Hall of Fame
Rogers, a record-setting performer for Mount Olive baseball, etched his name throughout the Trojans' record book with a career batting average of .403—one of the best in program history. He scored 86 runs in a single season, recorded six multi-home run games (including three consecutive multi-HR performances), and tied for eighth in single-season home runs with 17. His explosive offense and consistency made him one of the most feared hitters in Conference Carolinas during his career.
Nationally recognized for his accomplishments, Rogers earned multiple All-America honors, including 2011 ABCA and Daktronics Third Team and 2012 NCBWA and Daktronics Second Team selections. He was also named NCBWA Southeast Player of the Year and was a semifinalist for the prestigious Tino Martinez Award. Following his outstanding collegiate career, Rogers was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 40th round and went on to play six seasons of professional baseball, including four years in the Cubs' minor league system.
"It's hard to put into words how it feels — overwhelming, humbling, and deeply meaningful," said Rogers "To be recognized like this makes me reflect on every sacrifice, every late night, and everyone who supported me along the way."
