Cam Sharp

​

Chicago Cyclones (2000-2002)
In the 2000 Inaugural Draft, Sharp was a drafted in the third round by the Chicago Cyclones. Regarded as one of the best third baseman in baseball at the time, Sharp started the 2000 campaign with high expectations. Much like the whole Cyclones squad, Sharp's season was underwhelming. He hit for .279 with no home runs and just 14 RBI. However, his defensive ability was recognized, earning himself a Gold Glove at 3B.

During the offseason, BNN reported that Sharp's 2001 Season was in jeopardy after he was reportedly hospitalized for the better part of the winter. Those talks were aborted when Chicago officially announced him in their Opening Day lineup. Arguably the best third baseman in the league, Sharp kept his average at .279, but just hit a disappointing 6 RBI in an abysmal season for the Cyclones. He won the ABA Gold Glove Award and the ABA Silver Slugger Award at 3B.

More of a contact hitter, Sharp still didn't manage to hit a home run this season, but he hit 57 hits for a .305 batting average. It all ended up being disappointing, with only 11 RBI on an abysmal Chicago team. He decided to take his talent elsewhere at the end of the season, rejecting a contract extension by the Cyclones.

New York Bombers (2003-
Frustrated with his situation in Chicago, Sharp opted for the Bombers, signing a 4-year deal. He said he wanted to play at his full potential during the best years of his career.
