Sailors-who was the team Captain and pitching leader at UM-Presque Isle-is currently serving as a coach and instructor for MLB in China.  Besides playing professionally in the Pacific Association, Oz-as she is known throughout the baseball world-has also played in Australia, the World Baseball League and on Team USA.

Once her MLB contract is up in April of 2018, Oz will return to the States and not only continue her role in overseas development and placement but will also play in the Desert League during the league's third season.  She currently plays in China with the Suzhou Flying Fish and the Shanghai Buccaneers as a middle infielder.

"We are delighted to have Oz join us both as a staff member and a player," said Director of Operations John Guy.  "She is not only a quality player but she represents what the Desert League is all about-inclusion and global reach for our players."
