Easley's Pankake Makes Top 100 in Baseball

College Baseball Daily is counting down the "Top 100" players in the country and an Easley teen has made the list.

University of South Carolina shortstop Joey Pankake takes the No. 48 spot, according to publication.

The article says while Pankake is a great fielder, having started 62 of 66 games for the Gamecocks including a second-place finish in the College World Series, he may also see some time on the mound this year. Evidently, he has a fastball that hits the radar in the 90s.

Pankake got national attention after hitting his first homer of the year on National Pancake Day.

Pankake is a graduate of Easley High School and is the son of Joe and Jan Pankake.
