Thank you @HailStateBB for the best 2 years of my life! The moments spent in Starkville I will cherish forever. Thank you to my coaches, my teammates, and to the fans. Y’all will be family forever but with that being said I am transferring to @MemphisBaseball for my last year! pic.twitter.com/3KvFxKhBB4
This past season, Skinner hit .273 for the Bulldogs with no homers and 11 runs-batted-in. He entered the transfer portal following the Mississippi State season. In the Bulldogs’ College World Series championship-clinching victory, Skinner scored two runs.
Skinner was a first-team all-MACJC selection in his freshman season at Northwest. He was a four-year letterwinner under Tyler Brewer at Lake Cormorant.
Skinner will be playing for new Memphis baseball coach Kerrick Jackson, recently named with the retirement of coach Daron Schoenrock at the end of the Tigers’ season.
