N.C. State baseball’s Brock Deatherage earned his rightful recognition Wednesday for a lifetime of having to use “death” and “rage” every time he writes his name.
Baseball America’s Michael Lananna, a UNC grad, tweeted his 52 favorite names in Division I baseball Wednesday morning in no particular order, and Deadspin writer Emma Baccellieri, a Duke grad, decided to rank the list.
The Wolfpack’s Deatherage (pronounced DEATH-er-rige), born to be a baseball player – or a WWE wrestler – came in at No. 1.
Baseball players generally have pretty awesome names. These are my favorite baseball names from the 2017 college season.
