Outfielder
Bobby Felmy (pronounced FELL-me) played his first collegiate season
as a member of the Georgia Perimeter College Jaguars and coach David
Stephenson. A Second Team NJCAA All-American, he was selected by
the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 38th round of the 2003 first-year
player draft.
Felmy,
also an All-District and All-Region selection, was one of the leading
hitters in the Georgia Junior College Association this past year.
He batted a team-best .412 with 10 home runs, 17 doubles, two triples,
58 RBI and went 12-for-14 in stolen base attempts. He had a perfect
fielding percentage and recorded seven assists from the outfield.
GPC advanced to the semifinals of the state playoffs, going 36-14
overall including 18-6 in the GJCCA. A native of Sunbury, Penn.,
he is a graduate of Shikellamy High School. He was a four-year starter
for the Braves and three-time All-East All-Star and winner of the
All-East Sportsmanship Award. Bobby is the son of Robert and Tammy
Felmy.
"Bobby
will join us a sophomore and look for him to be a leadoff type hitter,"
said Perno. "We've wanted to get Bobby into the program last
season but we had a lot of outfielders so he went to GPC for a year."
Felmy,
a freshman outfielder, was named second team All America after hitting
.412 (70-for-170), with 10 home runs, 58 runs batted in, 17 doubles
and 40 runs scored. He also posted a .490 on base percentage and
a .712 slugging percentage.
