Weinberg signs with Kalamazoo

Aric Weinberg of Huntington Beach has signed a contract with the Kalamazoo Kings of the Frontier League. Weinberg, 24, played his first professional year of baseball last season with the Alexandria Aces of the Continental Baseball League.

The left-handed hitting outfielder from Marina High and Golden West College helped lead the Aces to the CBL championship and was the CBL’s starting left fielder in the division’s All-Star Game. Weinberg led the Aces in runs batted in, batting average with runners in scoring position and walks. He was third in home runs and runs scored and was among the team leaders in on-base percentage and slugging.

Weinberg was the first new player signed by the Kings this season. The Kings won the Frontier League’s Eastern Division title last year.
