JACKSON, Tenn. - 8/27/2008 - Reid Gann, of Golden, Mississippi, has signed with the Union University baseball team for the upcoming season. Gann will enter Union this fall as a sophomore and will major in Athletic Training.

His high school career included four seasons of baseball and football at Belmont (Miss.) High School. In baseball, Gann helped lead his team to a region title and state playoff run as a sophomore. He was named baseball All-Region twice, while also being named to the Northeast Mississippi All-Star Classic. Gann hit .420 with 37 RBI and four homeruns as a senior.

Union head coach Brent Fronabarger says, “Reid has gap-to-gap power and will provide pop to the middle of the lineup.”
