Over the last three weeks, I have updated you on former Gamecocks players in Major League Baseball. A few are in the majors and many are inching their way up the rungs of the minor leagues. 

For a recap, here is part one, two and three.

This week, you will be updated for five more players who are more recent USC graduates.

Let's take a look at who they are.

Scott Wingo—Rancho Cucamonga Quakes
