Cotter 'Hangs Up His Cleats' After Going Undrafted

Casey Cotter of Merrimack College was the 2013 Northeast-10 Conference's Baseball Player of the Year.

UPDATE: North Hampton's Casey Cotter says he's "hanging up the cleats" after failing to get picked by a Major League Baseball club over the weekend. The Merrimack College senior went undrafted, according to Assistant Sports Information Director Chris Aliano.
