Former South Carolina Gamecocks in MLB: Where Are They Now? (Part 3)

Over the last two weeks, I have updated you on ten of the 26 former Gamecocks currently in MLB. Some of these players have already spent time in the majors, some are still there and some are still working their way through the minor leagues.

In case you missed it, here are the first five and second five.

Take a look at the next five players on this list.

Reese Havens-Binghampton Mets

Reese Havens has spent two full seasons with the New York Mets AA team. He also played 18 games for Binghampton in 2010.

Havens is currently hitting .232/.365/.370. In 85 games, he has nine home runs and 33 RBI. 

An interesting note: Havens also has 100 strikeouts as of August 19.

Blake Cooper-Visalia Rawhide

Blake Cooper is in his second season with the advanced A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

2012 is his first full season with the team.

He also has three saves. 

In 43 games, Cooper has a WHIP of 1.39 and 55 strikeouts.

Justin Dalles-Released

Technically, Justin Dalles shouldn't be on this list because he is currently not in MLB. But he did play this season and is a former Gamecock, so he gets to be included.

He was promoted to advanced A Fredrick Keys in May. In 41 games, Dalles hit .234/.297/.331 before being released in July.
