Wilmington, NC - Former Wilmington Sharks outfielder John Raynor was recently named Most Valuable Player of the South Atlantic League. Raynor, now a Greensboro Grasshopper, the Single A affilliate of the Florida Marlins, lead the league this summer with an impressive 110 runs scored. He also finished second in the league with a .333 batting average. As a Sharks player, Raynor served as a great team leader and an important asset. Sharks Assistant GM Chris Reavis was the game-day opperations manager the year Raynor played with the Sharks. "Right away I could tell that Raynor was going to be a valuable asset to our team and I knew he had a bright future" said Reavis. Raynor was also a four year standout at UNC-W.
