IF John Hinson (23)
Born in North Carolina and drafted out of Clemson in the 13th round in 2011, Hinson quickly made his mark in his first season at Tri-City. The lefty hit .284 with a .348 OBP and a .389 SLG in 48 games for the Valley Cats before being sidelined by an injury in early August that put him on the DL for the rest of the season.
