Reigning German title holder Heidenheim Heidekoepfe has added two new import players for the 2016 season in the German Baseball-Bundesliga. 29-year-old Wes Roemer and 23-year-old Terrell Joyce are joining the team.
Roemer is a right-handed pitcher from California, who was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2007. He reached Triple-A during his professional baseball career, but except for a couple of MLB Spring Training Games didn’t make it to the big leagues. The graduate of the California State University might has a shot for a German passport and wouldn’t block a foreign player spot in Heidenheim. He also will serve as pitching coach for the Heidekoepfe.
Joyce is a third baseman from Virginia, who played three seasons in the Houston Astros organization. He is also supposed to be a reliever during the European Champions Cup in Rimini/San Marino.
