Edison State Chargers
Johnson
Advances to NCAA DII University
Marcus Johnson, of Lexington, Kentucky, has signed a national letter of
intent to play baseball at the Limestone University in South Carolina
following his successful career at Edison State Community College.
"Marcus is a great example of a guy who came in and really took the
coaching and transferred that to the field," said Edison State head
baseball coach Scott Jones. "He is an outstanding competitor and has
the character to match. He will be a great asset to Limestone."
Johnson, a two-year starting left-handed pitcher, will leave the
Charger baseball program as the career and single-season strikeout
record holder. In his career, Johnson threw 98.2 IP with 135 Ks, 73
hits, 43 BB, and 3.01 ERA. He received OCCAC Pitcher of the Week honors
twice in his career and was named All-OCCAC Second Team following the
2018 season.
Johnson will be the eighth Edison State baseball player in the last
three seasons to advance his career beyond the National Junior College
Athletic Association (NJCAA).
"We wish Marcus the best of luck with his baseball career and future,"
added Coach Jones.
While attending Limestone University, Johnson will continue working
toward bachelor's degree.
The Limestone University baseball program competes as Division II
members of the National College Athletic Association (NCAA).
