The Solingen Alligators have added a third American player for the 2012 season. After starting pitcher Shelby Robertson and first baseman/outfielder Branden Roper-Hubbert, the northern division team added shortstop Travis Bass. The 24-year-old is expected to arrive in Germany in two weeks after finishing the baseball season in Australia. He was recommended by former Alligator Evan Porter. Bass attended Castleton State College and Eastern Connecticut State University. He also has some coaching experience.
