The Sugar Land Skeeters announced that the club has agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Michael Nix, as well as outfielder Michael Rockett for the 2014 season. The organization also ac-quired former Major Leaguer Delwyn Young via trade from the Atlantic League Camden Riversharks in exchange for future considerations.
Nix, 30, went 9-2 with a 1.88 ERA (16ER/76.2IP) in 14 total appearances (12 starts) for Sugar Land in 2013. Prior to his midseason sign-ing with the Chicago White Sox organization, Nix took home Atlantic League Pitcher of the Month honors in May, going 5-0 in five starts span-ning 30.1 scoreless innings. An 11th round pick of the At-lanta Braves in the June 2005 Draft out of Auburn Univer-sity, the 6-foot-5 righthander was also named the Skeeters’ starting pitcher in the first-ever Atlantic League Playoff game at Constellation Field on September 17, 2013. Over nine career minor league sea-sons, Nix is 43-38 with a 3.84 ERA (256ER/599.2IP) and 572 strikeouts.
Rockett, 26, returns after playing 87 games with the Skeeters in 2013, primar-ily in the outfield. He hit .221 (57x258) with eight doubles and 27 RBI last season. Prior to joining the Skeeters, the Sugar Land native spent four seasons in the Detroit Tigers minor league system, reaching as high as Triple A Toledo in 2009. Drafted by Detroit in the 13th round of the June 2009 Draft out of the University of Texas – San Antonio, Rockett owns a career .244 (359x1473) average over five professional minor league seasons.

Prior to joining the At-lantic League, he spent parts of five seasons in the Major Leagues with Los Angeles-NL (2006-08) and Pittsburgh (2009-10), combining for a .258 (183x710) average. Over 11 minor league sea-sons, he owns a career .288 (1087x3769) average with 603 RBI. A native of Cali-fornia, Young was drafted three times as an amateur, ul-timately signing with the Los
