A very impressive young man. With the way Army has been playing in recent years, there may be more cadets which major league baseball will be interested in.
Yea I recently made the choice Im going into the Navy and was planning on playing for Navy.
Schuyler Williamson is opening that door:
"As part of the U.S. Army's recently implemented Alternative Service Option plan, Williamson will owe two years of active service in the Army, during which time he will be allowed to play baseball in the Tigers' system and assigned to a recruiting station. Following those two years, should he remain in professional baseball, he would be given the option of "trading" the remaining three years of his active-duty commitment for six years of reserve duty. There is also a "buy-out" component that requires reimbursement to the government for educational costs. "
