Kory Myers

​

New York Bombers (2000-2001)
In the 2000 Inaugural Draft, Myers was drafted in the seventh round by the Bombers. Even though he was drafted as a short stop, New York decided to use him at third base. Myers was a constant threat at the plate, ending his first season with a.308 batting average and 30 RBI, earning himself a Silver Slugger Award. Myers was kept quiet in the Championship Series, with his batting average dropping down to .148, but his performance this season was enough for New York to extend his contract for a year.

In 2001, Myers was harmed by ankle problems for the entirety of the season, but was still allowed to play by the team's medical staff. His batting average dropped considerably, but he showed that he can hit with power. He hit 9 home runs and 28 RBI for a slightly disappointing .269 batting average. He was let go by New York at the end of the season after they failed to reach an agreement.

Philadelphia Freedom (2002-
Myers was not met with great enthusiasm on the market, probably due to his ankle problems that kept affecting him last year. He was finally picked up by Philadelphia on a one-year deal in late May, just before the Opening Day. Myers' abilities continued to decline in 2002. He lowered his batting average, hit less hits, home runs and RBI. He extended his contract with Philadelphia at the end of the season.
