SENATOBIA – A trio of Northwest baseball players have signed to continue their careers at the Division I level as part of the NCAA's November early signing period.

Pitcher Reed Harding (Memphis), shortstop Tanner Leggett (Mississippi State) and outfielder Hayden Leatherwood (Ole Miss) all inked NLI's Wednesday afternoon on the Senatobia campus.

Harding was 5-2 with a 3.52 ERA and four saves in 14 relief appearances last year. He struck out 28 in 23 innings of work, holding opponents to a .225 average and allowing just nine earned runs.

Leggett started 41 of the Rangers' 44 games at short, fielding .919 in over 200 chances. He hit .253 with a team-high 13 doubles and 13 RBIs and added seven stolen bases and team-best 10 sacrifice hits.

Leatherwood hit .388 with nine doubles, three triples, 15 home runs and 47 RBIs in his freshman season. He ended the year on a home run spree, hitting seven in his final 10 games. His .905 slugging percentage ranks second-best in a single-season behind Ranger assistant coach Bill Selby.
