From: - http://mckinneynews.net/news.php?nid=13934 - The McKinney Marshals' Chase Huchingson proved his worth to the Texas Collegiate League as an outfielder and a pitcher this summer. He also proved his worth to the New York Mets.
The Mets signed Huchingson, a University of Central Arkansas player, to a free agent deal. He is playing for the Kingsport Mets of the Appalachian League. That's a Rookie League team based in Tennessee. Huchingson was drafted in the 23rd round by Houston in 2008 out of Arkansas-Fort Smith and in the 34th round by Texas in 2007 out of Fayetteville (Ark.) High School. But he chose to play for UCA, where he struggled in 2010 with a .236 batting average just a year after hitting .355 as a sophomore in Fort Smith. That's where his success in the TCL helped plenty. Undrafted this year, his showijng for the Marshals led New York to tender him a free-agent deal.
