The Normal CornBelters have signed utility player Sam Judah.

In 2011, Judah concluded his collegiate career at Auburn University of Montgomery with a .335 batting average, 11 doubles, four home runs, and 37 RBI. He then signed with the Lake County Fielders of the independent North American League. In 19 games with the Fielders, he hit .255 with 13 hits, six RBI and three doubles.

“Sam is another super-utility rookie that can play absolutely anywhere on the field,” said CornBelters Manager Chad Parker. “He was a great hitter in college, and he has great potential to hit as a professional.”
