CHS title drives of those seasons.
He was a fourth round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox, who converted him to pitching. Weems signed with the Oakland Athletics as a free agent before the 2020 season, and went on to make his big league debut with the A’s in August.
